Bladder troubles almost always result
from arrangement of the kidneys and
a cure is obtained quickest by a proper
treatment of the kidneys. If you are feel
ing badly you can make no mistake by
taking DIR. KilIner's Swamp-ROot, the
great kidney, liver and bladder remedy.
1t corrects inability to hold urine and
