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 ID
soon realized. 1t stands the highest for
its 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
10 many applicants for insurance are re-
jected is because kidney trouble is 20
common to the American people, and the
large majority of those whose applica-
tiens are declined do not even suspect
that they have the disease.
DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root is on sale
ut 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 4 Co., Bingham
ton, N. Y, for a sample bottle. When
writing be sure and mention this paper.
