All the blood in your body passes through yrour kidneys once every three minutes. The kidneys are your blood purifiers^ they fil? ter out ihe waste or impurities in the blood. If they are sick or out of order, they fail to do their work. Pains, aches and rheu? matism come from ex? cess of uric acid in the blood, due to neglected kidney trouble. Kidney trouble causes quick or unsteady heart beats, and makes one feel as though they had heart trouble, because the heart is over-working in pumping thick, kidney poisoned blood through veins and arteries. It used to be considered that only urinary troubles were to be traced to the kidneys, but now modern science proves that nearly all constitutional diseases have their begin? ning in kidney trouble. If you are sick you can make no mistake by first doctoring your kidneys. The mild and the extraordinary effect of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy is soon realized. It stands the highest for its wonderful cures of the most distressing cases and is sold on its merits by all druggists in fifty- ( cent and one-dollar siz? es.
