NOTHING THAT IS NOT WHOLESOME.
~ genial and restorative in its nature enters into
the composition of Hostetters Stomach Bitters
This popular preparation contains no mineral OF
any kind no deadly botanical element; no fierce
excitant; but it is combination of the extract, of
rare balsamic herbs rnd plants with the purest aud
mildest of Ill diffusive stimulants.
The weak stomach is rapidly nyigorated and
the appetite restored by this agreeable Tonic, and
hence it works wonders in case of Dyspepsia and
IN less confirmed forms of Indigestion. Acting as
gentle and painless apperient, well as upon
the liver, it also invariably relieves the nstipa-
ton superinduced by irregular action of the diges-
tive secretive organs
Persons of feeble habit, liable to Nervous At
tacks Lowness Of Spirits and Fits Of Lanpuor.
find prompt and permanent relief from the Bitters
The testimony on 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 resortng TO it, the return of the com
plant may be prevented.
Asa General Tonic iHostetter's Bitters produce
effects which must he experienced or witnessed be-
fore they can be fully appreciated In cases of Con-
stltutlonal Weakness, Premature Decay and Debil-
ny and Decrepitude arising from old age, it exer-
cises an electric influence. In the convalescent
stages OF all diseases it operates as delightful in
yigorant. When the powers of nature are relaxed
II operates to reinforce and re-establish them.
Last but not least, it is the only safe stmulant
being manufactured from sound and innocuous ma
terlals, and entirely free from the acid elements
present more less in all the ordinary touics 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
ters Bitters.
