greatly. Last year had severe attack
of lumbago. Was bad for a long time,
and on seeing your advertisement, I de-
termined to give it trial. I did SO and
IN two weeks was cured. gave bottle

She came to me IN four days to tell me
she was all right and most thankful
had another attack last November and
was so bad that, I could not rise from my
chair without assistance and could hardly
lace up my boots. 1 at once sent for
more Swamp-Root and after taking two
bottles, I am more than glad that am

am the more convinced of the excellence
of Dr.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root.
Yours very truly,
