LIFE INSURANCE COMPANIES.

An examining physician for one of the
prominent Life Insurance Companies in
an interview on the subject. made the
astonishing statement that the reason
why 50 many applicants for insurance
are rejected is because kidney trouble is
so common to the American people, and
the large majority Of applicants do not
even suspect that they have the dis
ease.
He states that judging from his own
experience and reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public. there is one preparation that
has probably been more successful in
relieving and curing these diseases than
any remedy known. The mild and heal
ing influence of DR.. kilmer's Swamp
Root is soon realized. 1t stands the
highest for its remarkable record of cures.
