DO Ghosts Haunt Swamps?

No, It's foolish to fear a
fancied evil, when there are real and
deadly perils to guard against in
swamps and marshes, bayous and
IOwlands. These are the malaria
germs that cause, aguc, chills and
fever, weakness, aches in the bones
and muscles and may induce deadly
typhoid. But Electric Bitters de-
stroys and casts out these vicious
germs from the blood. "Three bot
