OLD PRESCRIPTION
FOR WEAK KIDNEYS

Have you ever stopped to reason
why 1t is that so any products that
are extensively advertised, all at once
drop out of sight and are soon for
gotten? The reason is plain-the
article did not fulfil the promises OF
the manufacturer. This applies more
particularly to a medicine. A medi.
cinal preparation that has real cura-
tive 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 it.
A prominent druggist says Take
for example Dr. Kilmer's Swamp.
Root, a preparation / have sold for
many years and never hesitate to
recommend. for in almost every case
it shows excellent results, as many
of my customers testify. No other
kidney remedy that / know Of has SO
large a sale"
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who
have used the preparation, the sue
cess of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root Is
due 10 the fact, that so many people
claim, 1t fulfils almost every wish in
overcoming kidney, liver and bladder
ailments, corrects urinary troubles
and neutralizes the uric acid which
causes rheumatism.
You may receive a sample bottle
to Swamp-Root by Parcels Post. Ad-
dress DR.. Kilmer G. Co., Binghamton.
N. Y, and enclose ten cents; also
mention the Keokuk Daily Gate City
and Constitution Large and medium
size bottles for sale at all drug stores.
