II You Need a Medicine
You Should Have the Best

Have you ever stopped to reason why
it is that so many products that are ex-
tensively advertised, all at once drop out
of sight and are soon forgotten? The
reason is plain-the article did not fulfill
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
example DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root,
preparation l have sold for many years
and never hesitate to recommend, for IN
almost every case it shows excellent re-
suits, as many of my customers testify.
No other kidney remedy has so large a
sale"
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success of DR..
Kilmer's Swamp-Root is due to the fact,
so many people claim, that it fulflls al
most every wish in overcoming kidney,
liver and bladder ailments; corrects uri-
nary troubles and neutralizes the uric
acid which causes rheumatism.
You may receive sample bottle OF
Swamp Root by Parcels Post. Address
DR.. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. r.,
and enclose ten cents; also mention this
paper. Large and medium size bottles
for sale at all drug stores.-Adv.
