Bladder troubles almost always result
from arrangement of the kidneys and
a cure is obtained quickest by proper
treatment of the kidneys. If you are feel

taking DIR. Kilner's Swamp-ROot, the
great kidney, liver and bladder remedy.

1t stands the highest for its wonderful
cures of the most distressing cases.
