Important to All Women Readers of This Paper ‘Thousands upon thousands of wo- men have kidney or bladder trouble and newer suspect it. Women’s complaints often prove |to be nothing else but kidney trou ble, or the result of kidney or blad- der disease. If the kidneys are notin a healthy condition, they ray cause the other organs to become diseased. You may suffer pain in the back, headache and loss of ambition. Poor health makes you nervous, irritable and maybe despondent; it} makes any one 60. But hundreds of women claim that Dr. Kilmer'’s Swamp-Root, by restoring health to the kidneys, proved to be just the remedy need- ed to overcome such conditions. Many send for a sample bottle to see what Swamp-Root, the great} kidney, liver and bladder medicine, | will do for them. By enclosing ten | cents to Dr, Kilmer & . Bing- hamton, N.
