Something to Know.

1t may be worth something TO know
that the verv best medicine for restor-
ing the tired out nervous system to a
healthy vigor is Electric Bitters. This
medicine is purely vegetable, acts by
giving tone to the nerve centres in the
stomach, gently stimulates the Liver
and Kidneys, and aids these organs in
throwing off impurities in the blood.
Electric Bitters improves the appetite,
aids digestion, and Is pronounced by
those who have tried il as the very
best blood purifier and nerve tonic.
Try It, Sold for soc or $500 per bottle
at c. Il. Renfro's drug store.
