Nothing that is not wholesome, genial aud
restorative in its nature. enters into the compo-
sition of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. This
popular preparation contains no mineral of any
kind, no deadly botanical element no fiery eX-
citant but it is a combination of the extlects
of rare balsamic herbs and plants with the pur-
est and npildest of all ditfusive stimuants.
1t is well to be forearmed against disease,
and, so far as the human system can be pro-
tected by human means against maladies en-
gendered by an unwholcsomc atmosphere i'm
pure water and other external causes, Hostel
ter's Bitters may be relied on as a safeguard.
In districts infested with Fever and Ague,
it has been found infallible as a preventive and
irresistible as Il remedy and thousands who re-
sort to it under apprehension of an attack, es-
cape the scourge ; and thousands who neglect
to avail themselves of its protective qualities
in advance, are cured by very brief course OF
this morvelous medicine. Fever and Ague pa
tents, after being piled with quinine for
months in vain, until fairly saturated with that
dangerous alkaloid, are not unfrequently restor-
ed to health within a few days by the use o!
Hostettcr's Btters.
The weak stomach is rapidly invigorated
and the appetite restored by this agreeable
Tonic, and hence it works wonders In eases OF
Dyspepsia and in less confirmed forms of lndi-
perient, as well MS upon the liver 1t also invar-
iably relieves the Constipation superinduced
by irregular action of the digestive and secre-
tive organs.
Persons of feeble habit liable to Nervous At
lacks, Lowness Of Spirits and Fits of Languor
find prompt and permanent relief from these
Bitters The testimony o. this point is most
conclusive, and from both sexes.
The agony of Bilious Collie is Immediately as
suaged by single dose of the stimulant, and
by occasionally resoring to it, the return of the
complaint may be prevented.
AS General Tonic, Hostetter's Bitters pro
duce effects which must be experienced or wit
messed before they con be fully appreciated. In
eases Of Constitutional Weakness, Premature
Decay and Debility and Decreptitude arising
from Old Age, it exercises the electric infiu-
ence. In the convalescent stages Of all dsea-
ses it operates as Il delightful inyigorant. When
the powers OF nature are relaxed, it operates to
re-enforce and re-esiablish them.
Last but not least. tits The only Safe Slim
ulant, being manufactured from sound and in
ocuous materials, and entirely free from the ae-
id clements present more or less in all the or
binary TONES aud s'omachics OF the day.

Here are q few curiosities Of fire in
surance in that country, quoted by the
Petite Revue, as from the books Of a
French fire insurance company
!. A gentleman, while smoking, had
a spark fall on his coat, in which it
burnt a small hole, and the company
paid two francs (thirty-seven cents) for
the repair Of the garment.
2 A housekeeper placed a shoulder
Of veal in a stove which was overheated
The meat was burnt to cinder, and
the insurance company paid the value
of the shoulder (They ought, instead,
TO have given him a cold shoulder !) }
g. An old paralytic lady perished
from a charcoal fire, whose flames had
communicated with her clothes; and
the son and heir of the lady received
eighty francs as damages TO the dress
Of his burnt mother

Of box of lucifer matches, with which
it played, taking FIRE The parents
claimed twelve francs as the cost Of the

refused 10 bear the expenses Of the
coffin and the funeral, which the
parents desired TO have refunded, As
arising from the effects Of the fire.
