The problem puzzled the world for centuries;
but il seems to have been solved at last. Inc
ipvioorating, regulating and preventive oper-
otion of Uostetter's Stomach Bltters produces,
in the most agreeable possible manner the
desired result.
While the traveller the pioneer, the miner
and all who dwell in unhealthy localities, find
;rcolculable benefit from the use of the Btters,
tbev are no less valuable to persons engaged
oh 1obar than from ont
door exercise. The air of close room is almost
rs deleterious as the miasma OF swamp ana
to sis in a cramped position or indeed III any
position, all day long, is more enfeeDllng thah
telling trees, or plowing, or excavatlnS canaIs'
or building. Nothing can wholly supply tne
place of fresh air and muscular exercise. III Is
certainly not assumed that IlOstetters Bltters
| can accomplish such a miracle. But they VIII,
nevertheless, do much for persons whose occu-
nations 'confne them to the house and demand
a sitting posture. A small quantity taken regu-
larly at stated intervals will prevent the fiatu-
lence. pains in the stomach and right side, and
irregularities of the excretye function, which
are otherwise the invariable penalties of subject
| ing the sensitive machinery of the human
system to undue restrictions. Vital air Is
Heavens inyigorant and this preparation Is
not offered as q substitute for 1t; but 1t un-
ouestonably prevents foul air, whether in
| oyer-crowded rooms or malariOus districts from
| producing the same deletcriOus effects upon the
system that it would produce in the absence of
the antidote. Hundreds of letters from en-
! ployes in factories. workshops, public offices,
| counting rooms, &c, testify To the important
| fact, and Messrs. Hostctter & Smith have re-
| ceived numerous communications from editors
and authors, referring to the inexpresslble re-
lief they have experienced from this cheering
and refreshing stomachc when worn down and
exhausted 10y the labors of the pen. Nor must
it be forgotten in this connection that this de-
lightfu effect of the Bitters is never followed,
as is the case with all unmedcated stimulants,
by any nervous reaction. The pure basis of
the article and the healthful nature of the
botanic elements with which it is impregnatcd
render il as safe for theI brain as Il cup of
| Congo or Bohea.
As the main object of the laws is the protcc-
tion of persons or property, and the prevention
of crime. so tho legitimate object of medicine
is the protection of health and the prevention
of suffering. Hence the value of Hostetter's
Bitters as a protective and preventive agent has
been strongly dwelt upon. But it must not be
then inferred that the remedial power of the
preparation is inferior to its efficacy as a safe
guard In cases Of dyspepsia, it is, in the opin-
ion of ali who have tried it as a remedy for that
most general. Of all physical Affections swi!!
and certain specific The disease is not, as many
SUPPOSE mere disorder of the stomach and no
medicine that touches the stomach only can cure
it, though such a nOstrum may afford temporary
relief. The great digestive organ is the central
position of lthe disease; but it is ntrenched
also in the liver and the bowels, and its out
works are in the nervous system. 1t must be
attacked in all these simultaneously, in ordert0
accomplish radical and permanent cure Now,
the Btters cover, as it were, the whole ground.
They act upon the stomach as an invigoant,
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 this great Compound Remedy-embracing
the four properties of a tonic, corrective, an
aperient, and a neryine-carry the enemy by
coup de main The effect is patent to the world,
and there is no necessity for making a mys-
terry about the mOduS operdnd. The difference
between Hostetter's Bitter and the fungus inn
itati0ns and woud-bc rivals that spring up III
its track, is that it actually accOmplishes what
they promise but fail to perform. 1t does cure
dyspepsia, and they don't; that's all. 1t is the
old story of the frog and the OK; and the re-
suit of invidious imitation usually amounts to
the same thing in modern truth as in the
ancient fable.
As q specific for the various types of fever
and ague and remittent fcvers, the Bittors
have been found all that could be desired. In
