Manufacturers of Hostetter's CeLebr1ted Stomach

speak more powerfully than volumes of bare asser-
ton blazoning pufery. The consumption of

mounted to a half-millon bottles, and from
its manifest steady increase in times past, it is
ident that during the coming year the consump-

mense amount could never have been sold but for
the medicinal properties contained in the pre-
paration and the sanction of the most prominent
physicians in those sections of the country where
the article is best known who not only recommend
the Bitters to their patients, but ready at all
tunes to give testimonials to its efficacy in all Ca
ses of stomachic arrangements and the diseases
sulting therefrom. This is not a temporary popu-
larity, obtained by extraordinary efforts in the way
of trumpeting the qualities of the Bitters, but
solid estimation of an invaluable medicine. which
is destined to be as enduring as time itself

words to the gentler sex. There are certain Pc
riods when their cares so harrassing that many
of them sink under the trial The relation of mo-
ther and child is absorbingly tender, that the
mother especially if she be young, is apt to for
get her own health in the extreme anxiety for her

during the summer season, the wear of body and
mind is generally aggravated. Here, then, is a
necessity for stimulant to recuperate the ener-
gies of the system, and enable the mother to bear
up under her exhausting trials and responsible
ties Nursing mothers generally prefer the Bit
ters to all other invigorators that receive the
