The Cause of Rheumatism

Stomach trouble, lazy liver and de-
ranged kidneys are the cause of rheu-
matism. Get your stomach, liver,
kidneys and bowels in healthy condi-
ton by taking Electric Bitters, and
you will not be troubled with the
pains of rheumatism. Charles B. AL
len, a school principal, OF Sylvania,
Ca, who suffered indescribable tor
ture from rheumatism, liver and
stomach trouble and diseased kid
neys, writes: "All remedies failed un-
til l used Electric Bitter, but four
bottles of this wonderful remedy cur

matte pains come from stomach, liv-
er and kidney troubles. Electric
