Y.: Gentlemen In justice to you, I feel it is my duty to send you an acknowledgment of the receipt of the sample bottle of Swamp-Root you so kindly sent me. I had been out of health for the past five years with kidney and bladder trduble. Had our best physicians prescribe for me. They would relieve me for the time being, but the old complaint would in a short time return again. I sent for a sample bottle of Swamp-Root, and I found it did me a world of good. Since then I have taken eight small bot tles bought at my drug store, and I consider myself perfectly cured. It seemed as though my back would break in two after stooping. I do not have the smarting and irritation, nor do I have to get up during the night to urinate, as I formerly did three or four times a night, but now sleep the sleep of peace. My back is all right again, and in every way I am a new man. Two of my brofher officers are still using Swamp-Root. They, like myself, cannot say too much in praise of it. It is a boon to mankind. We recommend it to all who are suffering from kidney and bladder diseases. My brother officers (whose signatures accompany this letter), as well as myself, thank you for the blessing you have brought to the human race in the compounding of Swamp-Root. We remain, yours very truly, JAMES COOK. HUGH E. BOYLE. Officers of the 58th Police Precinct, Greater New York. JOHN J. BODKIN. If you are sick or "feel badly," begin taking the famous new discovery.

Kidney trouble irritates the nerves, mnkeo vou dizzy, restless, sleepless and Irritable. Makes you pass water often during the day and obliges you to get up many times during the night. Unhealthy kidneys causa rheumatism, gravel, catarrh of the bladder, pain or dull ache in the back. Joints and muscles: make your head ache and back ache, cause indigestion, stomach and liver trouble: you get a sallow, yellow complexion, makes you feel as though you had heart trouble; you may have plenty of ambition, but no strength; get weak and waste away. Swamp-Root is pleasant to take and Is used In the leading hospitals, recommended by phyalclans In their private practice, and is taken by doctors themselves, because they recognize in it the greatest and most successful remedy that science has ever been able to compound. If you are already convinced that Swamp-Root is what you need, you can purchase the regular fifty-cent and one-dollar . size bottles at the drug stores every where. Don't make any mistake, but remember the name Swamp-Root Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, and the address, Binghamton. X. T., on every bottle. EDITORIAL NOTICE.
