"Death was fast approaching."
writes Ralph F. Fernandei of Tampa.
Ha., describing his fearful race with
death, "as a result ot liver trouble and
heart disease, which had robbed me of
sleep and cf all interest In life. I had
tried many different doctors and sev

til I began to use Electric Bitters. So
wonderful was their effect, that in
three days I felt like a new man. and
today I am cured of all my troubles.'
