An ATTACK OF GRIP
USUALLY LEAVES KIDNEYS
IN WEAKENED CONDITION

Doctors in all parts of the country have
been kept busy with the epidemic of grip
which has visited 30 many homes. The
symptoms of grip this year are often very
distressing and leave the system in rum
down condition, particularly the kidneys
which seem to suffer most, as almost every
victim complains of lame back and urin-
airy troubles which should not be neglect
ed, as these danger signals often lead to
dangerous kidney troubles. Druggists
report a large sale on DR.. Kilmer's
Swamp-Root which so many people say
soon heals and strengthens the kidneys
after an attack of grip. Swamp Root,
being an herbal compound, has a gentle
healing effect on the kidneys, which is al.
most Immediately noticed in most cases
by those who try it. DR.. Kilmer Co.,
Binghamton, N. Y, offer to send a SAM
pie size bottle of Swamp Root, on receipt
of ten cents, to every sufferer who re-
quests it. A trial will convince anyone
who may be in need of it. Regular medi.
UNI and large size bottles, for sale at
all druggists. Be sure to mention this
