KIDNEY TROUBLE NOT
EASILY RECOGNIZED
Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected.

An examining physician for Que OF
the prominent Life Insurance Com
panies. in an interview OF the subject.
made tho astonishing statement that
one reason why so many applicants for
insurance are rejected is because Kid
hcy trouble is SO common 10 the Amer
lean people. and the large majority OF
those whose applications arc declined
DO not even suspect that they have the
disease.
Judging from reports from druggists
who arc constantly in direct touch with
the public, there is one preparation tha,
has been very successful in overcom-
ing these conditions. The mild and
healing influence OF DR.. kilmer's
