An examining physician for one of the

Interview of the subject, made the as.
tonishing statement that one reason why
% many applicants for insurance are re-
jected is because kidney trouble is so COM
mon to the American people, and the large
majority of those whose applications are
declined do not even suspect that they
have the disease.
Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there is one preparation that
has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Rost is
soon realized. It stands the highest for
It's remarkable record of success.
We find that Swamp Root is strictly

wise our readers who feel in need of such
remedy to give it trial. It is on sale
at all drug stores in bottles of two sizes,
medium and large. l...
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to Dr..
