Failing!
That is what a great
many people are doing.
They don't know just what
is the matter, but they have
a combination of pains and
aches, and each month they
grow worse.
The only sure remedy
yet found is BROWN'S IRON
BITTERS, and this by rapid
and thorough assimilation
v.'ith the Wood purines aajl
fnriehe* it, arid rich", strong' ■—"
blood flowing to every p;tit
of the system repairs the
wasted tissues, drives out
disease and gives health and
strength.
Thi3 is why BROWN'S
IRON BITTERS will cure
kidney and liver diseases,
consumption, rheumatism,
neuralgia, dyspepsia, mala
ria, intermittent fevers, • &c.
303 S. Tica St., Baltimore.
Nov. sd, iBB*.
I tvxs a great sufferer from
Dyspepsia, and for several
weeks could eat nothing and
was growing weaker every
day. 1 tiicd Brown's lion
Bitters, and am happy to say
1 now have a good appetit :,
and urn gcitiug stronger.
JCJ. MCCAWLKY.
BROWN'S IRON BITTERS
is not a drink and does not
contain whiskey. It is the
only preparation of Iron
that causes no injurious ef
fects. Get the genuine.
Don't be imposed on with
imitations.
