scians and citizens generally OF the United States,
because the article has attained reputation here

speak more powerfully than volumes of bare

Hostetter'S Stomach Bitters for the last year a
mounted to over half-million bottles, and from
its manifest steady increase in times past, it is

mense amount could never have been sold but for
the medicinal properties contained in the pre-
paration, and the sanction of the most prominent
physicians in those sections of the country where

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
sultng 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

mother, especially if she be young, is apt to for

during the summer season, the wear of body and
