KIDNEY REMEDY
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

There is no medicine which we handle
that gives such good results as your
Swamp Root. Many of our customers
have informed us at different times that
they have derived great benefit from it,
use.
There was one case in particular which
attracted great deal of attention in this
neighborhood early last Spring, as tho
gentleman's life was despaired of and two
doctors treating him for liver and kidney
trouble were unable to give him any re-
lief. Finally specialist from st. Louis
was called in but failed to do him any
good. / at last induced him to try your
Swamp-Root and after taking it for three
months, he was attending to his business
as usual and is now entirely well. This
case has been the means of creating an
increased demand for your Swamp Root
with US.
Very truly yours,
