THOUSANDS HAVE KIDNEY
TROUBLE AND NEVER
SUSPECT IT
Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected.
Judging from reports from drug
gists who are constantly in direct.
I touch with the public, there Is one
preparation that has been very suc
cessful in overcoming these condi
tions. The mild and healing influ
oncc of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root is
j soon realized. It stands the highest
for its remarkable record of suc
coss.
An examining physician for one
of the prominent Life Insurance
Companies, in an interview of the
subject, made the astonishing state
ment that one reason why bo many
applicants for insurance are rejected
is because kidney trouble is so com-'
moil to the American people, and,
the large majority of those whoso'
applications ar^ declined do not '
even suspect that they have the!
dlsear.e. Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root I
is on sale at all drug stores in bot
tles of two si/.es, medium and large.!
However, if you Wish first to test
this great preparation send ten
cents to Dr. Kilmer & Co., Bing
hamton, N. Y., for a sample bottle.
When writing be sure and mention
this paper. (advertisement)
