Oliver of Philadelphia the subject ,
is narrated by him as follows : "I was iu
a most dreadful condition. My skin was
almost yellow , eyes sunken , tongue
coated , pain continually in back and
sides , no appetite gradually growing
weaker day by day. Three physicians
had given me up. Fortunately , a friend
advised trying 'Electric Bitters ; ' and to
my great joy and surprise , the first bottle
made an improvement. I continued
their use for three weeks , and am now a
well man. I know they saved my life ,
and robbed thegraveof anothervictim. "
