A WARNIN6J0 MANY
Some Interesting Facts Regarding
Health statistics,
Few people realize to what extent their
health depends upon the condition of the
kidneys.
The physician In nearly all cases of
serious Illness, makes a chemical analysis
of tho patient's urine. He knows that
unless the kidneys are doing their work
properly, the other organs cannot be
brought back to health and strength.
When the kidneys are neglected or
abused In any way, serious results are
sure to follow. According to health sta
tistics, Brlght's disease which Is really
an advanced form of kidney trouble,
caused nearly ten thousand deaths In
1910, In the state of New York alone.
Therefore, It behooves us t pay more
attention to the health of these most Im
portant organs.
An Ideal herbal compound that has had
remarkable success as a kidney remedy
Is Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the great
Kidney, Liver ant Bladder Remedy.
The mild and healing Influence of this
preparation Is soon realized. It stands
the highest for Its remarkable record of
cures.
If you feel that, your kidneys require
attention, and wish a sample bottle, write
lo Dr. Kilmer & Co., Blnghamton, N. V.
Mention this paper and they will gladly
forward' It to you absolutely free, by mall.
Swamp-Root Is sqld by every druggist
