Electric Bitsers.

Electric Bitters is medicine suited
for any season, but perhaps more gener-
ally needed when the languid, exhausted
feeling prevails, when the liver is torpid
and sluggish and the need of a tonic and
and alternative is felt. A prompt use of
this medicine has often averted long and
perhaps fatal bilious fevers. Nomedi-
cine will act more surely eornteracting
and freeing the system ireE ne malar-
ial poison. Headache, Indigestion, Con-

1t may be worth something to know
that the very best medicine for restoring
the tired out nervous system to 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 eff
impurities in the blood. Electric Bit.
ters improves the appetite, aids diges-
ton and is pronounced by those who
have tried it as the very best blood puri-
fer and nerve tonic. Try it. Sold for

According to the calculations of John
Birkenbine, of Philadelphia, the drain
age area of the Mississippi river Is l.
250,000 square miles, including nearly
all of the country from the Alleghenies
TO the Rockies and from Canada to the
Gulf of Mexico. In his communication
10 the Engineers club, Mr.. Birkenbine
estimates that one inch of rain falling
evenly over this area would equal 21,-
7S0,0Oo, 100000 gallons of water. The
average yearly fall in the Mississippi
watershed averages from 30 to 43
inches, according to locality. The river
has an average flow of 664, 900 cubic feet
per second.-Detroit Free Press.

carry them to Dunfermliac, where
they intended to call out the $50 min
