victories than any other General III the war,

NoTHING that is not wholesome, genial and restor-
ative in its nature enters into the composition of o
sTETrER's STOMACH B1rTERs This popular prepa-
ration contains no mineral of any kind, no deadly
botanical element no fiery excitant; but it is COM
bination of the extracts of basamic herbs and
plants, with the purest and mdest of all diRusive
stimulants.
1t is well to be forearmed against disease, and, so
far as the human system can be protected by human
means against maladies engendered by an unwholc-
some atmosphere, impure water and other external
causes, HosTETTER's BITTERs may be relied on as
safeguard.
In districts infested with Fever and Ague, il has
been found nallble as preventive and irresistible
as a remedy, and thousands who resort to it under
apprehension of IAN attack, escape the scourge; and
thousands who neglect TO avail themselves of its
protective qualities in advance, cured by very
brief course of this marvellous medicine. Fever and
Ague patients, after being piled with quinine for
months in vain, until fairly saturated with that dan
gerous alkalod, are not unfrequently restored to
health within few days by tile use of HosrETTER's
BITTERs.
The weak stomach is rapidly invigorated and the
appetite restored by this agreeable Tonic, and hence
it works wonders in cases Of Dyspepsia aud in less
confirmed forms OF Indigestion Acting as o gentle
and painless aperient, well as upon the liver It
also invariably relieves the Constipation superin-
duced by irregular action Of the digestive and secre-
tive organs.
Persons Of feeble habit liable to Nervous Attacks,
LoWness ot Splcts, and Fits of Languor, find prompt
and permGhent relief from the BITTERs. The testi-
mcny on this point is most conclusive and from both
| sexes.
| The agony of Bilious Collie is immediately as
suaged by single dose of the stmuant and by oc-
casonaly reSorting to it, The return of the complaint
may be prevented.
AS General Tonic HosrETTER's BITTERs pro-
duce effects which must be experienced or witnessed
before they can be fully appreciated. In cases of
! Constitutional Weakness, Premature Decay, ana
Debility and Dccrepiude arising from Old Age it
| exercises the electric influence. In the GONZALES
centstages all diseases it operates as ightful
invg0rant. When the powers ofnature are relaxed,
/ it operates to reinforce aud re-establish them.
! Last, but not least it is THE ONLY SAFE STIMu-
LIANT being manufactured from sound and innocu-
Gus Materials and entirely free from the acid ele-
ments present more or less in all the ordinary onics
and stomachics of the day.
Nofamily medicine has been so universally, and
it may be truly added, DEsERvEDLY popular with
the Intelligent portion of the community, as llo-
