The transition from long, lingering
and painful sickness to robust health
marks an epoch in the life of the indi-
vidual. Such a remarkable event is
treasured in the memory and the agen-
cy whereby the good health has been
attained is gratefully blessed, Hence
it is that so much is heard in praise of
Electric Bitters. So many feel they
owe their restoration to health to the
use of the Great Alternative and Tonic.
If you are troubled with any disease
of the kidneys, liver or stomach, of
long or short standing, you will surely
find relief by use of Electric Bitters.

Drunkenness a Disprace.

The State Liquor Dealers associa-
tion held its first session at Rochester,
NY. AS many as 800 delegates were
in attendance. After welcoming the
delegates to Rochester, Mayor Parsons
concluded his address as follows: "All
men agree that drunkenness is not only
a disgrace but crime, and it is pun
ished as such by all civilized coun-
tries. l do not intend to argue to this
convention of representative dealers
that it is the duty of all good citizens
to aid in carrying out this wise law.
l, as chief magistrate of this city,
however, may perhaps take the liberty
to suggest that it is eminently proper
for you in your deliberations to advo-
cate such measures as will aid in main
tanning good order and sobriety every
where. Remember in your delibera-
tions that you are not only delegates to
the liquor dealers convention, but
that you are loyal citizens of this
glorious commonwealth, the Empire
State"
