'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 opinton of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root he began to extol the remedy in the highest terms. “I may not be competent to judgs 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 the 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. I 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 funetions, 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 net 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. Kiimer 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 kidneys, 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.” Tried It as a Last Resort— Better Than He Has Been for a Decade. John Blaney, a retired capitalist, re- | siding at 2721 Sacramento street, was | averse to having his name in print, but | when asked what Dr. Kilmer's Swamp- | and were excruciating in their inten- Root had done for him he became en- | sity.

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 MAN AND WIFE ENDORSE SWAMP-RO0T. Incapacitated for Work by Kidney Trouble and Rhaumatism, 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 Harrlet 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,” said 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 relief 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 I 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 when 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 beneficial 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 excruciating, 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 doc- 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 pains 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. 1 can safely recommend the Swamp-Root for the maladles 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...

The Swamp-Root seemed to take hold of the trouble at once, and now all the pains have disappeared. 1 propose to continue its use, however, until I have taken a half dozen more bottles, as I do not want a return of the trouble. “I can say positively that I was cured of a weak and irritable bladder by the use of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp Root, and I am deeply appreciative of my release from what was often an embarrassing and distressing ailment.

Samuel B. Swan is at present en- gineer of the Hayes-street power- house, a position he has occupied for the past twelve years. Mr. Swan be- |gan firing onm engines whem he was | only 14 years of age, and was a loco- motive engineer at the early age of 19 He saw the last spike driven on the Central Pacific Railroad, and he is an enthusiastic advocate of the exceilent curative properties of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root. When a Call reporter in- terviewed him regarding the subject, and requested him to give an honest expression of opinion of the medicine, he quickly replied: “You cannot quote me too strongly as being in favor of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root. Everybody knows that the position of locomotive engineer acts harmfully on the kidneys, on ac- count of the constant jar one is sub- Jected to. That was my case. For years I suffered with pains in the back, superinduced by bad action of my kidneys. Constipation, long con- tinued, made me a very sick man, and I consulted a dozen physicans, none of whom afforded me any relief. I re- member a brother locomotive en- gineer, who knew something of medi- cine, who used to put me up some cap- sules filled with something or other. They did me somie good, but it was not lasting. “Things with me kept getting from bad to worse, and the pains in my back became unbearable, when my attention was attracted to the advertisements of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root. I made up my mind that I would give it a fair test, and when I undertake to do any- thing I generally carry it through. I therefore resolved to take ten bottles, and‘if no good effects resulted I would discontinue using it. My faith in it may be understood when I tell you that I have used fourteen bottles, and I can truthfully say that it has done me a world of good, and I am a better man to-day than I ever was in my life. I feel fresh and vigorous, and ascribe it entirely to my use of Dr. Kilmer's 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 rolled 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.”
