A VALUABLE SUGGESTION
IMPORTANT TO EVERYONE

It is now conceded by physicians that
the kidneys should have more attention
as they control the other. organs to a
remarkable degree and do tremen-
dous amount of work in removing the
poisonS and waste matter from the
system by filtering the blood.
During the winter months especially
when we live an indoor life. the kidneys
should receive some assistance when
needed, as we take less exercise. drink
less water and often eat more rich
heavy food. thereby forcing the kidneys
to do more work than Nature intended.
Evidence of kidney trouble, such as
lame back annoying bladder troubles,
smarting or burning. brick-dust or
sediment, sallow complexion, rheuma-
tisn may be weak or irregular heart
action, warns you that yonr kidneys
REQUIRE help Immediately to avoid more
serious trouble.
Many physicians claim that an herbal
medicine containing no minerals or
opiates has the most healing influence.
An ideal herbal compound that has had
most remarkable success as a kidney
and bladder remedy is Dr. Kilmers
Swamp Root.
You may receive a sample bottle OF
Swamp Root by Parcels Post. Address
DR.. Kilner e Co, Binghamton. \. ".
and enclose ten cents; also mention the
