It seems that Bfiker, who is station

Electric Kilters is a medicine suited
for any scson, but perhaps more pen
era! ly needed when the languid, ex
hausted feeling preva;ls, when the
l'.ver is toriiid and sluggish and the
r 'ed of a tonic And alterative is felt.
A prompt use of this medicine has
often abated lontr and oerhaps fatal
bilious fevers. No medicine will act
more surely in counteracting and free
ing the system from the malar;al
poison. Headache, Indigestion, Con
stipation, Dizziness, yield to Electric
Hitters. Fifty cents and $1 bottles at
