GENTLEjMEN: Some two years ago I was so run down that I lacked strength., had no appetite and could not sleep nights. Sometimes it seemed as though my back would break in two after stooping. I had to get up many times during the night to urinate and go often through the day. After having the best physicians prescribe for me without relief, I decided from my s3rraptoms that the medicine I needed was Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the; great kidney, liver and bladder remedy. After trying a sam ple bottle with good results, I purchased six bottles of the regular size, and after taking them was en tirely cured. 'Swamp Root is a wonderful remedy when a man is not feeling "well, after exposure and loss of sleep and irregular meals. It is also a great medicine to tone up a man's system. Other mem bers of the Poliee force are using and recommending Swamp-Root. They, like myself, cannot say too much in praise of this great remedy. The Officers (whose signatures accompany this letter), as well as myself, thank you for the good you haveaccomplished in the compounding of Swamp-Root.
