Women as Well as Men
Are Made Miserable by
Kidney Trouble.
I Kidney trouble preys upon the mind, discourages
and lessens ambition: beauty, vigor
tand cheerfulness soon
disappear when the kidneys
are out of order
or diseased.
Kidney trouble has
become so prevalent ,
that it is not uncommon
for a child to be born
afflicted with weak kidneys.
If the child urinates
too often, if the
urine scalds the flesh or if, when the child
reacnes an age wnen it snouia oe aoie to
control the passage, it is yet afflicted with
bed-wetting, depend upon it. the cause of
the difficulty is kidney trouble, and the first '
step should be towards the treatment of
these important organs. This unpleasant
> trouble is due to a diseased condition of the
kidneys and bladder and not to a habit as
most people suppose.
Women as well as men are made mis*
erable with kidney and bladder trouble,
and both need the same great remedy.
The mild and the immediate effect of
Swamp-Root is soon realized. It is sold
