Electric Bitters.

Electric Bitters is q medicine
suited for any season, but perhaps
more generally needed, when the
languid, exhausted feeling prevails,
when the liver is torpid and slug
gish and the need of a tonic and
Alternative is felt. A prompt use
of this medicine has often averted
long and perhaps fatal bilious fe,
vers. No medicine will act more
surely in counteraeting and free
ing the system from the malarial
poison. Headache, Indigestion,
Constipation, Dizziness yield to

some European institutions is doubtless all
right, but we had better save little OF our
pity and lavish it right here at home. The
American wife and mother who labors
morning, noon and night, in the close con-
6nement of the home is in some respects
worse off than the abused Peasant-woIna1i:
The latter enjoys fresh air, sunlight and
outdoor exercise and retains that most
precious endowment, her health.
American women, ever busy in the close
confines of the home, get delicate and soon
suffer from weakness and arrangement OF
the delicate feminine organs. Confinement
to the house runs down their health and
they suffer from internal liberation and
inflammation, giving rise to debll'tatlng
drains on the system. DR., Pierce's Favorite

some time longer, as the defense
has just commenced to present its
side Of the case. The evidence

damaging to the Cefendants OF

1t seems to you that that
tickling, hacking cough is all
in the throat. But your doc
tor will tell you that this SEN
sation is often deceiving. The
cough is often the signal Of
deeper trouble in the bron-
chial tubes Or in the lung
tissue itself. These inhamed
membranes can only be
healed by treating the system.
For al hung troubles, espe-
cially in the earlier stages, no
remedy equals SCOTS Emul-
sion of Cod-liver Oil. Its
special power is in healing
the inhalned tissues of the
lungs.
