With a Lame Back?
Kidney Trouble Hakes You MiseraUe.
Almost everyone knows of Dr. Kilmer's
S-.vaiup-Koot, tlic great kidney, liver and
Diuiluer remedy, be.
cause of iis remark,
able liea'.lU restoring
properties. Swamp.
, Hoot fulfills almost
everv wish in m-i-r-
coining rheumatism,
I'l paiu lu the back, kid
l i nevs, liver, bladder
tj and every part of the
urinary passage. It
corrects inability to
hold water and scalding pain in passing it .
or bad effects following use of liquor, wine
or beer, and overcomes that unpleasant
necessity of being compelled to go often
through the day, and to get up many
times duriuc; the night.
Swamp-Root is not recommended for
everything but if j'ou have kidney, liver
or bladder trouble, it will be found just
the remedy you need. It has been thor
oughly test ed in private practice, aud has
proved so successful that a special ar
rangement has been made by which all
readers of tins paper, who have not al
ready tried it, may have a sample bottle
sent free by mail, also a book telling
more about Swamp-Root, and how to
miaoui u you uave mo
ney or bladder trouble.
