FITS OF CHILDREN

Epilepsy, or fits, in children is Of
even greater urgency Of cure than in
older people. In their active and
restless life, an attack is liable to
come at a fatal moment, and the sun
shine Of the home will be crushed out
of existence. At the very first sign of
epilepsy or nervous twitchings or
trembling, Elixir Kosine should be
used.
This remedy is the discovery Of a
well-known Washington scientist, and
is the only known cure for epileptic
fits. It can be used by all ages, and
is a positive cure for this dread dis
ease. VoegeH Bros, corner Hennepin
and Washington avenue, and corner
Seventh street and Nicollet avenue,
the local agents, have so much faith
in the remedy that they give their per-
sonal guarantee that It will cure or
else the price, $3.50, will be refunded.
Mail orders filled.
For sale by the Elixir Kosine Co.,
Washington, D. &C., ior by Voegeli Bros.

ington avenues, and corner Seventh
