kidney disorders are among the most
common diseases that prevail, they
are almost the last recognized by pa.
tents, who usually content them
selves with doctoring the effects
while the original disease may con-.
stantly undermine the system.
If you feel that your kidneys are
the cause of your sickness or run

to health
If you are already convinced that
Swamp-Root is what you need, you
can purchase the regular tifty-cent
