HOST TER'S MACH
BI Il 7 T. S.-The proprietors and

Manufacturers of Hostetter's Celebrated Stomach
Bitters can appeal with perfect confidence to ply
sicans 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 a.
mounted to lf-million bottles, and from
its manifest steady increase in times past, 1t Is
ident that during the coming year the consump-
ton will reach near one million bottles. This i'm
mense amount could never have been sold but for
the rare 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 Biters to their patients, but are ready at all
tunes to give testimonials to its efficacy in all
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 a
solid estimation of an invaluable medicine, which
is destined to be as enduring as time itself
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters have proved 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

source of unalloyed pleasure. 1t removes all NOR
bid matter from the stomach, purifes the blood,
and imparts renewed vitality to the nervous sys-
tenn; giving it that tone ard energy indispensable
for the restoration of health. 1t operates upon

fairly tested the merits of this article. A few
| words to the gentler sex There are certain Pc
riods when their rcares so harrassing that many
of them sink under the trial. The relation of mo-
| thcr and child is absorbngly 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 a
| necessity for stimulant to recuperate the ener-
gies of the SYSTEM and enable the mother to bear
up under her exhausting trials and responstbli-
ties. Nursing mothers generally prefer the Bit
ters to all other invigorators that receive the
dorsement of physicians, because it is agreeable
to the taste well certain to give permanent
increase of bodily strength

ly referred above to wit sufferers from fever and
ague, caused by alaria, diarrhea, dysentery, in
digestion, loss of appetite and all diseases de-
rangements of the stomach, superanuated inval-
ids, persons of sedentary occupation, and nursing
mothers, will consult their own physical welfare
