TOOK SWAMP-ROOT UNDER PROTEST Found It Wonderfully Effica- cious in Ptomaine Poison- ing, Malaria and Stomach Trouble. Elbridge C. Hutchinson, who labors at his arduous duties of pipemaker for the Francis Smith Company, was seen at his residence, 432 Seventh street, and when the reporter asked for his opinion of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root he began to extol the remedy in the highest terms. “I may not be competent to judge of | the merits of the Swamp-Root, because I have been using\it for a few daysonly, but I am sure when you hear of tha circumstances under which I com- menced using it you will agree with me that it is indeed a most wonderful remedy. “About four weeks ago I ate some clams and was taken frightfully sick. I called in the doctor and he pro- nounced it a case of ptomaine poison- ing. T kept getting worse and worse and was obliged to call in another doctor. Between the two, I was enabled to get out of bed and go to my labors at the end of three weeks. I worked for a day or two and felt that it would be necessary for me to go back to bed. This would have proved a great hard- ship to me, as I had already lost three weeks' wages and did not know how long I would be obliged to remain in bed. “My wife had a sample bottle of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root in the house, and she urged me to try it. I refused at first, saying that it would not help me, but at her earnest solicitations I took a dose as a last resort. Wonder- ful to relate, I felt better after the medicine had performed its functions, and I kept on taking it. I continued to improve, and after the sample bottle was exhausted I bought a large bottle, I must tell you that I did not take to my bed during all this time, but went to my daily work without any interrup- tion, and I assure you I felt grateful to Dr. Kilmer for his discovery of the astonishing properties of Swamp- Root. “Before my attack of ptomaine poisoning, I suffered a great deal from malaria and stomach trouble. My sys- tem became so run down that I was unable to withstand the effects of the ptomaine poisoning, and so was obliged to take to my bed. I struck the root of my trouble, however, when I began taking Swamp-Root for my Kkidneys, which caused the pains in my back. Thanks to the persistence of my wife, I tried it, and its effects have been al most magical. It took effect at once, and I think it has been a mental stim- ulus as well as a physical restorative. In a few days I have gained in strength, and no longer feel that tired sensation after a day's work which I felt hither- to. “All praise to Dr. Kilmer for the good he is doing, has done, and will do for suffering humanity with' his Swamp-Root, for he has indeed been a life saver to me. Wonderful Cures. Tried It as a Last Resort— Better Than He Has Been for a Decade. John Blaney, a retired capitalist, re- slding at 2721 Sacramento street, was averse to having his name in print, but when asked what Dr. Kilmer's Swamp- Root had done for him he became en- thusiastic in his praises of the medi- Blaney is 77 years of age, and his eye | 18 as clear and his hand as steady as a | man twenty years younger, and he as- cribes his present good condition te | the use of Dr. Kjlmer's Swamp-Root. Here is what he says about his ex- perience in the use of the medicine: | ‘“‘Some years ago I was taken with a | weakness of the bladder and pains in the back, which ran down my right leg | | and were excruciating in their inten- | | sity. I consulted doctor after doctor and took prescription after presecrip- | day, when I felt unusually weak and thought that death was not far away from me, I picked up an advertisement which happened to be lying and read about the qualities mer’s Swamp-Root and what it would do for human iils that flesh heir to.

In a moment of disgust one Incapacitated for Work by Kidney Trouble and Rheumatism, Louis Rosenkranz Gives High Praise to Dr. Kilmer's World-Famous Swamp-Root. Louis Rosenkranz, who is employed with W. W. Montague & Co., was interviewed by a reporter at his residence, 387 Harriet street, and he could not say enough in praise of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root. His constant bending over in his work brought on a serious condition of the kidneys, besides rheumatic attacks, which incapacitated him from work. He had lost so many days and consequent wages that his wife, after much persuasion, induced him to take Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, which she had occasionally used with satisfactory results. The story of his ex- perience is best told in his own words: “I was beginning to feel very much discouraged,” sald Mr. Rosenkranz. “The pains in my back were terrific, and I began to feel the symptoms of that dread disease, rheumatism. It became very monotonous to be obliged to go to bed every once in a while for a few days and then only get a tem- porary rellef from the doctors I called in. My wife began to lose patience with me because debts began to pile up against my little household, and she finally persuaded me to give Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root a trial at least. I did so, and I have used four bottles, with surprisingly good results. The pains have entirely left me, and I can safely say that I have now not a particle of kidney trouble, all on account of using the Swamp-Root, which 1 was at first inclined to deride. It has proved a godsend to my family and myself.” Mrs. Rosenkranz was an attentive listener to her husband's favorable opinions of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, and whén he had finished his com- plimentary observations she added her meed of praise to the curative prop- erties of the Swamp Root.” “I have always kept a bottle of the Swamp-Root in the house,” she said, “and it has never failed me In the hour of necessity. I must relate one par- ticular instance of its beneficlal effects among a great many others. A few days ago I was taken with frightful pains in the stomach after eat- ing some radishes. The pains became most excruclating, and they presently commenced to shoot through every member of my body, and I thought I would go crazy. In my agony I completely forgot the presence of a bottle of Swamp-Root in the house, and my husband was ‘about to go for a doe- tor when I happened to think of it. I made known that I wanted my favor- ite medicine, and my husband gave me a double dose. After an hour, dur- ing which the palns gradually subsided, I passed off into peaceful slumber, and in the morning, when the medicine had acted, I was able to go about my household duties, though naturally I felt very weak from the terrible experience of the night before. I took the Swamp-Root for several days, and since then I have felt perfectly well. I can safely recommend the Swamp-Root for the maladies to which everybody is subject, and I am a witness to the wonderful results obtained in the case of my husband.” SAMPLE BOTTLE FREE ...SWAMP-ROOT...

I feel fresh and vigorous, and ascribe it entirely to my use of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root. I began by taking it three times a day, and now I take it twice a day. I will reduce the dose to one spoonful a day, and feel that it will put me in such a condition that I may soon stop the use of it altogether. I will say, however, that I will always have a bottle handy in case of neces- sity, as I consider it to be better than a hundred doctors all roiled into one. “Put me down as indorsing the vir- tues of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root in a most emphatic manner, because it does everything and more than claimed by its manufacturers.” was was long con- re-
