HOSTETTER'S
STOMACH BITTERS.

The proprietors and manufacturers of HOS
LETTERS CELEBRATED STOMACH BIT
TIERS can appeal with perfect confidence to
physicians and citizens generally of the United
States, because the article has attained repu-
tation heretofore unknown. A few facts upon
this point will speak more powerfully than
volumes of bare assertion or blazoning puffery.
The consumption of Hostetter's Stomach Dit
tiers for the last year amounted to over half
million bottles, and from its manifest steady
increase in times past, it is evident that during
the coming year the consumption will reach
near one million bottles. This immense amount
could never have been sold but for the rare
medicinal properties contained in the prepara-
ton, 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
are ready at all times to give testimonials to its
efficacy in all cases of stomachic arrangements
and the diseases resulting therefrom.
This is not temporary popularity, obtained
by extraordinary efforts in the way of trum-
peting 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
Godsend to regions where fever and ague
and various other bilious complaints have
counted their victims by hundreds. To be
able to state confidently that the "Bitters''
are a certain cure for the Dyspepsia and like
diseases, is to the proprietors source of UNI
alleged pleasure. 1t removes all morbid matter
from the stomach, purifes the blood, and
imparts renewed vitality to the nervous system,
giving it that tone and energy indispensable
for the restoration of health. 1t operates upon
the stomach, liver, and other digestive organs,
mildly but powerfully, and soon restores them
to acondition 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
in it stimulant peculiarly adapted to comfort
declining years, as it is pleasant to the palate,
invigorating to the bowels, excellent as tonic,
and rejuvenating generally. We have the evil
dence of thousands of aged men and women
who have experienced the benefit of using this
preparation while suffering from stomach de-
rangements and general debility; 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 periods when
their cares are so harassing that many of them
sink under the trial. The relation of mother
and child is SO absorbingly tender, that the
mother, especially if she be young, is apt to
forget her own health in her extreme anxiety
for her infant. Should the period of maternity
arrive during the summer season, the wear Of
body and mind is generally aggravated. Here,
then, is necessity for stimulant to recupe-
rate the energies of the system, and enable the
mother to bear up under her exhausting trials
and responsibilities. Nursing mothers gene
rally prefer the Bitters to all other invigora-
tors that receive the endorsement of physi-
clans, because it is agreeable to the taste as
well as certain to give permanent inc ease
of bodily strength.
All those persons, to whom we have particu-
larly referred above, to wit: sufferers from
fever and ague, caused by malaria, diarrhea,
dysentery, indigestion, loss of appetite, and
all diseases or arrangements of the stomach,
superannuated invalds, persons of sedentary
occupation, and nursing mothers, will consult
their own physical welfare by giving to Hos
letters Celebrated Stomach Bitters q trial.
