KIDNEY TROUBLE NOT
EASILY RECOGNIZED
Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected.

An examining physician for one
Of the prominent Life Insurance
Companies, in an interview of the
subject. made the astonishing state
ment that one reason why so many
applicants for insurance are rejected
is because kidney troubls is so com
mon to the American people. and
the large majority OF those whose
applications are declined do not even
suspect that they have the disease.
Judging from reports from drug
gists who are constantly in direct
touch with the public, there is one
preparation that has been very sue
cessful in overcoming these condi-
tions. The mild and healing infiu-
ence OF DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root is
soon realized. IL stands the highest
