WOMEN need SWhMp-ROOT

Thousands of women have kidney and
bladder trouble and never suspect it.
Womens complaints often prove to be
nothing else but kidney trouble, or the
result of kidney or bladder disease.
If the kidneys are not in a healthy
condition, they may cause the other or
gans to become diseased.
Pain in the back, headache, loss of am
bition, nervousness, are often times symp-
toms of kidney trouble.
Don't delay starting treatment. DR..
