Needing re-enforcements to prop

What the Doctor Knows
KIDNEYS MUST BE RIGHT TO
INSURE HEALTH

Few people realize to what extent their
health depends upon the condition of the
kidneys.
The physician in nearly all cases of Sc
rious illness, makes chemical analysis
of the patients urine. He knows that un-
less the kidneys are doing their work
properly, the other organs cannot readily
be brought back to health and strength.
When the kidneys are neglected or
abused in any way serious results are sure
to follow. Therefore, it is particularly
necessary to pay more attention to the
health OF these important organs.
An ideal herbal compound that has had
remarkable success as a kidney remedy il
DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root.
The mild and healing influence of this
preparation, in most cases, is soon real.
ized according to sworn statements and
verified testimony of those who have used
the remedy.
When your kidneys require attention,
get Swamp Root at once from any phar-
macy. It is sold by every druggist in bot
ties of two sizes-50c and $1.00.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation, send ten cents to DR.:

sample bottle. When writing be sure and
