/ LET US PROTECT OURSELVES

LET US PROTECT OURSELVES,
The physical structure of the strongest
human being is vulnerable everywhere.
Our bodies are endowed by nature with a
certain negative power, which protects
them, to some extent, FROM unwholesome
influences; but this protection is imper-
feet, and cannot be safely relied on in un-
healthy regions, or under circumstances
Of more than ordinary danger. There
fore, it is wisdom, 1t is prudence, it is COM
mon sense to provide against such con-
tingencies, by taking an antidoto in
advance; in other words, by fortifying the
system with HOsTETTEf's STOMACH
BITTERS-the most complete protective
against all the epidemic and endemic ma
ladies that has ever been administered in
any country. AS remedy for dyspepsia
there is no medicine that will compare
with it, Whoever suffers the pangs of in
digestion anywhere on the face of the
earth where Hostetter's Stomach Bitters
can be proc ured, does 30 voluntarily; for,
as surely as truth exists, this invaluable
tonic and alternative would restore his dis
ordered stomach to a healthy condition.
To the nervous it is also especially re-
commended, and in cases of confirmed
constipation it also affords speedy and per-
manent relief - -.
In oil cases of fever and ague the Bit
ters is more potent than any amount of
quinine, while the most dangerous cases
OF bilious fever yield to it's wonderful pro-
perties. Those who have tried the medi-
cine will never use another, for any of the
ailments which the Hostetter Bitters pro-
fesses to subdue. To those who have not
made the experiment, we cordially recon-
mend an early application to the Bitters
whenever they are stricken by disease of
the digestive organs. July Ct
