Chesterton Tribune, April 30, 1885
Very Remarkable Discovery
Mr. Geo. V. Willing, of Manchester, Mich., writes; "My wife has been
almost helpless for five years, so helpless that she could not turn over
in bed alone. She used two bottles of Electric Bitters, and is so much
improved that she is able now to do her own work.
Electric Bitters will do all that is claimed for them. Hundreds of
testimonials attest their great curative power. Only fifty cents a
bottle at Dr. H. Green.
Tell your Swedish friends that next week they can read the local news in
their own language in the Tribune.
A fine lot of new furniture just received by J. B. Lundberg this week.
