Thousands Have Kidney
Trouble and Never
Suspect It
Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected.
Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there is one preparation that
baa been very successful in overcoming
theie conditions. The mild and healing
influence of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root is
toon realized. It stands the highest for
Its remarkable record of succeis.
An examining physician for one of the
prominent Life Insurance Companies, in
an interview on the subject, made the as
tonishing statement that one reason why
so many applicants for insurance are re
jected is became kidney trouble is so
common to the American, people, and the
large majority of thote whose applica
tions are declined do not even suspect
that they have the disease. It is on sale
at all drug stores in bottles of two sizes,
njedium and large.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to Dr.
Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y., for a
janiple bottle. When writing be sure and
