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 1t.

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,
