IL B L Il II f X S.-The proprietors and
Manufacturers of HoStetterys CelebratsG Stomach
BttterS 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 asser-
ton blazoning puffery. The consumption of
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters for the last year n
mounted to half-miIlion bottles and from
its manifest steady increase in times past il is ey
ident that during the coming year the consump-
ton will reach million bottles. This i'm
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 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
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters have proved a God
send to regions where fever and ague and various
other bilious complaints have counted their vic
Tins by hundreds To be able to state confident
ly that the 'Bitters certain for the Dys
pepsia and like diseases, is to the proprietors
source of unalloyed pleasure. 1t removes all NOR
bid matter from the stomach, purifies the blood,
and imparts renewed vitality to the nervous sys-
TEN. giving it that tone ard energy indispensable
for the restoration of health. It operates upon
the stomach, liver. and other digestive organs,
mildly but powerfully, and soon restores them
to condition essential to the healthy discharge
of the functions of nature.
Elderly persons may use the Bftters daily as per
directions the bottle, and they will find it a
stmuIant peculiarly adapted to comfort declining
years, it is pleasant to the palate, fnvfgorating
to the bowels, excellent tonic, and reluvena-
ting generally. We have evidence of thousands
of aged men and women who have experienced
the benefit of using this preparation while suffer-
ing from stomach arrangements and general de-
bility; acting under the advice of physicians,
they have abandoned all deleteFi0us drugs and
fairly tested the merits of this article. A few
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 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
infant. Should the period for maternity arrive
during the summer season, the wear of body and
mind is generally aggravated. Here. then, is
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 nvgorators that receive the en-
dorsement of physicians, because it is agreeable
to the taste as we'll certain to give permanent
increase of bodily strength.
All those persons, to whom have particular
ly referred above to wit sufferers from fever and
ague, caused by malaria diarrhaa dysentery, in
digestion loss of appetite and all diseases or de-
raDgements of the stomach, superanuated invai-
ids, persons of sedentary occupation, and nursing
mothers, will consult their own physical welfare
by giving to Hostetter's Celebrated Stomach Bit
ters trial.
