Some Interesting Facts About
Kidney Trouble.

Few people realize to what extent
their health depends upon the condi-
ton of the Kidneys.
The physician in nearly all cases of
serious illness, makes chemical an
alysis of the patients urine. He
knows that unless the kidneys are do
ing their work properly, the organs
cannot readily be brought back to
health and strength.
When the kidneys are neglected or
abused in any way, serious results are
sure to follow. According to health
statistics, Bright's disease which is
really an advanced form of kidney
trouble, caused nearly ten thousand
deaths in 1913, in the state of New
York alone. Therefore, 1t behooves us
to pay more attention to the health of
these most important organs.
An ideal herbal compound that has
had remarkable success as kidney
remedy is DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root,
the great Kidney, Liver and Bladder
Remedy.
The mild and healing influence of
this preparation, in most cases, is soon
realized, according to sworn statements
and verified testimony of those who
have used the remedy.
If you feel that your kidneys require
attention, and wish a sample bottle,
write to Dr. Kilmer g. Co., Bingham
ton, N. Y. Mention this paper, en-
close ten cents and they will gladly
forward it to you BY Parcel Post.
Swamp-Root is sold by every drug
gist in bottles of two sizes-50c and
Sl.00.
