Unhealthy Kidneys Make Impure Blood. It used to be considered that only urinary and bladder troubles were to be iraceu 10 me moneys, but now modern science prove9 that nearly all diseases have their beginning in the disorder ol these most important organs. The kidneys filter and purify the blood that is their work. Therefore, when vour kidneysare weak or out of order, you can understand how quickly your entire body is affected and how every organ seems to fail to do its duty. If yon are sick or " feel badly," begin taking the great kidney remedy, Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, because as soon as your kidneys are well they will helji all the other organs to health. A trial will convince anyone. If you are sick you can make no mis aire hv firet doetorine vour kidneys. The mild and the extraordinary effect of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy, is soon realized. It stands the highest for its wonderful cures of the most distressing cases, and is sold on its merits by all gnu onc-uuuar bottles. You may have a sample bottle mm. or Swamp-Boot by mail free, also a pamphlet telling yos how to find out if you have kidney oi bladder trouble. Mention this papei when writing to Dr. Kilmer & Co., Bing hamton.N. Y.
