Grippe and was confined to my bed

able to get up and attend to my work.
About year later my husband was af-
fected with severe attack of kidney
trouble and doctored for some time
with the doctors and received no bene-
fit. Knowing of the good l had re-
ceived, he decided to try Swamp-Root.
His condition was such that he was con
fined to his bed and ords cannot tell
how he suffered, but after taking
Swamp Root he was relieved so he
could go on with his work without
pain. | wish to heartily recommend
Swamp Root to all persons afflicted with
kidney and bladder troubles and you
may publish this letter if you wish.
Yours truly,
