KIDNEY TROUBLE
NOT RECOGNIZED

An examining physician for one of the
prominent Life Insurance Companies in
an interview of the subject, made the as
tonishing statement that one reason why
so many applicants for insurance are re-
jected is because kidney trouble is SO COM
mon to the American people, and the
large majority of those whose applica-
tions are declined do not even suspect that
they have the disease.
According to this it would seem that q
medicine for the kidneys, possessing real
healing and curative properties, would be
a blessing to thousands.
DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root, the well
known kidney, liver and bladder remedy,
is remarkably successful in sickness caused
by kidney and bladder troubles. 1t is mild
and gentle in it's action and its healing in
fuence is soon noticed in most cases
There is no other remedy like Swamp
Root. 1t will surely and effectively over
come kidney, liver and bladder troubles
and you can depend upon it. Go to any
drug store and get bottle 80 as to start
treatment today. You will soon see y
marked improvement.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to Dr.
Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y, for a
sample bottle. When writing be sure and
mention this paper.-Adv.
