THOUSANDS HAVE KIDNEY
TROUBLE AND NEVER
SUSPECT IT.
Applicants for Insurance
Often Rejected.

Judging from reports from drug
gists who are constantly In direct
touch with the public, there is n
preparation that has been very sue
cessful in overcoming these conditions.
The mild and healing influence of DR..
Kilmer's Swamp-Root is soon realized.
1t stands the highest for it's remark
able record of success.
An examining physician for n OF
the prominent Life Insurance Compa-
MES, in an interview of the subject,
made the astonishing statement that
one reason why SO many applicants
for insurance are rejected is because
kidney trouble is so common to the
American people, and the large ma
jority of those whose applications 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
ana large.
However, if you wish first to test
this great preparation SEM ten cents
to DR.. Kilmer & Co, B~inghamton, N.
Y, for a sample bottle. When writing
be sure and mention this paper.-Ad-
