rheumatism. 1 became so bad that !
could hardly get on my feet from a sit
ting position. I run down in weight
from 1876 to 145 pounds. tried differ
ent kinds Of medicine, but received
little or no help. I saw DR.. Kilmer's
Swamp Root highly recommended for
kidney trouble, but I never had any
idea that my kidneys were effected. !
thought l would try a fifty-cent bottle
of Swamp Root and see what the ef-
feet would be. commenced taking 1t
according to directions, and in a few
days I saw that it was helping me. !
used the so cent bottle and then bought
two more 81 bottles, and they COM
pletely cured me. I have got back to
my original weight, 1876 pounds, and !
am thorough advocate of DR.. Kill
mer's Swamp-Root. Very truly,
