During the summer that has just passed
away, thousands OF sufferers from dyscntery
and diarrhma have been relieved by the use Of
HOSTETTER'S BiTTERS, a medicine which
il evidently destined to maintain n permanent
place in the public estimation. Bilious diarrhma
is one of those diseases which battles the skill
OF the physician. The medicine they admins
ter to act upon the bowels never seems to
reach the source Of the evil Me dHfculty is
to get a remedy that will reach all the digestive
organs, and give eIcm simultaneously rush of
vigor, to rid themselves of this disease This
problem is solved by the BlrTERs which never
fails to conquer the most stubborn cases. 1t
is only fair to say, that during the season just
closed, this medicine has achieved more cures
than any other ever pacseutcd to the public,
and during the fall which that terrible scourgc,
the fever and aguc, is so prevalent, the BrrrERs
will gain fresh fame.
