There is a disease prevailing in this
country most dangerous because so decep-
tive. Many sudden deaths are caused by
it--heart disease, pneumonia, heart failure
or apoplexy are often the result of kidney
dtsease. If kidney trouble is allowed to ad-
vance the kidney-poisoned blood will attack
the vital organs, or the kidneys themselves
break down and waste away cell by cell.
Then the richness of the blood--the albumen
~leaks out and the sufferer has Bright's
Disease, the worst form of kidney trouble.
Dr. Kllmer e Swamp.Root the new dis-
covery is the true specific for kidney, bladder
and urinary troubles. It has cured thousands
of apparently hopeless cases, after all other
efforts have failed. At druggists tn fifty-cent
and dollar sizes. A sample bottle sent free
by mall, also a book telling about Swamp-
Root and its wonderful cures. Address
