Not a Sick Day, Sime
I was taken severely sick with kidney trouble and tried many medicines without relief. An advertisement for Electric Bitters led me to try them and after a few doses I felt relief and was soon completely cured. Neighbors were cured of rheumatism, kidney trouble, neuralgia, liver issues, and general debility.
