Great Medicine

cites Favorable Comment.
Kidney and Bladder Ailments
Banished BY Few Doses.

Corn Silk! The same "silk" you
see protruding from the husk of
corn, produces a fipe medicine for
kidney and bladder irregularities,
when compounded with other simple
drugs as in Balmwort Tablets.
Balmwort Tablets contain a pow
erful extract of corn silk, which
quickly relieves the inflammation
and congestion that causes such dis
tress as pains in back and hips,
rheumatic twinges, nervousness,
severe headaches, accompanied by
frequent desire to eliminate, fol-
lowed by scalding, burning sensa-
ton. The patient is compelled to
arise frequently to relieve painful
pressure, even though a scanty flow
follows. The eyes appear "blood-
shot," the sleep is restless, apd
sometimes fever, followed by chifls,
cause great unrest. 1t is unwise to
neglect such symptoms, when a few
doses of Balmwort Tablets can be
taken for relief. Alice Trobough,
5627 South Twenty-fourth street,
Omaha, Neb., writes: Il have used
one tube of your Balmwort Tablets
and find that they are the best /
