Epoch. (3)
The transition from long linger-
ing and painful sickness to robust
health marks an epoch in the life
of an individual. Such a remark-
able event is treasured in the mem-
ory and the agency whereby the
good health has been attained is
gratefully blessed. Henee it in
so much is heard in praise of Elec-
tric Bitters. So many feel they
owe their restoration to health to
tbeuse of thisGreatAlterativeand
Tonic. If yon are troubled with
any disease of Kidneys Liver or
Stomach of long or short standing
you will sorely find relief by use
of Electric Bitters. Sold at 50c
