tsndvely advertised ell at once drop out
Of sight and arc soon forgotten? The
reason 10 plain-thc article did not fulfil
the promises Of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly 10 a medicine.
4 medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself. as like
an endless chain system the remedy is
recommended by those who have been
cured to those who are in need Of it.
In an interview on the subject a prom
inent local druggist says: Take for ex-
ample DR.. kilmer's Swamp-Ro Root, a pre-
paration have sold for many years
and never hesitate TO recommend, for
in almost every case it shows immediate
results. as many Of my customers testify.
No other kidney remedy that ] know Of
has so large a sale"
The success Of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp
Root is due to the fact that il fulfils every
wish in overcoming kidney. liver and
bladder diseases, corrccts urinary troub-
les and neutralizcs the uric acid which
