The cause is weak, unhealthy kid‘-
neys. . .;-
Usually the sufferer from kidney
disease does not find out what the
trouble is until it isalmost 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-
kidney-poisoncd blood, clear their com-
plexion and soon they will enjoy better
health. .. . . .
You can get the regular sizes at the
drug store. at fifty cents and one dol-

the wonderful virtues of this great dis-
covery, Swamp-Root, by sending your
