KIDNEY TRoUBLE-A W0MAN'S
GOOD ADVICE.

I regard Dr.. Kilmer's ~Swamp-Root
as the best medicine for kidney anc
bladder trouble l have ever taken and
] will always recommend it to all that
are afflicted with bladder or kidney
trouble. For eleven months l was al
fiicted with kidney and bladder trou-
BILE in violent form. The symptoms In
my case were fearful. During all this
time l was being treated by the best
and foremost doctors Of the country,
all Of them failing to AFFORD me the
slightest relief and l continued to
grow worse all the time and while L
had utmost confidence in their treat
ment, it seemed that the time a
come in my case when I must try 9TH
or remedies, consequently, l resorted
to the use of ~Swamp-Eoot and before
I had taken three small bottles, every
pain and symptom had completely dis
appeared. For any form OF kidney
trouble, DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root Is
the medicine to use.. I have never
known 1t to fail in a single case.
