mer's Swamp Root, that has real curative
value almost sells itself. Like an endless
chain system the remedy 10 recommended
by those who have been benefited to those

DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root is physi-
clans prescription. 1t has been tested
for years and has brought results to count
less numbers who have suffered.
The success of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root
is due to the fact that it fuflls almost ev-
cry wish in overcoming kidney, liver and
bladder diseases, eorrects urinary troubles
and neutralizes the uric acid which causes
rheumatism.

Root from any druggist now. Start treat

great preparation send ten cents to DR..
Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y, for a
sample bottle. When writing be sure AID
