WHY DRUGGISTS RECOMMEND
/ SWAMP ROOT

For many years druggists have watched
with much interest the remarkable record
maintained by Dr. Kilmer's Swamp Root,
the great kidney, liver and bladder medi-
cine.
1t is a physicians prescription.
Swamp-Root is a strengthening medi-
cine. It helps the kidneys, liver and blad-
der do the work nature intended they
should do. =
Swamp-Root has stood the test of years.
It is sold by all druggists on it's merit
and it should help you. No other kidney
medicine has 80 many friends.
Be sure to get Swamp-Root and start
treatment at once.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to DR..
Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y, for a
sample bottle. When writing be sure and
mention this paper Advertisement.
