NOTHING THAT IS NOT WHOLESOME,
~ genial, and restorative in its nature, enters
into the composition of H0STETTER'S ST0M-
ACH BITTERS. This popular preparation con
tans mineral of any kind, dc adly botanical
element no fierce exctant; but it is combination
of the extracts of balsamc herbs and plants, with
the purest and mildest of all diffusive simuants.
As General Tonic, H0STETTER'S BITTERS
produce effects which must be experienced wit
messed before they be fully appreciated. In
cases of Constitutional Weakness Premature Decay
and Debility, and Decrepitude arising from Old
Age it exercises an electric influence. In the con
valescenJ stages of all diseases it operates de
lghtful inyigorant. When the powers of nature
are relaxed it operates to reinforce and re-esablish
them.
The weak stomach is rapidly invigorated and the
appetite restored by this agreeable Tome, and
hence it works wonders in cases of DYSPEPSIA,
and in less confirmed forms of INDIGESTION. Act
ing as gentle and painless aperient, well as
upon the liver, it also invariably relieves the Con-
stipation superinduced by irregular action of the
digestive secretiye organs.
Persons of feeble habit, liable to Nervous At
tacks, Lowness of Spirits and Fits Of Languor, find
prompt and permanent relief from the Bitters. The
testimony this point is most conclusive and from
both sexes.
The agony of BILIOUS COLIC is Immediately
assuaged by single dose of the stimulant, and by
occasionally resortng to it, the return of the
plant may be prevented.
Last, though not least, it is the ONLY SAFE
sTIMULANT, being manufactured from sound and
innoeuous materials and entirely free from the
acid elements present more or less in all the ordi-
nary tonics and stomachics of the day.
No family medicine has been so universally and,
it may be truly added deservedly popular with the
intelligent portion of the community as HOSTEL

1t was intended, by the getters up
of the tableau, to symbolic that the
very extremes had met; that South
Carolina, the most southern of South
ern people, and Massachusetts,, the
most pragmatical of the Puritans, had
smoked the pipe of peace, and were
locked in affectionate embrace ;and the
scene was held mp for study as
beautiful picture with moral to it.
But Is there not another view? Did
Mr.. Orr go to Philadelphia to confess
that his State lay on an extreme as far
outfromtruth and justice as MassachuS
sets? That she was an equal offender?
That indeed has often been charged
against her. but. it has not been,
confessed until now, when her suffer
