Don't Neglect Kidneys
Swamp Root, Or. KiImer'S Prescrip-
tiOn, OvercOmes Kidney Trouble

It IL now conceded by physicians thai
the kidneys should have more attention
as they control the other organs to re-
mArkable degree and do tremendous
amount Of work in removing the poisons
and waste matter from the system by
hltering the blood.
The kidneys should receive some as
sistance when needed. We take less ex-
ercise, 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,
rheumatism, maybe weak or irregular
heart action, warns you that your kid
neya require help immediately TO avoid
more serious trouble.
An ideal herbal compound that has had
most remarkable success as a kidney and
bladder remedy is DIR. Kilmer's Swamp
Root. There is nothing else like IL. Il
