FOR CHILDREN

About one year ago two of my chill

They would have severe spells of dizzi-
ness and were all run down in health.
j was just about discouraged. l tried
several remedies and finally doctor
but they did not seem to improve. l
knew of friend who was taking
Swamp-Ro for kidney trouble with
good results and decided to get some
for the children. / had noticed that
there were some Improvement after
they had taken two large bottles and
continued to give it to them until they
had taken one-half dozen bottles and
were well on the road to recovery. 1
