The pale, sallow, sunken-cheeked, distressed-looking pe0ple you so often meet are afflicted with “Kidney Com- plexion.” Their kidneys are turning to a pars- nip color. So is their complexmn. They may also have indigestion, or suffer from sleeplessness, rheumatism, neuralgia, brain trouble, nervous ex- haustion, and sometimes the heart acts badly. The cause is weak, unhealthy kid- neys. Usually the sufferer from kidney disease does not find out what the trouble is until it is almost too late, be- cause the first symptoms are so like mild sickness that they do not think they:need a medicine or a doctor until theyfind themselves sick in bed. Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root will build ' up and strengthen their weak and dis- eased kidneys, purify their diseased, kidney-poisoued blood, clear their com- . plexion and soon they will enjoy better health.
