Manufacturers of Hostetter's Celebrated Stomach
Bitters can appeal with perfect confidence to ply
sicians and citizens generally of the United States

the article is best known who not only recommend
the Bitters to their patients, but ready at all
times to give testimonials to its efficacy in all
of stom achic arrangements and the diseases re-
sulting therefrom. Thisis not a temporary popu-
larity, obtained by extraordinary efforts IN the way
of trumpeting the qualities of the Bitters, but

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
