Tiu- reason is plain—the article did not fr.lhil the promises of the manu facturer. This applies more particular ly to a medicine. A medicinal prepara tion that has real curative value al most sells Itself, as like an endless chain sysitem the remedy is recom- r.iended by those who have bee'n cured. ^ ' th.ae vcl: > are in need of it. Ir. an ir.'ewiew on the subject a iTominent local drucgist says “Take for example Dr. Kilmer s Swamp-Root, a preparation I have sold for many years and never hesitate to recom- ir.fnd. ft'r in al’.nost every case it sh.ov.s results, as many of my cus- :o!nors te^nfy. No other kidney reme dy tha: I know of has so large a sale.” The success of Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp- Root is due to the fact that It fulfills e\ ory wish in overcoming kidney, liv er :;Hd bladder diseases, corrects uri- V tVi'ubles and neutralizes the uric a. id wr.ioh causes rheumatism. .\ f;e' trial boitle will be sent by niai’. absolutely free.
