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
veal, kidneys, malcria or nervous
troubles. We mean he can cure him
self right away by taking Electric
Bittcrs. This medicine tones up the
whole system, acts as a stimulant to
liver and kidneys, is blood purifier
and nerve tonic. 1t cures constipa-
ton, headache, fainting spells, sleep
lessnc,s and melancholy. 1t is pure
" VEGETABLE, a mild laxative, and re-
torres the system to its natural yigor.
Try Electric Bittcrs and be convinced
that they are q miracle worker.
