Manufacturers of Hostetter's Cekejrated Stomach
BiHers can appeal with perfect confidence to ply
scians and citizens generally of the United States
because the article has attained reputation here
tofore unknown. A few facts upon this point will
speak more powerfully than volumes of bare
tion or blazoning puffery. The consumption of
Hostetters Stomach Bitters for the last year a
mounted to over half million bottles, and from
its manifest steady increase in times past, it is
fdent that during the coming year the consump-
ton will reach near one million bottles. This i'm

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
ses of stomachc arrangements and the diseases re-
sultng therefrom. This is not temporary popu-
larity obtained by extraordinary efforts in the way
| of trumpeting the qualities of the Btters but

of them sink under the trial. The relation Of mo-
ther and child is so 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 a stimulant to recuperate the ener-
gies of the system and enable the mother to bear

dorsement of physicians, because it is agreeable
to the taste as well as certain to give permanent
