THE Stomach.-Penaltieso Of Abusing its Fpncl
l. tiOns.-Indigeston its Prevention and Care
Sir Ashley Cooper, the lannon's English sur-
geon, once said that no man ought to be aware
from his sensations, that he had stomach
Alas how many thousands of Americans are
painfully and almost incessantly reminded Of
the existence of that organ! DR.. Franklml
Conversation with the Gout was not accom-
panied by more unpleasant twinges than sra
experienced by countless host of dyspeptics
every day. a,
| In ma6y dyspeptic cases the sufferers have
chiefly themselves to blame. The digestive
apparatus is not composed of gutta peTeha, or
of horn, but of delicate integuments, and it
ought, inasnuch as it supplies the whole body
with nOurishment, to receive some degree OF
consideration. But it seldom does The stom.
ach is not unfrequently treated with the most
irrational ingratitude; aud il it avenges its
abuses by torturing the abuser, the verdict Of
impartial justice must be, Served INN right.'
But. although it is easy enough to superin-
duce indigestion by deliberately violating tho
hygienic laws which animals without the gift
of reason instinctively observe, the mere re-
turn to a more regular and rational course Of
| life seldom, if ever, cures the evil. The tone
| of the stomach must be restored and diet and
regimen will not of themselves effect this OBJ
ject. The only sure resource, in such cases
and very pleasant and palatable resource il
isis Hostetter's Stomach Bitters.
Indigestion, in its chronic phase Of DYsPRp-
| STA, is believed to be more prevalent in fia
United States than in any other country, and
though often brought oD by reckless disre-
gard of the conditions upon which perfect
| assimilation of the food taken into the stOrn-
| ach depends, is also rcferable to many other
causes. Grief and anxiety, lack OF proper ex'
ercise, inordidate toll, excessive mental appli-
cation. exposure to sudden alteTnations of heat
| or cold. insufficient or unwholesale diet, the
exhaIations from marshy lands, the efiluvia
from uncleanly streets and overcrowded dwell
! ings, and whatever else tends to depress tho
vital energies, have tendency to paralyzc the
organs of digestion. These are evils INSOFAR
| BILE from the lot of thousands; and, since thiE
is the case common prudence dictates that
their effects should, if possible, be guarded
against by reinforcing and reinVigorlting thg
wonderful mechanical and chemical apparatns
which furnishes sustenance to every part ef
the system If the stomach is wrong, all IL
watch with an injured handspring to keep tris
time, as to suppose that any OF the functions
of the body can go OH regularly and health
fully when the stomach is out of order. ..sa..
1t is obvious, therefore, that the grand object
| of all persons whose avOcatiOns are unfay0ra-,
BILE to health, or who are subjected, from any
cause whatever to debilitating Influences,
should be to increase the vigor and activity OF
the qreat assimilating, DEMONSTRATING organ. No
| tonic has vet been discovered which accom-
olishes this object so certainly, so Fapi1ly, so
| safely, and so agreeably as HOstetters Bit
ters. By timely resort to this pure medi-
Gated stimulant, dyspepsia may always be pre-
vented; and by its persistent use that aftiict-
ing disease may always be cured. The asser-
! ton has been made that it is incurable. This
! is an nnmitigated and cruel falsehoOd Let no
dyspeptic believe it for moment. An uRbroken

Of a doubt, that HOstetter's Stomach Bitters
are specific for dyspepsia IN al IT'S rdrew

comprises hundreds of individuals of the high

This Famous Vegetable Stomachic differs
in one important regard from every other be-
fore the public. 1t is not an irritant. 1t does
not, like the fiery tinctures of the Pharmaco-
pdia excite the nervous system. On riie con-
trary, its effect is to calm physical irritation
while it cheers. Its effect upon the coats Of
the stomach is balsamic not infammatory, and
it does not unduly stimulate either the heart
or the brain. ,'.f
| Finally, it is the one thing needful for tho
prevention and cure of Indigestion; and nothing
will supplyits place. The Bitters as regulating
medicine. The excretory organs are safety valves
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. 1t is, therefore, obvious that
| if the bowels do not perform their allotted
tasks efficiently, the scayenger-w0rh Of tho
| system, which is IA important az its sustenta-
| tion, must be imperfectly done. The intestines
| are the waste pipes of the animal structure,

in their types and symptoms, have their pri-

which lines the alimentary and excretory pas
sages. The irritation which produces tiuX 10
