Engaged people should remember,
that, after marriage, many quarrels can
bc avoided, by keeping their digestions
in good condition with Electric Bitters.
S. A. Brown, of Bennetsville, S. c.,
saws: "For years, my wife suffered in
teisely from dyspepsia, complicated
with torpid liver, until she lost her
strength and vigor, and became mere
wreck of her former self. Then she
tried Electric Bitters, which helped her
at once, and finally made her entirly
well. She Is now strong and healthy. "
