WHAT THE DOCTOR KNOWS.
Kidneys Must BE Right to Insure
Health.

Few people realize to what extent
their health depends upon the condi.
ton Of the kidneys.
The physician In nearly all cases
OF serious illness, makes a chemical
analysis Of the patients urine. He
knows that unless the kidneys are do.
ing their work properly, the other
organs cannot readily be brought
back to health and strength.
When the kidneys are neglected OF
abused in any way, serious results
are sure to follow. According to
health statistics, Bright's disease
which is really an advanced form of
kidney trouble, caused nearly ten
thousand deaths in one year in the
Stute Of New York alone. Therefore
1T 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 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
statements and verified testimony OF
those who have used the remedy.
When your kidneys require atten-
ton, get Swamp-Root at once from
any pharmacy. 1t is sold by every
druggist IN bottles Of two sizes
SOC. and $1.0O.
However, If you wish first to test
this great preparation send ten cents
to DR.. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton
n. Y, for sample bottle. When
writing be sure and mention the Wal
