Story of a Slave.
To be bound hand and foot for years
by the chains of disease is the worst
form of slavery. George D. Williams
of Manchester, Mich, tells how such
a slave was made free. He says: “ My
Wife has been so helpless for live years
that she could not turn over in bed
alone. After using two bottles of Elec-
tric Bitters, she is wonderfully im-
proved and able to do her own work.”
This supreme remedy for female dis-
eases quickly cures nervousness, sleep-
lessness, melancholy, headache, back-
cche, fainting and dizzy spells. This
miracle working medicine is a godsend
to weak, sickly, run down people.
Every bottle guaranteed. Only 50c.

une of the "leSSUns of the war” is
that the so-calle-d naval powers of Eu-
rope should overhaul their navies and
find out just how many of their ves.
sels are obsolete.
strength of a navy is not increased but
diminished by loading down the navy
register with ships that ought to be
condemned, and it would probably‘as
vtonish every one of the European pow-
ers to learn how much smaller'theii
