Gall Stones Expelled by the Great

Swamp-Root has done so far for me.
About one year ago / was taken
sick with terrible pain In my right
side. My family physician pronounc-
ed it appendicitis. About two weeks
ago I received your Almanac and
read in it about weak kidneys, and
my back hurting me so much, l
thought l would try your Swamp
Root and to my great astonishment,
after using one bottle, expelled
three gall stones, which weighed 1876
grains-just think of it. My kidneys
are not well yet, and so I have con-
cluded to continue with Swamp-Root.
Mr.. Schwake, the druggist, thought
that it never was appendicitis and
that the doctor had made a mistake.
1t was no doubt, gall stones that
caused the trouble, or they would not
have come away so soon after COM
mencing with SWamp-Root.

from kidney, liver and bladder trou-
bles and am very thankful that l ever
