Unhealthy Kidneys Make Impure Blood. ' .

"l[ I Pains, achesandrheuI f J \ matism come from excess ?' uric acid in the v) blood, due to neglected c kidney trouble. Kidney trouble causes quick or unsteady heart beats, and makes one feel as though \ they had heart trouble, because the heart Is over-working in pumping thick, kidneypoisoned blood through veins and arteries. It used to be considered that only urinary troubles were to be traced to the kidneys, but now modern science proves that nearly all constitutional diseases have their beginning in kidney trouble. If you are sick you can make no mistake I by first doctoring your 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 ?!! druggists in fiftycent and one-dollar sir- CH.M '.illtttrjj es.
