taking the great kidney remedy, Dr..
Kilmer's Swamp-Root, because as soon
as your kidneys are well they will help
all the other organs to health. A trial

Women suffer as much from kidney and
bladder troubles as men do, which fact is
often lost sight of. Many times when the
doctors services are sought he quickly
comes to the conclusion that hers is an
other case of female weakness or womb

Many of the so-called female com

disease.
Among the many famous investigated cures of
Swaup-Root, the one which publish today for
the benefit of our readers speaks in the highest
terms Of the wonderful curative properties of this
