You naturally feel secure when you
know that the medicine you are about to
take is absolutely pure and contains no
harmful or habit producing drugs.
Such medicine is DR.. Kilmer's Swamp

The same standard of purity, strength
and excellence is maintained in every
bottle of Swamp-Root.
Ito is scientifically compounded from
vegetable herbs.
II is not a stimulant and is taken in
teaspoonful doses.
II is not recommended for everything.
1t is natures great helper in relieving

A sworn statement of purity is with
every bottle of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp
