"For three years" she writes, "I endured Insuf ferable, pain from Indigestion, stomach and bowel trouble. Death seemed in evitable when doctors and all reme dles failed. At length I was induced to try Electric Bitters and the result was miraculous. I improved at once and now I'm completely reoovered.

Dear Sir: Most mixed paints are ei ther adulterated or short measure. De voe Lead and Zinc is neither, so it can not be classed with mixed pants.That's why it takes fewer gallons of Devoe to paint than it does of a mixed paint, and it lasts longer for the same reason. Ferguson and Thompson's store, Delhi, N. Y.| was painted some years ago with thirty-two gallons of mixed paint. Painted it last spring with Devoe and Zinc ? thirteen gallons did the work. Devoe Lead and Zlno is here or will bo hoie very shortly. Yours truly, F. W. Dkvok Sc Co. New York. Final Settlement.
