A LETTER FROM AN OLD TRAVELLER
Messrs. Prince, Walton & Co., Gentlemen
AS you are aware, have been engaged up
to short time past as travelling agent tor
J. G. Aver & Co.
was taken very sick with bilious at
tack while travelling in the State of Indi-
ana. 1 had taken Ayers pills before for
the same difficulty, but with no good
effect. A travelling friend who happened
to be stopping at the same hotel, recon-
mended me to try some Roback Pills. l
confess frankly that had no confidence in
them at the time, but through the impor-
tunities of my friend 1 was persuaded to
take them; and with astonishing effect
they entirely removed the bile, and opera
ted on the liver so effectually that in day
I was as well as usual.
unhesitatingly recommend them to be
the best pills in the market.
You are at liberty to publish this, as 1
deem it duty owe to the public to give
my (unsolicited) testimony in their favoa.

Are You Bilious /?

Multitudes of both sexes will answer this ques-
ton in the affirmative; for, next to disorders of
the stomach, lver-conplaints are perhaps the most
prevalent Of all internal diseases. Its usual symp-
toms are yellowish tnges in the whites Of the
eyes, especially near the inner corners, uneasy
or slightly painful sensation in the right side, pain
between the shoulder blades, sick-headache lassi-
tude mental dizziness, lack of appetite, and irreg-
ularity of the bowels. Whoever recognizes this
diagnosis as applying to his own condition may be
quite certain that more bile exists in his blood
and less passes through his bowels than is expe-
dent for his health and that his liver requires ton
ing and regulating. One of the special uses of
HosTETTER's BITTERs sGu3
is to just such contingencies this It's tonic
principle rouses the liver from It's torpor and Its
aperient element gently relieves the intestinal ca
nal of the accretions consequent upon an insult
cient supply of natures cathartic, the bile.
Persons of bilious habit will find 1t the best safe
guard against the attacks to which they consti-
tutionaly predisposed, and should carefully avoid
all the ordinary alcoholic stimulants.
