THOUSANDS HAVE KIDNEY
TROUBLE and never
SUSPECT IT.
Applicants for Insurance often
Rejected

Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there is one preparation
that has been very successful in over
coming these conditions. The mild and
healing influence of DR.. Kilmer's
Swamp-Root is soon realized. 1t
stands the highest for its remarkable
record of success.
An examining physician for one of
the prominent Life Insurance Compan-
les, in an interview of the subject,
made the astonishing statement that
one reason why so many applicants for
insurance are rejected Is because kid
ney trouble Is so common to the Amer
lean people,, and the. large majority OF
those whose applications are declined
do not even suspect that they have the
disease. 1t is on sale at all drug stores
in bottles of two sizes, medium and
, large.
However. IL you wish first to test
this great preparation send ten cents
