R L z S.-The proprietora and

Manufacturers of Hostettey's Celebrated Stomach
BitterS can appeal with perfect confidence to ply
sicians 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 or blazoning pufery. The consumption of
Hostetter's Stomach Btters for the last year a.
mounted to over a half million bottles, and from
its manifest steady increase in times past it is
ident that during the coming year the consump-
ton will reach near one million bottles. This i'm
msnse amount could never have been sold but for
the medicinal properties ntained 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
times to give testimonials to its efficacy in all
ses of stomachic arrangements and the diseases re-
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 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 'Btters' certain cure for the Dys
pepsia and like diseases, is to the proprietors
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. It Itoperates 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 Bitters daily as per
directions on the bottle, and they will find it q
stimulant peculiarly adapted to comfort declining
years. as it is pleasant to the palate nvigorsting
to the bowels, excellent q tonic, and reJuvena-
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 deleterious drugs and
| fairly tested the merits of this article. A few
words to the gentler sex. There are certain Pc
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 a
necessity for q stimuant to recuperate the ener-
ges of the system, and enable the mother to bear
mp under her exhausting trials and responstbili-
| ties. Nursing mothers generally prefer the Bit
tors to all other invigorators that receive the en-
| dorsement of physicians, because it is agreeable
to the taste as well as certain to give permanent
| increase of bodily strength.
All those PERSONS to whom we have particular
ly referred above, to wit sufferers from fever and
ague, caused by malaria, diarrhoa, dysentery, in
digestion, loss of appetite, and all diseases or de-
| rangements of the stomach, superanuated invai-
ids, persons Of sedentary occupation, and nursing
