older residents as having always

many years the deceased was
stage contractor on the Cambra and

THE KIDNEY COMPLEXION.
The nale. fallow sunken cheeked,
istressed looking people you so often
meet are afflicted with "Kidney
Complexion."
Their kidneys are turning to a par
snip color. & j 13 their complexion.
Ihey may also have indigesiion, or
suffer from sleeplessness, rheumatism,
neuralgia, brain trouble, nervous
exhaustion and sometimes the heart
acts badly.
The cause is weak, unhealthy
kidneys.
Usually the sufferer fiom kidney dis
ease does not find out what the trouble
is until it is almost too late, because
the first symptoms are so like mild
sickness that they do not think they
need a medicine or a doctor until
they find themselves sick in bed.
Dr. Kilmer s Swamp Root will build
up and strengthen their weak ana
diseased kidneys, purify theirdiseased,
kidney-poisoned blood, clear their
complexion and soon they enjoy bet

You can get the regular cizes at the
drug store at fifty cents and one dollar,
or you may first prove for yourself the
wonderful virtues of this great discov
ery, Swamp Root, by sending your
