LIFE INSURANCE COMPANIES
They Are Closely Observing Public
Health Conditions

An examining physician for one Of
the prominent Life Insurance Com
panies, in an interview on the sub
feet, made the astonishing statement
that one reason why so many appli-
cants for insurance are rejected is be-
rause kidney trouble is so common to
the American people, and the large
majority of those whose applications
are declined do not even suspect that
they have the disease.
According to this it would seem that
medicine for the kideys, possessing
great healing and curative properties,
would be a blessing to thousands.
DR.. Kilmer & Co, Binghamton, N.
r., who prepare Dr. Kilmer' g Swamp
Root, the well-known kidney, liver
and bladder remedy, claim that judg-
ing from evidence received from drug
gists everywhere. who are constantly
in touch with their customers, and
also indisputable proof in the form of
grateful testimonial letters from thou
sands of reliable citizens, this pre-
paration is remarkably successful in
sickness caused by kidney and blad-
der troubles. Every interesting state
nent they receive regarding Swamp
Root is investigated and no testi-
monial is published unless the party
who sends 1t is reported of good char
acter. They have on file many sworn
statements of recoveries in the most
distressing cases. They state that
DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root is mild and
gentle in its action and its healing in
fiuence is soon noticed in most cases.
Swamp Root is purely an herbal
compound and DR.. Kilmer & Co. ad-
wise all readers who feel in need OF
such remedy to give it a trial. 1t is
on sale at all drug stores in bottles Of
two sizes-50c and $1.00. However, II
you wish first to test this great pre-
paration send ten cents to DR.. Kill
rner & Co. Binghamton, N, Y, for a
sample bottle. When writing be sure
md mention The Newark Star.
