THE SECRET OF SUCCESS
6enulue Merit Required TO Win the
Peoples Confidence.

Have you ever stopped to reason why
it is that so many products that are ex-
tensively advertised, all at once drop
out of sight and are soon forgotten?
The reason is plain the article did not
fulfil the promises of the manufacturer.
This applies more particularly to a med
icine. A medicinal preparation that has
real curative value almost sells itself,
as like an endless chain system the
remedy is recommended by those who
are in need Of it.
A prominent druggist says Take for
example DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, a
preparation | have sold for many years
and never hesitate to recommend, for
in almost every case it shows excellent
results, as many Of my customers testi-
fly. No other kidney remedy that
know of has so large a sale
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who
have used the preparation, the success
Of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root is due to
the fact that it fulflIs almost every
wish in overcoming kidney, liver and
bladder diseases, corrects urinary
troubles and neutralizes the uric acid
which causes rheumatism.
You may receive a sample bottle OF
Swamp-Root by Parcels Post. Address
DR.. Kilmer & Co., B~inghamton, N. Y,
