THE Stomach of Abusing its Func.


geon, once said that no man ought to be aware,
from his sensations, that he had a stomach,
| Alas! how many thousands of Americans ara
painfully and almost necessarily reminded Of
the existence of that organ! DIR. Franklins
| Conversation with the Gout was not accom-
panied by more unpleasant twinges than are
experienced by countless host of dyspepties
| every day.
In many dyspeptic cases the sufferers have
chiefly themselves to blame. The digestive
| apparatus is not composed of gutta peIcia or
of horn, but of delicate integuments and it
ought, inasmuch as it supplies the whole body
with n0urishment, to receive some degree of
| consideration. But it seldom does. Pho stom-
ach is not unfrequently treated with the most
| irrational ingratitude and if it avenges IFS
abuses by torturing the abuser, the verdict of
| impartial justice must be, Served him right"
But although it is easy enough to supc'in-
| duce indigestion by deliberately violating the
| hygienic laws which animals without the gift
| OF reason instinctively observe, the mere re-
turn to Il more regular and rational course or
| life seldom. if ever, cures the evil. Ihe tone
of the stomach must be restored; and diet anf
regimen will not of themselves effect this OBJ
iect The only sure resource, IN such cascs--
and very pleasant and palatabe resource 1t
isis IIostetter's Stomach Bitters.
Indigestion, in its chronic phase Of Dr>pEP-
STA, is believed to be more prevalent m the
United States than in any other country, and
though often brought on by reckless disre-
gard of the conditions upon which perfect
assimilation of the food taken into the stOIn-
ach depends is also TefeTable to many other
causes. Grief and anxiety, lack OF proper ex-
ercise. inordinate toll, excessive mental appi-
cation, exposure to sudden alterations OF heat
or cold. insufficient or unwhOlesome diet, the
exhalations from marshy lands, the efinwa
from unceanly streets and Overcrowded dwell-'
ings and whatever else tends to depress the
vital energies have a tendency to paralyze the
organs of digestion. These are evils insepal't-
bile from the lot of thousands; and, since this
is the ease, common prudence dictates that
their effects should, il possible, be guarsed
against by reinforcing and reinvigorating the
| wonderful mechanical and chemical apparatus
which furnishes sustenance to every part OF
the system. If the stomach is wrong, all IL
wrong, 1t would be rs reasonable to expect "a
watch with an injured handspring to Keep true
time as 10 suppose that any of the functions
of the body can go on regularly and health
fully when the stomach is out of order.
II is. obvious, therefore, that the grand object
| of all persons whose avOcatiOns are miaV0rai
| bic to health, or who are subjected, from any
| cause whatever, to facilitating influences,
should he TO increase the vigor and activity of
the great aSsimiIating DEMONSTRATING organ No
tonic has yet been discovered which acc0In~
pishes this object so certainly, so rapidly, so
safely and so agTeeably rs HOstetter's Bit
tiers. BY timely resort to this pure medi-
Gated stimulant, dyspepsia may always NE pre-
vented and by its persistent use that atfctN
ing disease may always be cured. The assert
ton has been made that it is incurable. This
is an unmitigated and cruel falsehOOd. Let no
dyspeptc believe it for moment. an aRbrOtes
chain Of dGimdtOTy testimony, extending orer
period Of serentcen years, prOreS, beyORdd shdd0n
of doubt that HOStetter's Stomach Filters
are specific for dyspepsia in all It's curious
types, and EVEN WHEN HEREDITARY AND CON
srIrUTIoNAL. The record is open to aIl who
choose to consult it, and the list of witnesses
comprises hundreds of individuals of the high
est standing in society, against whose trust
worthiness no cavier viii venture to wag "a
! finger.
| This Famous Vegetable Stomachic differs
! in one important regard from every other be-
| fore the public. II is not an irritdRt. 1t does
not. like the fiery tinctures of the Pharmaro-
ppia, excite the nervous system. On the con-
| trary its effect is to calm physical irritation
while il cheers Its effect upon the coats OF
the stomach is balsamic, not inhammatory, and
it does not anduly stimulate either the heard
or the brain.
Finally. it is the one thing needful for tho
prevention and cure of indigestion; and Rofhin5
will supply its place. The Bitters as a regulating
medicine. The excretory organs are safety-valvcs
of the system Through the bowels, the pores.
and the kidneys are discharged the refuse of The
materials which sustain, strengthen, and renew
that wonderful piece of animated mechanism,
the human body Ii is. therefore, obvious that
if the bowels do not perform their allotted
tasks efficiently, the scayenger-wOrk Of the
system, which is as important as its sustcnta-
ton. must be imperfeetly done The intestines
are the waste pipes of the animal structure,
and yOu might as well expect a city To be
healthy with its sewers clogged up or IN ruins,
as hope for strength and yigor in the human
physique when its main diSchsrging organs are
in an unnatural condition.
Constipation, bilious collie. cholera mOrbus,
dysentery inflammation Of the bowels, and IN
deed all intestinal diseases, however different
in their types and symptoms have their phi
mary source in a want of tone in the membrane
which lines the alimcntary and excretory pas
sages. The irritation which produces iux IL
inst as much the result of weakness as the tor
por which causes cOstiyeness. Diarrhea is the
direct consequence of loss of retentive power,
and constipation of loss of explosive power;
