The Kidney Complexion

The pale, sallow, sunken-cheeked, dis
tressed-looking people you so often meet
are afflicted with kidney Complexion. u
Their kidneys are turning to a parsnip
color. So is their complexion.
They may also have indigestion, or
suffer from sleeplessness, rheumatism,
neuralgia, brain trouble, nervous exhaus-
ton and sometimes the heart acts badly
The cause is weak, unhealthy kidneys
Usually the sufferer from kidney dis
ease does not find out what the trouble
is until it is almost too late, because the
first symptoms are so like mild sickness
that they do not think they need a med
icine or a doctor until they find them
selves sick in bed.
DIR. Kilmer's Swamp-Root will build
up and strengthen their weak and dis
eased kidneys, purify their diseased, kid
ney-poisoned blood, clear their com.
plexion and soon they will enjoy better
health.
You can get the regular sizes at the
drug store, at fifty cents and one dollar
or you may first prove for yourself the
wonderful virtues of this great discovery
