A wineglassful Of the Bitters, at-

to act as a reliable carminative or
preventive. This fine specific for
dyspepsia, both in acute and

cures malarial fever, constipation,
liver complaint, kidney troubles,
nervousness and debility. Per
sons who observe in themselves a
decline of vigor should use this
fine tonic without delay.

And smiles when he grows bolder,
And steals from her kiss.

And spoon like that together,
