What To Do. ..
There is comfort in the knowledge so
often expressed, that DR.. Kilmer's
Swamp Root, the great kidney remedy,
fulflls every wish in curing rheumatism,
pain in the back, kidneys, liver, bladder
and every part of the urinary passage.
It corrects inability to hold water
and scalding pain in passing it, or bad
effects following use of liquor, wine or
beer, and overcomes that unpleasant me-
cessity of being compelled to go often
during the day, and to get up many
times during the night. The mild and
the extraordinary effect of Swamp-R00t
is soon realized. 1t stands the highest
for its wonderful cures of the most dis
tressing cases. II you need a medicine
