In view of the fact that every member Of

some Of the above complaints. besides ip'
Vulnerable other conditions in life, which,
by the assistance of little knowledge OF
exercise Of common sense, they may be able
so to regulate their habits of dict, and with
the assistance Of good tonic, secure per.
manent health. In order to accomplish this
desired object. the true course to pursue is,
certainly, that which will produce a natural
state Of things at the least hazard of vital
strength and life for this end DR.. Hostetter
has introduced % this country prepara.
ton called HOSTETTER'S STOMACH
BITTERS, which at this day is not a new
medicine, but one that has been tried for
years, giving satisfaction TO all who have
used it. The Bitters operate powerfully upon
the stomach, bowels and liver, restoring
them to o healthy and vigorous action, and
thus by the simple process Of Strengthening
nature, enable the system to triumph over
disease. Diarrhsa, dysentery or fIux, SO
generally contracted by new settlers, and
caused principally by the change of water
and diet, will be speedily regulated by a
brief use Of this preparation. Dyspepsia,
a disease which is probably more prevalent
when taken in all its various forms, than
any other the cause Of which may always
be attributed to arrangements Of the diges-
tive organs, can be cured without fail BY
Using HOSTETTER'S STOMACH BIT
TIERS as per directions on the bottle. For
this disease every physician will recon-
mend Bitters Of some kind, then why not
use an article known to be infaliible
Every country have their Bitters as pre-
ventive Of disease, and strengthening of
the system in general, and among them all
there is not to be found more healthy
people than the Germans, from whom this
preparation emanated, based upon scientific
experiments which has attended to advance
the destiny Of this great preparation in the
medical scale of science.
