Readers Of this Paper

Thousands upon thousands of women
have kidney or bladder trouble ard never
suspect it.
Women's complaints often prove to be
nothing else but kidney trouble, or the
result of kidney or bladder disease,
If the kidneys are not in healthy con-
dition, they may cause the other organs
to become diseased.
You may suffer pain in the back, head
ache and loss of ambition.
Poor health makes you nervous, irrlta-
BILE and may be respondent; it makes any
one so.
But hundreds of women claim that DR..
Kilmer's Swamp-Root, by restoring
health to the kidneys, proved to be just
the remedy needed to overcome such
conditions.
Many send sus sample bottle to see what
swamp-Root, the great kidney, liver and

enclosing ten cents to DR.. Kilmer & Co.,
