Kill More Than Wild Beasts.

The number of people killed
yearly by wild beasts don't approach
the vast number killed by disease
germs. No life is safe from their
attacks. They're in the air, water,
dust, even food. But grand pro-
lection is afforded by Electric Bit
ters, which destroy and expel these
deadly disease germs from the sys-
tenn. That's why chills, fever and
ague, all malarial and many blood
diseases yield promptly to this won
derful blood purifier. Try them,

new strength they'll give you. Mon
