IuosTETTER" celebrated STOMACH

BITTERS-Safety for the Healthy, and Health
for the Sckly. The Bitters. as a means of OBJ
WAITING the effects Of exposure, irregular diet,
sudden changes of temperature, and miasma;
as a regulating medicine for persons engaged
in sedentary pursuits; as a remedy for Dyspep-
sin. Feverand Ague and Bilious Complaints
as cure for habitual Constipation, and as
general corrective for all disturbances of the
Stomach, Liver. and Bowels.
With good appetite, a vigorous digestion,
a sound liver, and regular habit of body, it
is possible to brave constant exposure, to fare
coarsely to encounter violent climatic changes,
and to breathe an atmosphere charged with the
Inconvenience. But the strongest bodily
health the most elastic and vigorous constitu-
ton, will soon decline under such depressing
influences, unless sustained by artificial means.
The physical powers must be fortified against
the extra pressure, or they will break down
under t. How, then, the appetite be pre-
serued. the digestive organs be kept III good
condition, the secretiOns be healthfuny gov
erned, the regularity of the bowels be main
tained, in spite of the disturbing causes re-
ferred toi The problem puzzled the world for
centuries but it seems to have been solved at
last The inrigorating, regulating and preDtnt-
ire operation of IIostetters Stomach Bltters
produces, in the most agreeable possible man
ner, the desired result.
While the traveller, the pioneer. the miner, and
all who dwell in unhealthy locations, find meal
culable benefit from the use Of the Bltters, they
are no less valuable to persons engaged in en-
ployments which debar them from outdoor ex-
ercse. The air of close room Is almost as dele
terious as the miasma of a swamp; and to SIT III
cramped position or indeed in any position, all
day long, is more enfeebng than telling trees,
or ploughing, or excavating canals, or building
railroads. Nothing can wholly supply the place
of fresh air and muscular exercise. 1t is GER
tainly not assumed that Iiostetter's Bitters can
accomplish such miracle But they will, never
theless, do much for persons whose occupations
coniine them to the house and demand Il sitting
posture small quantity taken regularly at
stated intervals will prevent the tatulence,
pains in the stomach and right side. and ir-
regularities of the cXcrctive function, which
are otherwise the inyarable penalties of sub
iecting the sensitive machinery of the hui
man system to undue restrictions Vital
air is Hedrcn'S invgorant and this pre-
paratiOn is not offered as substitute for it
but 1t will unquestionably prevent foul air,
whether in Oycrcr0wded rooms on malarous
deserts, from producing the same deeteriOus
effects upon the system that it wonld produce
in the absence of the antidOte. Hundreds OF
letters from employees in factories, workshops,
public offices, counting houses. &C., testify to
this important fact and Messrs HOstettcr &
Smith have received numerous communications
from editors and authors, referring to the mex
pressbe relief they have experienced from
this cheering and refreshing stOmacllic when
worn down and exhausted by the labOrs of the
pen. Nor must it be forgotten in this connec-
ton that this delightful effect of the Bitters is
never followed, as is the case with all un-
medicatcd stimulants, by any nervous reaction
The pure basis of the article, and the health
full nature of the botanic elements with which
it is impregnated, render it as safe for the
brain as a cup of Congo or BOhea.
As the main object of the laws is the protec-
tion of person and property and the prevention
of crime, SO the legitimate object of medicine
is the protection of health aud the prevention
of suffering. Hence the value of Hostetters
Bitters as "a protective and prerentire agent has
been strongly dwelt upon. But it must not
be thence inferred that the remedial p0ucer of
the preparation is inferior to its efficacy as a
safeguard. In cases of dyspepsia, it is, in the
opinion of all who have tried it as remedy
for that most general of all physical Affections,
a swift and certain specific This disease is
not as many suppose, a mere disorder OF the
stomach; and no medicine that touches the
stomach only can cure 1t, though such nos
trlm may afford temporary relief. The great
digestive organ is the central position of the
disease; but it is intrenched also in the liver
and the bowels, and its outw0rks are in the
nervous system 1t must be attacked in
all these simultaneously in order TO
accomplish n radical and permanent cure.
Now, the Bitters cover, az ii were, the whole
ground. They act upon the stomach rs an IN
yigorant, reinforcing its active power; they
touch the liver and wake it from Its torpidity;
they gently relieve and regulate the bowels;
and they calm and brace the nervous system.
Thus does this great Compound Remedy--em-
bracing the four properties of a tonic, correc-
tive. an aperent and a nervine--carry the
enemy by a coup-de-mdia. The effect is patent
to the world. and there is no necessity for
making mystery about the modus operdndi.
The difference between lIostctter's Btters
and the fungus limitations and would-be rivals
that spring up in its track, is that it actually
accomplishes what they promise but fail to per
form. 1t does cure Dyspepsia, and they don't;
that's all. II is the old story Of the frog and
the OK; and the result of invidious imitation
usually amounts to the same thing in modern
