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

Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there is one preparation that
has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root il
soon realized. It stands the highest for
ito remarkable record of success.
An examining physician for one Of the
prominent Life Insurance Companies, in
an interview on the subject, made the as
tonishing statement that one reason why
60 many applicants for insurance are re-
lected il because kidney trouble is 80
common to the American people, and the
large majority of those whose applica.
tons are declined do not even suspect
that they have the disease.
Dr.: Kilmer's Swamp Root is on sale
at all drug stores in bottles of two sizes
medium and large. However, if you wish
hrst to test this great preparation send
ten cents to DR.. Kilmer & Co., Bingham
ton, N. Y, for a sample bottle. When
writing be sure and mention this paper.

The fact that the head had been
