THE peculiarities,oft the female constitu-
ton and the various trials to which the
sex is subjected, demands an occasional
recourse to stimulauts. 1t is important,
however. that these shall be of a harmless
nature, and at the same time accomplish
the desired end. Hostetter's Celebrated
Stomach Bitters is the very article. Its
effect in all cases of debility are almost
magical. It restores the tone of the di-
gestive organs, iufuses fresh vitality into
the whole system ,>andl gives that cheerful
ness to the temperament, which is the
most valuable of feminine attractions
The ProprietOrs feel flatterei from the fact
that mauy OF the most prominent medical
gentlemen in the Union have bestowed en-
comiums upon the Bittsrs, the virtues of
which they have frequently tested and aCl
knoWledged. There are numerous count
erfeits offered for sale, all of which are des-
titqte of5merit, and positively injurious to
