If You Need a Medicine
You Should Have the Best
Have you ever stopped .to reason
why it is that so many products that
are extensively advertised all at once
drop out of sight and are soon for-
gotten T Tbe reason is plsin the
article did not fulfill the promises of
the manufacturer. This applies more
particularly to a medicine. A medic-
inal preparation that has real curative
value almost sells itself as like an
endless ehain system the remedy is
recommended by those who have been
benefited to those who are in need
of It .
A prominent druggist says 'Take
for example Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-
Root a preparation I have sold for
many yeara and never hesitate to rec-
ommend for in almost every case it
shows excellent results as many of
my customers testify. No other kid-
ney remedy haa so large a sale."
Accordiag to sworn statementa and
verified testimony of thousanda who
have used the nreDaration. tbe me-
cesa of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Roof is
uuv w ui irci po many people claim
that it fulfills almost every wish In
