England is at Prayer

A great wave of prayer is passing
over England, in response to the re-

In London there have been remark

KIDNEY TROUBLE NOT
EASILY RECOGNIZED.
Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected.

An examining physician for one of
the prominent Life Insurance Com
panies, in an interview of the subject.
made the astonishing statement that
one reason why so many applicants
for insurance are rejected is because
kidney trouble is SO common to the
American people, and the large ma
iority OF those whose applications are
declined do not even suspect that
they have the disease.
Judging from reports from drug
gists who are constantly in direct
touch with the public, there is one
preparation that has been very sue
cessful in overcoming these condi-
tions. The mild and healing influence
of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root is soon
realized. 1t stands the highest for its
remarkable record of success.

ly an herbal compound and we would
advise our readers who feel in need of
such remedy to give it trial. 1t
