However their medicine did not bene fit me. One day, I noticed your ad vertlsement, to send name and ad' dress for a sample bottle of Swamp Root. At this time my trouble had reached a serious stage. I sent for the sample bottle and in three days received a small bottle of Swamp-Root which I took according to directions, and by the time I had taken the con tents. I could pass water more freely. I was so pleased with my experiment that I sent my wife to the drug store of W. H. Mllick, Phlllipsburg, Pa., and secured a one-dollar bottle . I contln ued taking Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root until I was entirely cured. Now when ever I feel any pain or soreness after being exposed to bad weather or hard work, I take a dose or two or swamp Root.
