The last time l was travelling in
Texas when my kidneys became affec-
TED, and for ten days l suffered excru-
eating pains, accompanied with severe
chills. Several years previous, having
been relieved of a similar attack. /
naturally sought relief as before from
Swamp-Root.
After using four of the large size
