Don't Break Down.

Severe strains on the vital organs,
like strains on machinery, cause
break downs. You can't over-tax
stomach, liver, kidneys, bowels or
nerves without serious danger to
yourself. If you are weak or rum
down, or under strain of any kind,
take Electric Bitters the matchless,
tonic medicine. Mrs. j. E. Van de
Sande, of Kirkland, ILL.,, writes:
THAT did not break down, while
enduring most severe strain, for
three months, is due wholly to Elec-
trio Bitters." Use them and enjoy
health and strength. Satisfaction
guaranteed. SOC at F. T. Claws.

which avoided the heights Of the Rockies.
ITO protect this route from marauding

They besieged Fort Reno and killed
