Important to all Women
Readers of this Paper.
Thousands upon thousands of
women have kidney or bladder
trouble and never suspect It.
Women's complaints often prove
to be nothing else but kidney
trouble, or the result of kidney or
bladder disease.
If the kidneys are not In h
healthy condition, they may cause
the other organs to become diseased
You may suffer pain In the back,
headache and loss of ambition.
Poor health makes you norvous,
Irritable and may bo despondent;
It makes any one so.
Itut hundreds of women claim
that Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, by
restoring health to the kidneys,
proved to be Just the remedy needed
to overcome such conditions.
Many send for a sample bottle to
see what Swamp-Root, the great
kidney, liver and bladder medicine
will do for them. By enclosing ten
cents to Dr. Kilmer & Co., Bing
hamton, N. Y., you may receive
sample size bottle by Parcel Post.
You can purchase medium and large
size bottles at all drug stores,
