Where Bullets Flew.
David Parker, of Fayette, N. Y., a
veteran of the Civil War, who lost a
foot at Gettysburg, says: "The good
Electric Bitters have done is worth
moro than five hundred dollars to me.
I spent much money doctoring for a
bad case of stomach troublo, to little
purpose. I then tried Electric Bit
ters, and they cured me. I now take
them as a tonic, and they keep mo
strong and well." DOc. at all drug
stores. ... ,
