Are YOUR KIDNEYS WEAK?

IL used to be considered that only urinary
and bladder troubles were to be traced to the
kidneys, but now modern science proves that
nearly all diseases have their beginning in the
disorder of these most important organs.
The kidneys filter and purify the blood-that
Is their work.
Therefore when your kidneys weak
out OF order, you understand how quickly
your entire body is affected, and how every
organ seems to fail to do it's duty
If you are sick feel badly" begin taking
the great kidney remedy, Dr. Kilmer's Swamp
Root, because your kidneys begin to
get better they will help all the other organs tot
health. A trial will convince any

A. R. Reynolds Chief Of Police
Columbus, Ga.
Weak and unhealthy kidneys are responsible
FOR many kinds of diseases, and if permitted to
continue much suffering and fatal results are
sure to follow. Kidney trouble initiates the
nerves, makes you dizzy, restless sleepless and
irritable Makes you pass water often during
the day and obliges you to get up many times
during the night Unhealthy kidneys cause
rheumatism. gravel. -catarrh of the bladder,
pain dull ache in the back, joints and mus
ces; make your head ache and back ache,
cause indigestion, stomach and liver trouble,
you get sallow, yellow complexion; make you
feel as though you had heart trouble; you may
have plenty Of ambition, but no strength: get
weak and waste away.
The cure for these troubles Is DR.. Kilrner's
Swamp-Ro the world famous kidney rem
edy. In taking Swamp-Root you afford
natural help to Nature. for Swamp Root
Is the most perfect healer and gentle aid to the

How to Find Out.

If there is any doubt in your mind as to
your condition, take from your urine rising
about four ounces, place it in a glass or bottle
and let 1t stand twenty-four hours. If on ex-
animation it is milky cloudy, if there is
brick-dust settling, if small particles float
about in 1t, your kidneys are in need of imme-
date attention. 49,
Swamp Root Is pleasant to take and is used
In the leading hospitals, recommended by ply
sicians in their private practice, and is taken
by doctors themselves who have kidney all
ments, because they recognize in it the greatest
and most successful remedy for kidney, liver
and bladder troubles.
