Don't Break Down.

Severe strains on the vital organs. like
strains on machinery, cause break
downs. You can't oyer-tax stomach,
liver, kidneys, bowels or nerves without
serious danger to yourself. Ii you are
weak or run down. or under strain OF
any kind, take Electric Bitters. the
matcbless tonic medicine. Mrs. j. f.
Van de Sande, OF Kirkland. H., writes:
"That did not break down. while en-
during a most severe strain. for three
months. is due wholly to Electric Bit
ters" Use them and enjoy health and
strength. Satisfaction positively guar

of not only seeing what others have
done in the culture of corn but also
