Would have fallen on any onel
who attacked the son of Peter Bon
dy, of South Rockwood, Mich., but
he was powerless before attacks of
kidney trouble. Doctors could not
help him, he wrote, " so at last we
gave him Electric Bitters and he
improved wonderfully from taking
six bottles. Its the best kidney medi
cine I ever saw." Backache, tired
feeling, nervousness, loss of appe
tite, warn of kidney trouble that
may end in dropsy, diabetes or
Bright's disease. Beware: Take
Electric Bitters and be saft. Every
