more rapidly than the country boys
do. They are just as hardy, too, and

OLD PRESCRIPTION
FOR WEAK KIDNEYS

Have you ever stopped to reason why
it is that so many products that are ex-
tensively advertised, all at once drop out
of sight and are soon forgotten? The
reason Is p1ain-the article did not fulfil
the promises of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to a medicine.
medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as like
an endless chain system the remedy is
recommended by those who have been
benefited, to those who are In need OF 1t.
A prominent druggist says, Take for
example Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, a
preparation I have sold for many years
and never hesitate to recommend, for IN
almost every case it shows excellent re
suits, as many of my customers testify.
No other kidney remedy that l know OF
has SO large a sale"
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success of DIR.
Kilmers' Swamp-Root is due to the fact
that, SO many people claim, it fulhls al
most every wish in overcoming kidney,
liver and bladder ailments, corrects ur-
mary troubles and neutraiizes the uric
acid which causes rheumatism

Swamp-Root by Parcel Post. Address
