OLD PRESCRIPTION
 FOR WEAK KIDNEYS

Have you ever stopped to reason why t is that so many products that are ex- tensively advertised, all at once drop out of nGht and arc soon forgotten? The reason is plain-the article did not fulfil the promises of the manufacturer. This applies more particularly to a medicine. A medicinal preparation that has real curative 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 sxampk DY. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, . pupaxztian l have sold for many years and never hesitate to recommend, for In almost every case it shows excellent re- salts, as many of my customers testify. No oAhsr kidney remedy that know o( has % hrge . sale"
 According to Eworn statements and verified testimony of thousands who have ussd the preparation, the success of Dr. K1nm' Swamp Root is due to the fact that 70 many people claim, it fulfills d. most every wish in overcoming kidney, liver and bladder ailments, corrects UT. mary troubles and neutralizes the uric acid which canses rheumatism.
 You may receive sample bottle of Swamp Root by Parcel Post Address Dr. Kilmer & Co.,, Binghamton, N. Y., and enclose ten cents: also mention this paper. Larve and medium size bottles for sale at all drug stores.-Adv.
