Don't Neglect Kidneys
Swamp Root, DR.. Kilmer'S PreScrip-

1t is now conceded by physicians that
the kidneys should nave more attention
as they control the other organs to q re-
markable degree and do a tremendous
amount of work in removing the poisons
and waste matter from the system by
fltering the blood.
The kidneys should receive SOM as
sistance when needed. We take less ex-
%ercise, drink less water and often eat
more rich, heavy food, thereby forcing
the kidneys 10 do more work than nature
intended. Evidence Of kidney trouble,
such as lame back, annoying bladder
troubles, smarting or burning, brick
lust or sediment, sallow 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 a kidney and
bladder remedy is DR.. Kilmer's Swamp
