LIGHTNING KILLS FEW.

In 1906 lightning killed only 169
people in this whole country. Ones
chances of death by lightning are
less than two in a million. The
chance of death from liver, kidney
or stomach trouble is vastly greater,
but not if Electric Bitters be used, as
Robert Madsen, of West Burlington,
Ia, proved. Four doctors gave him
up after eight months of suffering
from virulent liver trouble and yellow
jaundice. He was then completely
cured by Electric Bitters. They're
the best stomach liver, nerve and
kidney remedy and blood purifier on
earth. Only soc at all druggists.
