STORY OF A SLAVE

To be bound hand and foot for years by the chains of disease is the worst form of slavery. George D. Williams of Manchester, Mich, tells how such 8 slave was made free. He says: My wife has been so helpless for five years that she could not turn over in bed alone. After using two bottles of Elec- trio Bitter., she is wonderfully improv- ed and able to do her own work. The supreme remedy for female diseases quickly cures nervousness, sleeplessness melancholy, headache, baokache, faint .ng and dizzy spells. This miracle working medicine is a godsend to weak ,ickly, run down people. Every bottle guaranteed. Onls 50 cents. Sold by W, H, Camp, Druggist, Canaan; Geo. H Clark, Druggist, Salisbury; c.
