So it is with any article that is sold to the people. It must have genuine merit or no amount of advertising will main tain the demand for the article. For many years we have watched with much interest the remarkable record maintained by Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root, the great Kidney, Liver and Bladder Remedy. From the very beginning the proprietors had so much confidence in it that they invited every one to test it, free of cost, before purchasing. It is a physician's prescription. They have on file thousands of letters received from former sufferers who are now enjoying good health as a result of its use. However, if you wish first to try a sample bottle, address Dr. Kilmer & Co.. Binghamton. N. Y., and mention this paper. They will gladly forward you a sample bottle by mail, absolutely free.
