I wish to in lorin you of the great benefit I have derived from the use ol Swamp-Root. I had been a suf ferer for moro than twenty years Hom kid lie J and liver trouble and was ali?os!, constantly treated by Hie most eminent physicians who could only give me temporary rollet*. I bad been 111 bed ten weeks when 1 began the use of Swamp Root. In side of twenty-lour hours I could see that i had been greatly benefited. I ?continued lo uso Swamp-Root until I had used several bottles, when 1 really fell that my old trouble was completely cured and I am positivo that any person suffering with kid ney or liver trouble can be cured by thc uso of this preparation. 1 am now in tho host of health better than I have been for ten years or more. I do not know how to ex press myself as strongly as I desire, in favor of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp Root, as I am sure thal il saved my life and that my good health is due entirely to this great remedy. I heartily recommend it to every suf ferer, and am confident they can be benefited as I 'have been, lt ls a pleasure for me, gentlemen, to hand you this recommendation. MRS. H. J. PRICE, Cloe.
