A Mrs A E Briggs of Eldred Pennsylvania writes a sworn testimonial from May 25 1942 praising Swamp Root for kidney and bladder troubles. She reports long confinement and pain prior to use, but after taking Swamp Root her condition improved enough to continue work, and she offers to publish the letter.
The piece criticizes reactionary Republicans and conservative Democrats aligning to legalize corrupt election practices. It contrasts Progressive calls for public- welfare oriented reform with staunch opposition from lay political machines aided by Wall Street. It notes debates over initiative recall and judicial recalls, urging a shift toward industrial and social justice for workers.
