Dear Sir: l enclose you in this
letter several pieces of calcuh pass
ed by a patient of mine, who has
been taking the Harris Springs
Water" for the past eighteen
months. This gentleman has been
a sufferer for two or three years
with Cystitis, caused from stone.
The solvent power of the water has
been, l think, clearly demonstrated
in this case. All these fragments
were passed in two excavations
from his bladder in the past ten

Water most excellent remedy in
the Uric Acid Diathesis, also in
Chronic Dyspeptic troubles.

Something To Know

1t may be worth something to know
that the very 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 of impurities in the blood
Electric Bitters improves the appetite
aids digestion, and is pronounced by
those who have tried it as the very
best blood purifier and nerve tonic
Try it. Sold for 50cents or $l.00 pei
