To SkeDticaI Asthmatics.

The truly marvellous cures OF Asthma

cases, but positively cures, in proof of
which hear what the Town Clerk at
Cavalier, N. D., Mr.. w. Sererus, says.
Il was troubled with asthma for 20
years, about Syears ago started to use
your Asthma Cure, and have not had an
attack for six years"

How Look Good.

Good looks are really more than skin
deep, depending entirely on healthy
condition of all the vital organs. If the
liver be inactive, you have bilious look
if your kidneys be effected, you have a
pinched look. Secure good health, and
you will surely have good looks. "Elec-
trio Bitters' is a good Alternative and
Tonic. Acts directly on the stomach,
liver and kidneys. Purihes the blood,
cures pimples, blotches and boils, and
gives good complexion. Every bottle
guaranteed, Sold at Flint Bros Drug
store at so cents per bottle.
