hey bruce, this is what come up first if you google "dr kilmer's swamp root" http://www.bottlebooks.com/drkilmer.htm By 1895 the company had a line of 18 different medicines: Of these the most common was the Swamp Root. The bottle of which has an embossed label area in the shape of a kidney. The embossing reads: " THE GREAT / DR. / KILMER’S / SWAMP / ROOT / KIDNEY / LIVER & . BLADDER / CURE / SPECIFIC". The bottle was made in a sample, small and large size. Only the large has the embossed kidney. Sometime after the passage of the Food and Drug Act of 1906, the word "CURE" was dropped in favor of the word, "REMEDY". Even later, the embossing was dropped but the embossed kidney panel was retained. Believe it or not one can still buy "Swamp Root" today complete with a portrait of Andral S. Kilmer. so it appears that you can still by swamp root today! Yum!n

To: [email protected] Date: Sunday, 26 September, 2010, 13:53 Before it closes, I wanted to see if any here has either tried any Swamp Root (from Dr. Kilmer or anyone else), or even just knows what it is, or what it is taken for. 6b170 DR. KILMER'S SWAMP ROOT glass slide '20s The glass slide says that "Dr. Kilmers Swamp-Root Makes Friends For Us", and I am not clear what that means! If I had to guess, I would think that among MoPo members, it would likely be Tom Martin, Allen Day or Greg Douglas who might have a personal relationship with Swamp Root, but I welcome input from anyone -- Bruce Hershenson and the other 28 members of the eMoviePoster.com team P.O.
