Do (.hosts Haunt Swamps?
No. never. Its foolish to fear a
fancied evil, when there are real and
deadly perils to guard against in
swatnps and marshes, bayous and
lowlands. These are the malaria
germs that cause ague chills and
fever, weakness, aches in the hones
and muscles and may induce deadly
typhoid. But Electric Bitters de-
stroys and casts out these vicious
germs from the blood. "Three bot-
tles drove all the malaria from my
system," wrote Win. Fretwell, of
Lucarna, X. C., "and I've had fine
health ever since.” Use this safe,
sure remedy, only 50c. at Palace
Drug Store.
