Thousands Have Kidney
Trouble and Never
Suspect It
Applicants for Insurance Should
Use Swamp-Root
Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there is one preparation that
has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root is
soon realized. It stands the highest for
its •remarkable record of success.
An examining physician for one of the
prominent Life insurance Companies, in
an interview of the subject, made the as-
tonishing statement that one reason why
so many applicants for insurance are re-
jected is because kidney trouble is so
common to the American people, and the
large majority 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 and large.
TTowever, if you wish first to test this
great preparation, send ten ecnts to Dr.
Kilmer & Co., Ringhamton, N. Y.t for a
sample bottle. When writing, be sure
and mention this paper.—Advertisement.
