A WARNING TO MANY
Some Interesting Facts About
Kidney Trouble

Few people realize to what extent
their health depend upon the condl-
tion of the kidneys.
The physician in nearly all cases of
serious illness, makes chemical
analysis of the patients urine. He
knows that unless the kidneys are do
ing their work properly, the other or
gans 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. According to health
statistics, Brights disease which is
really an advanced form of kidney
trouble, caused nearly ten thousand
deaths in 1918, in the State of New
to pay more attention to the health of
these most important organs.
An ideal herbal compound that has
had remarkable success as kidney
remedy is DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root,
the great Kidney, Liver and Bladder
Remedy.
The mild and healing influence of
this preparation, in most cases, is soon
realized, according to sworn state
mcnts and verified testimony of those
who have used the remedy.
If you feel that your kidneys re-
uuire attention, and wish a sample bot
tie, write to DIR. Kilmer & CO., Bing-
hamton, y. Y. Mention this paper,
enclose ten cents and they will glad
ly forward it to you by Parcel Post.
