q fourth doctor, who pronounced my dis
ease gall stones. l suffered intense pain
and the only relief the doctor could give
me was by injections of morphine. l was
so completely discouraged that / had al
most given up hope when a neighbor told
me about DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root. l
decided to try it and began its use at
