If You Need a Medicine
You Should .Have the Best
Havo you ever utoppcd to reason why
it is that so many products that arc ex
tensively advertised, all at once drop out
of sight nnd aro soon forgotten? Tho
reason is plain tho article did not fulfill
the promises of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to a medicme.
A medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost fcIU itself, as liko
an endless chain system the remedy i
recommended by those who have been
benefited to those who nre in nerd of it.
A prominent druggist fays, "Take for
example a Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, a
preparation I hart sold for many years
and never hesitate to recommend, for in
almost every caso it shows excellent re
suite, ns mnny of my customers testify.
No other kidney remedy has so large a
sale."
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who hav
used the preparation, the success of Dr.
Kilmer's Rwamp-Kooti is due to tho fact,
so many people claim, that it fulfills al
most every wish in overcoming kidney,
liver and bladder ailments, corrects uri
nary troubles and neutralizes the uric add
which causes rheumatism.
You may receive n sample bottlo of
Swamp-Root by parcel post. Address Dr.
Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y., and
enclose ten cents; also mention this paper.
