Clever Trick.

1t certainly looks like it, but :here
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 him
self right away by taking Electric
Bitters. This medicine tones up the
whole system, acts as a stimulant to
the liver and kidneys, is a blood puri-
fer and nerve tonic. 1t cures consti-
patton, headache, fainting spells,
sieeplessness and melancholy. 1t is
purely vegetable, mild laxative. and
restores the system to its natural
vigor. Try Electric Bitters and be
that they are a miracle

If the big four republican zebras,
