After using two bottles Of Electric Bit,
tiers, she is wonderfully improved and
able to do her own work" This su'
preme remedy for female diseases quick
cures nervousness, sleeplessness, mel
ancholy, headache, backache, fainting
and dizzy spells. This miracle working
medicine is a godsend to weak, run
down people. Every bottle guaranteed
