Fred Miller, of Irving, ILL.,, writes
that he had a severe kidney trouble for
many years, with severe pains in his
back and also that his bladder was af
fected. He tried many SO called kid

About a year ago he began the use of
Electric Bitters and found relief at
once. Electric Bitters is especially
adapted to cure all kidney and liver
troubles and often gives instant relief.
One trial will prove our statement.

There seems to be no reason why verses

sordidness of their view Of life, the
baseness Of their ideals; the insincerity
Of their enthusiasm, the total absence
of healthy passion or indignation and
