Life Insurance
Companies
They Are Closely Observing
Public Health Conditions

An examining physician for one of
the prominent Life Insurance Com
panies, in an interview on the subject
made the astonishing statement that
the reason why so many applicants
for insurance are rejected is because
kidney trouble is so common to the
American people, and the large ma
jority of applicants do not even sus-
pect that they have the disease.
He states that judging from his own
experience and reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch
with the public. there is one prepara-
ton that has probably been more sue
cessful in relieving and curing these
diseases than any rem edy known. The
mild and healing influence of DR.. Kill
mer's Swamp-Root is soon realized.
It stands the highest for it's remark

an herbal compound and we woud ad-
wise our readers who feel in need of
such a remedy to give it a trial. 1t
