Swamp " Root fulfills almost every wish in over coming rheumatism, I pain in the back, kid ,"" I neys, liver, bladder -?^=?\lj and every part of the urinary passage.

Swamp-Root is not recommended for everything but if you have^kidney, liver or bladder trouble, it will be found just the remedy yon need. It has been thor oughly tested in private practice, and has proved so successful that a special ar rangement has been made by which all reade i s of this paper, who have not al ready tried it, may have a sample bottle sent free by mail, also a book telling more about Swamp-Root, and how to findontif yon have kid ney or bladder trouble.
