Electric Ritters.

Electric Bitters is a medicine suited
for any season, but perhaps more gem
orally needed when the languid, ex-
hausted feeling prevails, when the liver
is torpid and sluggish and the need of a
tonic and Alternative is felt. A prompt
use of this medicine has often averted
long and perhaps fatal bilious fevers.
No medicine will act more surely in
