In Weakened Condition

Doctors in all parts of the country have
been kept busy with the epidemic of grip
which has visited so many homes. The
symptoms of grip this year are often very
distressing and leave the system in a run
down condition. particularly the kidneys
which seem to suffer most, as almost every
victim complains of lame bach and urin-
airy troubles which should not be neglect
ed as these danger signals often lead to
dangerous kidney troubles. Druggists
report a large sale on Dr. Kilmer's
Swamp-Root which so many people say
soon heals and strengthens the kidneys
after an attack of grip. Swamp-Root is
a great kidney, liver and bladder remedy,
and, being an herbal compound, has a
gentle healing effect on the kidneys,
which is almost Immediately noticed in
most cases by those who try it. DR..
Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y, offer
to send a sample size bottle Of Swamp
Root, on receipt of ten cents, to every
sufferer who requests it. A trial will con-
vince any one who may be in need of It.
Regular size bottles so cts. and sl.OO.
