writes, "I endured insufferable
pain from indigestion, stomach
and bowel trouble. Death seem
.ed inevitable when doctors and
all remedies failed. At length I
was induced to try Electrlc Bit
ters and the result was miracu
lous. I improved at once and

there like an avenging spirit. Our
friend looked up from his work,

back in its place and, with the air
of one completely absorbed in his
work, murmured:
"There ! Stay there, will you?
