untold misery. Several doctors treated
me unsuccessfully and I had begun to
consider my case hopeless"
zone day, thank God, I saw an adver-
tisement of Prickly Ash Bitters and
thought would give it trial. After .
thorough course of treatment with this
great remedy I am glad to say It has
made different man of me. I nowteel
we'll and strong, my digestion is good, I
can eat anything at any time without
that awful distress I used to have. I
consider it my duty to recommend
Prickly Ash Bitters to everyone whom I
think needs it, and know everyone
who has used it on my Recommendation
has been greatly benefited"
Prickly Ash Bitters is a remedy
with a splendid record of cures OF
all forms of kidney and liver trou-
bles. 1t has an agreeable cathartic
action that removes constipation
