Almost every one, from personal experience, knows that the effects of any kind of severe physical strain are felt, first of all, ir the small of the back—in other words, in those Vital Organs, the Kidneys. This is as true in the case of the very powerful man at it is with one of less strength, and it is especially true whenever the kidneys are weak. Weak and unhealthy kidneys are respon. sible for more sickness and suffering than any other disease; therefore, when, through neglect or other causes, kidney trouble is per- mitted to continue, /a/a/ results are sure to follow. SWAMP-ROOT STRENGTHENS THE KIDNEYS, and through them helps all the other organs. When this wonderful medical dis. _ covery can'put the human body into condition to stand the hard work and the tremendous strain of the motormen, it is easy to under. ~ stand how it has cured thousands upon thousands in the more ordinary and less strenuous walks of life. a No matter how many doctors you have tried—no matter how much money you have spent on other medicines—-you really owe if to yourself and to your family to at least give Swamp-Root atrial.
