TO WHOA! IT .MAY CONCKHN:
I had been a BUfferor for over four years from severe attacks pf
rheumatism and kidney trouble, probably contracted by exposure
on hunting expeditions and wading trout streams. I tried many
remedies, tho patent and other kind, but nono of them seemed
to do me any good. I was persuaded by an old and valued friend
to try Swamp-Hoot, and frankly confess that It has benefitted mo
as no other medicine has. I now feel llko myself again. 1 do
not have tho ronstant aches nnd pains which at one time seemed
to mnke life unbearable. It Is a positive benellt In ailments of
this kind. 1 always keep It in the house, as It Is Just as neces
sary as bread and butter.
Very respectfully,
New York. Nov. 17, 189!).
TO WHOM IT MAY CONCKHN:
I wan nil run down In health nnd spirits, from overwork on
the F.xehnngo floor.' I developed nervous neuralgia and also suf
fered from an acute attack of rheumatism.
Of course, I had careful medical attendance, but whllo con
valesclng my own physlclnn himself ordered me to take Swamp
Hoot to build up my nervous Bystem, nnd put my kidneys In
shape. It helped me more than any curatlvo or tonic I ever
used nnd now I always keep 11 In my medlclno chest. With best
wishes for sufferers,

Tho euro for theso troubles Is Dr. Kil
