Gives Good Advice.

1t gives me great pleasure to take this
method of thanking you for what Dir.
Kilmer's Swamp-Root has done for my
wife and at the same time to cheerfully
recommend it to all sufferers from kidney
trouble.
My wife had suffered terribly from kid
ney disease and had tried all kinds of
patent medicines with no success, until
a druggist recommended swamp Root.
That brought the only relief she has had
in years and she is now feeling better
than she ever did before. / believe this
is due entirely to Swamp-R Root and stand
firm in my statement when l say that
Swamp-Root is the king of all kidney
remedies You have my consent to pub
lish this statement at any time in the in
terest of humanity.
Yours very truly,
