the tired-out nervous system to healthy
vigor is Electric Bitters. This medicine

gently stimulates the liver and kidneys
and aids these organs in. throwing off
impurities in the blood. Electric bitters

rs the very best blood purifier and nerve
tonic. Try it. Sold tor SOC or 81 per

No ono knows exactly when or where
the original coin was struck" or what
metal was used. Certain passages in
Homer woHid lead TO the Inference that
brass was coined as early as the year
1854 b. G. Tradition affirms that the
Chinese had bronze coins RS early as
the year 1920 B. G. But Herodotus, the
acknowledged Father of History" is
of tho opinion that the Lydians in
vented" coins some time during the
ninth century B. 9. One of the oldest
coins now known isa gold daric, coined
by the Persians during tho reign CO
Darius. On one side of this coin is
bust of Darius and on the other side IA
figure of Il knecling archer.
