quickly your entire body Is affected, and
how every organ seems to fall to do its
duty.
If you are sick or "feel badly." begin
taking the famous new discovery, Dr.
Kilmer's Swamp-Root, because as soon
as your kidneys are well they will help
all the other organs to health. A trial
will convince anyone.
