ARE YOUR KIDNEYS WEAK?
Thousands of Men and Women Have
Kidney Trouble and Never Suspect 1t.

Nature warns you when the track of
health is not clear. Kidney and blad-
der troubles cause many annoying
symptoms and great inconvenience
both day and night.
Unhealthy kidneys may cause lum-
bago, rheumatism, catarrh of the blad-
der, pain or dull ache in the back,
joints or muscles, at times have head
ache or indigestion, as time passes
you may have a sallow complexion,
puffy or dark circles under the eyes,
sometimes feel as though you had
heart trouble, may have plenty of am
bition but no strength, get weak and
lose flesh.
If such conditions are permitted to
continue, serious results may be ex-
peeted. Kidney Trouble in it's very
worst form may steal upon you.
Prevatency of Kidney Disease.
Most people do not realize the
alarming increase and remarkable
prevalency of kidney disease. While
kidney disorders are among the most
common diseases that prevail, they are
almost the last recognized by patients,
who usually content themselves with
doctorine the effects, while the original
disease may constantly undermine the
system.
If you feel that your kidneys are the
cause of your sickness or run down
condition, try taking DR.. Kilmer's
Swamp Root. the famous kidney, liver
and bladder remedy, because as soon
as your kidneys improve, they will help
the other organs to health.
If you are already convinced that
Swamp Root is what you need, you
can purchase the regular fifty-cent
and one-d dollar size bottles at all drug
stores. Don't make any mistake but
