Thousands Have Kidney
Trouble and Never
Suspect It
Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected.

Judging from reports from drugyists
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there is one preparation that
has been very successful in overcomins
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root b
soon realized. 1t stands the highest for
its remarkable record of success.
An examining physician for one Of the
prominent Life Insurance Companies, ta
an interview on the subject, made the ~
tonishing statement that one reason why
so many applicants for insurance arc To
jected is because kidney trouble Is %
common to the American people, and the
large majority of those whose applica-
tions are declined do not even suspect
that they have the disease. 1t is on sale
at all drug stores in bottles of two sizes,
medium and large.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to Dr..
Kilmer & Co.. Binshamton, N. Y. for =
sample b1ttle. When writing be sure and
mention this paper.-Adv.
