without dragging my feet. I would
urimate frequently and would have to
rise two or three times during the night,
causing me to suffer from loss of sleep.
And with the pain 1 was all run down
and began to lose flesh. 1 saw Swamp
ltoot advertised and bought one bottle
to try it, After taking it 1 felt better
and could sleep all right at night. 1
continued to take it until 1 had taken

gain in weight. L always recommend
Swamp-Root to my friends as 1 think
the cure in my case remarkable.
