VITAE ORE.

Some reasons why it is the best to
use Viate Ore:
1t contains all the elements OF life; it
is life itself.
Electricity is life, and Vitae Ore is
electricity.
1t contains no poisonous drugs, such
as arsenic, strychnine, opium, etc.;
neither does it contain alcohol In any
form, for you make it yourself by add
ing water to the Vitae Ore.
1t can be given to an infant without
fear or damage, and under prolonged
use it is perfectly harmless. You do
not have to take barrel of it to find
out its value as medicine. 1t Is
remedy for all seasons of the year; 1t
works equally we'll in cold weather,
warm weather or stormy weather.
Remember that the loss OF electricity
In the system causes disease, therefore
do not permit your system to run
down, but when you feel weak and
tired with an "all gone" feeling, sup
ply your body with the only electrical
preparation known TO manufactures
