FRIENDS EXPERIENCE MS PROFIT.
Severe Case of La Grippe Left Mr. Duncan Ross with Veal Back. Swamp Roots Virtues Sue
 cessftlIy Tested

MT. Duncan Ross, proprietor of Ross's Barber Shop, under the Exchange Hotel. and one of the best and most widely known members of the tonsorial craft in Montgomery. had a severe spell of la grip about six or eight weeks ago. which left him with a very weak back, from which he suffered constant pain. Friends told him of the wonderful curative prop critics possessed by Swamp-Root, and he reluctantly gave it a trial. The first two bottles relieved him entirely and he is today in good health. In speaking of the matter to a reporter of The Advertiser a few days ago, he told the following interesting story of his case:
 About six weeks ago l contracted a severe case of la grip, which left me with a weak back. which not only gave me constant pain and annoyance. but prevented me from attending to my du- ties as proprietor of Rosss Barber Shop. Particularly was my back troublesome on Saturdays, when I have to remain at the barber shop from early in the morning until midnight For the past four or five weeks I have been unable to remain on duty at night and, in consequence, not only lost considerable business, but had

to leave my shop in charge of an assist ant,
 T read in The Advertiser several weeks ago a testimonial from my fellow tonso- rial artist, MT. c. H. Kruegar, in which he spoke of having been cured of a sim liar trouble by Swamp-RootI naturally concluded that if it cured MT. krueger. who was similarly affected to myself 1t would do as much for me. This fact, coupled with the opportunities of my friends persuaded me to try Swamp Root. I purchased bottle and before 1t was consumed, began to feel relief. have just completed the second bottle and feel much better. My back is stronger and I am able to attend to the regular routine of my business, remaining just as long as necessary.
 T think the trouble in my back was due to disordered kidneys and liver. and know that Swamp-Root put them in thorough condition. I believe Swamp Root is a great medicine, that 1t possesses great curative properties, and deserves all the good that can be said of it.
 Yours truly.
