DR. KILMER'S SWAMP-ROOT
A GREAT FAMILY MEDICINE
I wish to tell about my condition.
Several years ago I was afflicted with
kidney and bladder troubles. My con

stooped position and my back caused
mo much pain. I wns unable to work

and worn out. I tried other remedies
with no results until I saw your adver
tisement and decided to try Swamp-Root.
After taking several bottles I was re
stored to health; in fact, we keep it in
tho house all the time. I cheerfully re
commend Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root to
others afflicted with kidney and bladder
troubles.

LACK OF MONEY
Was a Godsend In This Cose,
It Is not always that a lack of money
is a benefit.
A lady in Ark. owes hor health to
tho fact ,that v8he could not pay in
advance the fee domanded by a spe
cialist to treat hor for stomach trou
ble. In tolling of her case she saya:
"I had boon treated by four dlfferont
physicians during 10 years of stomach
trouble. Lately I called on another
who told mo ho could not cure mo;
that I had nouralgla of tho stomach.
Then I wont to a specialist who told
mo I had catarrh of tho stomach and
Bald ho could euro mo In four months,
but would havo to have his money
down. I could not ralso tho necessary-sum
and In my extremity I was
lod to quit coffoo and try Postum.
"Tho results havo been magical. I
now Bleep woll at night, something I
had not done for a long time; tho pain
In my stomach Is gone and I am a
dlfferont woman.
Every time I had tried to stop cof
feo Buffered from sovcro hoadaches,
bo I continued to drink It, although J
had reason to beliovo It was injurious
to mo. But when I had Postum to
shift to It was different.
"To my surprise I dU not miss cof
foo whon I bogan to dunk Postum.
"Coffee had been st'-adlly and suroly

what was doing It until I quit and
changed to Postum." Name glvon by
