/ was so bad at times / would faint
away and had sinking spells. Finally
a new doctor was called in and he said
Il 1 had kidney trouble and gave me
medicine, Of which took several
bottles. I obtained some relief from
this but / was getting weaker all the
time; could not sleep and suffered so
much pain that my husband and chill
dren had to lift me in and out Of bed.
After this time two friends sent me
word to try Swamp Root, which did,
and am glad to state that the first
dose gave me great relief. After taking
the third dose I was helped into bed
and slept hale os the nigh.
took several bottles of Swamp-Root
and I feel that owe my life to this
wonderful remedy. The two family doc
tors said that I could not live three
months. I would have to be helped in
and out of bed ten to twenty times
every night After taking DR.. Kilmer's
