The transition from long, lingering
and painful sickness to robust health
marks an epoch in the life of the indivi-
dual. Such remarkable event is treas
ured in the memory and the agency
whereby the good health has been at

that SO much is heard in praise of Elec-
trio Bitters. So many feel they owe
their restoration to health. to the use of
the Great Alternative and Tonic. If you

and nobody is more sacredly pledged

assist each other, and give their aid
and support on the side Of the law
every time. This the judge and jury
could bring about more effectuafly by
examining the subordinate officers and
their returns as is done In many
