The Limit of Life,

The most eminent medical scientists
are unanimous in the conclusion that
the generally accepted limitation Of
human life is many years below the
attainment possible with the advanced
knowledge of which the race is now
possessed. The critical period, that
determines its duration, seems to be
between 80 and 60; the proper care of
the body during this decade cannot be
too strongly urged; Carelessness then
being fatal to longevity. Natures best
helper after so is Electric Bitters, the
scientific tonic medicine that revital-
ICES every organ of the body. Guar
