Swamp-Root a Fine Medicine

Thousands upon thousands of women
have kidney or bladder trouble and never
suspect it.
Women's complaints often prove to be
nothing else but kidney trouble, or the
result of kidney or bladder disease.
II 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, irritable
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 condi-
tons.
Many rend for a sample bottle TO see
what Swamp Root, the great kidney, liver
md bladder medicine will do for them.
BY enclosing ten cents to DIR. Kilmer
o., Binghamton, N. Y, you may receive
ample size bottle by parcel post. You
can purchase medium and large size bottles
at all drug stores.-Advertisene
