Electric lSltters.

Electric Bitters is a medicine suited for
any season, but perhaps more generally
needed when the languid, exhausted feel
ing prevails, when the liver is torpid and
sluggish and the need OF tonic and alter
alive is felt. A prompt use OF this medi-
cine has often averted long and perhaps
atal bilious feyers. No medicine will
act more surely In counteracting and
freeing the system from the malaral poi
son. Headache, Indigestion, constipa-
ton, dizziness yield to Electric Bitters.
