Few people realize to what extent j their health depends upon the condi- ' tion of the kidneys. The physician in nearly all cases of j serious illness, makes "a chemical an-j ulysis of the patient's urine. He knows ! that unless the kidneys are doing their j work properly, the other organs can- ' not readily be brought back to health ami strength. When the kidneys are neglected or abused in any way, serious re- J suits are sure to follow. According to health statistics, Bright's Disease, which is really an advanced form of kidney trouble, caused nearly ten thousand deaths in one year, in the State of New York alone. Therefore, < it i£ particularly necessary to pay i more attention to the health of these ! important organs. An ideal herbal compound that has i had remarkable success as a kidney I remedy is Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, j the great kidney, liver and bladder; remedy. The mild and healing influence of \ this preparation, in most cases, is j soon realized, according to sworn ' statements and verified testimony of those who have used the remedy. When your kidneys require atten tion, get Swamp-Root at once from any pharmacy. It is sold by every druggist in bottles of two sizes—soc and SI.OO. However, if you wish first to test this great preparation send ten cents to Dr. Kilmer & Co., Blnghamton, N. Y„ for a sample bottle. When writ ing be sure and mention the Harris burg Daily Telegraph.
