A CLEVER TRICK.

1t certainly looks like it, but there is
really no trick about it. Anybody can
try it who has Lame Back and Weak
Kidneys, Malaria or nervous troubles.
We mean he can cure himself right by
taking Electric Bitters. This medicine
tones up the whole system, acts as a
stimulant to the Liver and Kidneys, is
a blood purifier and nerve tonic. 1t
cures Constipation, Headache, Faint
ing Spells, Sleeplessness and Melan-
choly. 1t is purely vegetable, mild
laxative, and restores the system to its
natural vigor. Try Electric Bitters and
be convinced that they are a miracle
worker. Every bottle guaranteed. Only
