Don't Neglect Kidneys
Swamp Root, Dr.. Kilmer's Prescrip-
ton, 0yerc0meS Kidney Trouble

1t is now conceded by physicians that
the kidneys should have more attention
as they control the other organss to = re-
markable degree and do a tremendous
amount of work in removing the poisons
and waste matter from the system by
tiltering the blood.
The kidneys should receive some as
sistance when needed. We take less exz
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, salow complexion,
rheumatism. maybe weak or irregular
heart action, warns you that your kid
neys require help Immediately to avoid
more serious trouble.
An ideal herbal compound that has had
most remarkable success as kidney and
bladder remedy Is Dir. kilmer's Swamp
Root. There is nothing else like it. 1t
IS DIR. kllmer's prescription used in pri-
vate practice and 1t is sure to benefit you
