Of the existence OF that orgsn d.. Frankiin's
Convers siion with the Gout was not aeccmpan-
led by more unpleasant. twings than are exper-
fenced by a countless boat of dyspepsics every
day.
In many dyspeptic cases the sufferers have
chiefly h themselves TO blame. The digestive
sppsrstus is not composed Of gutts psrchs. or
Of horn, but Of delicate integuments. and 1t
ought, inasuueh a. It supplies the whole body
With nourishment. to receive nome degree Of
censideration. But il seldom does. The stom-
ach is not unfrequently treated with the most
irrational isgrasi.ud.; and if il sveuaes ito
abuse by torturing its sbuser, the verdict Of
impartial justice must be, SERVED him right "
But. although il 10 easy enough to superin-
duce indigestion by deliberately violating the
hygisnic laws which animals without the gin Of
reason instiuctively observe, the mere return
TO . more regular and rational course Of life sci
dom, fever, cures the evil. The tone Of the
stomach must be restored ; and diet and regi-
men will not Of themselves effect this object.
The only sure resource, in such cases and .
very pleasant and palatabls resource il is--is
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters.
Indigestion, in its chronic phase of Dyspep-
sia, is believed TO be more prevalent in the
United State then in any other country, and
though often brought on BY q reckless disregard
ofthe conditions upon which . perfect sssimi-
lation ofthe food taken into the stomach de-
ponds, is also refersble to many other causes.
Griefand anxiety, lack Of proper exercise, in
ordidate toll, excessive mental application, e1-
posuret to sudden alienation Of heat or cold. in
sufficient or unwholesale diet. the exhslstious
from marshy lands, the efauvia from uncleanly
streets and ov~ercrowded dwellings,. and what.
ever else tends to depress the vital energies,
have . tendency TO paradise the organs Of diges
tion. these are evils inseperable from the lot
Of thousands ; and, since this is the case, CON-
mon prudence:dictates that their effects should
if possible, be guarded against BY rs-euforcins
and reinvigorating the wonderful mechanical
and chemical apparatus which furnishes susie
nance to every part of the system. II the stom.
ach is wrong. all ITS wrong, II would be as reas

1t is obvious, therefore. that the grand objes,
OF all persons whose avocations are unfavorable
to health, or who are subjected, from any cause
whatever, TO debilita.ing influences, should b.
20 increase the vigor aud activity of The grea
astonishing, life sustaining organ. No tonic
has yet been discovered which accomplished
this object so certainly, so rapidly. so safely
and SO agreeabiy as Hostetter's Bitters. BY Z
timely resort to this pure medicine stimulant,
dyspepsia may always be prevented and by its
persistent use that affecting disease may always
be cured. The assertion has been made that il
is incurable. This is an unmitigated and cruel
iAlsehood. Let no dyspeptic believe it for a
mo nent. An unbroken chain of air. matory
testimony, extending over n period OF seven.
teen years, proves, beyond e shadow Of a doubt
that Aoste.tsr's stomach Bitters are . specific
for dyspepsia in all its various types, and even
when hereditary and constitutional The rec
ord is open to all who choose TO consult il, and
the list of witnesses comprises hundreds II in
dviduals Of the highest standing in society,
against whose trustworthiness no caviler will
venture TO wag a finger.
This Famous Vegetable Stomachic differs in
one important regard from every other before
the public. Ii is not an ~irritant. II does not
like the fiery tincturss of the Pharmaeopoeia,
excite the nervous system. On the contrary,
its effect is to calm ply steal irritation while il
cheers. lts effect upon the coates Of the stom
ach is balsamic. not %iufamitory. end 1t does not
unduly stimulate either the heart or the
brain.
Finally, il is the one thing needful for the
prevention and cure Of indigestion and moth
ing will supply its place. The Bitters are n reg
ulatins medicine. The excretory organs are
safety valves Of the system. Through the DOW
els, 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. It is,
therefore,. obvious that If the bowe.s do.not per
form their allotted tasks efficiently, the scnven-
g%cr-work Of the sysien. which is AS i'm ,ortant
as its sustentation, must be imperfectly done.
The intcstines are the waste pipes OF the animal
