how many thousands of Americans are pain
fully and almost necessarily reminded OF the
| existapce of that organ! DR.. Franklin's Con-
| yersation with the Gout was not accompanied
by more unpleasant twinges than are expe-
ricnced by n countless host of dyspeptcs every
day.
In many dyspeptic cases the sufferers have
chiefly themselves to blame. The digestive
apparatus is not composed OF guta percha, OF
of horn. but of delicate integuments; and IL
ought. inasmuch as it supplies the whole body
with nourshment, to receive some degree OF
consideration. But it seldom does. The stom-
ach is not unfrequenty treated with the most
irrational ingratitude; and if it avenges It's
abuses by torturing the abuser the verdict OF
impartial justice must be, Served nm rlght'
Bnt, although it is easy enough to superln-
duce indigestion by deliberately violating the
! hygienic laws which animals without the giit
of reason instinctively observe, the mere return
TO n more regular and rational course OF lie
seldom, if ever, cures the evil. The tone OF
the stomach must he restored; and diet ana
regimen will not of themselves effect TINS op-
iect. The only sure resource in such cases
and very pleasant and palatable resource u
isis IIostetter's Stomach Bitters.
Indigestion. in its chronic phase OF Dyspep
sia, is believed to be more prevalent III the
United States than in any other country ana
| though often brought on 10y reckless dlsre-
card of the conditions upon which perfect
assimilation,of the food taken into the stomach
depends. is also referable TO many other causes
Grief and anxiety, lack of proper exercise, IN
ordinate toll, excessive mental application, eX-
posure 10 sudden alterations of heat or cod
insufficient or unwh0lesOme diet, the eXhala-
tions from marshy lands, the efuva from un-
cleanly streets and over-crowded dwellings, ana
whatever else tends to depress the vital ener-
gies. have tendency to paralyse the organs OF
digestion. These are evils inseparable from the
lot of thousands and since this is the case
common prudence dictates that their effects
should. if possible, be guarded against 10y rein
| forcing and reinvigorating the wonderful me-
chanical and chemical apparatus which fur
| nishes sustenancc to every part OF the system
II the stomach is wrong, all is wrong. 1t
would be as reasonable to expect watch with
an injured handspring to keep true time as to
suppose that any of the functions OF the body
can 90 on regularly aud beautifully when the
stomach is out of order
II is obvious, therefore, that the grand OBJ
icct of all persons whose ayocatons are un-
favorable to health, or who are subjected, from
any cause whatever TO facilitating influences,
should be to increase the vig0r and activity OF
the great dssimHaGHg. lVe sustaining organ No
tonic has yet been discovered which accom-
pli,hcs this object So certainly, so rapidly, so
safely and 50 agrecably, as lIOstetters Bittcrs.
By timely resort to this pure indicated slim
ulant. dyspcpsa,may always be prevented; and
by its persistent use that affecting disease may
always he cured. The assertion has been made
that 10 is incurabc. This is an unmitigated
and cruel falschood. Let no dyspepuc believe
il for a moment. An unbrokcn chain of affirm
atory testimony, extending over n period of
seventeen years, proves, beyond n shadow of
doubt. that IIostctter's stomach Bittors are a
specific for dyspepsia in its various types, and
even when hereditary and constitutional. The
record is open TO NIL who choose to consult IT,
and the list of witnesses comprises hundreds OF
individuals of the highest standing III society
against whose trustworthincss Nc cayilcr will
Venture to wag a finger
This famous Vegetable Stomachic differs in
one important regard from every other before
the public-t is not an urtaHL II does not,
like the fiery tiuctuIc, of the PharmacopWia,
excite the nervous system On the contrary,
it, effect is to calm physical irritation, while 1t
cheers. IL, effect upon the coats of the stomach
is balsamic, not inGammatory, and IL does not
mduly stimulate either the heart or the brain.
Finally, it is the one thing needful fol the
prevention and cure of Indigestion, and no.
thing will supply It's place. The Bitters are
regulating medicine. The cXccretory organs
are safety-valycs 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
scavengcr- work of the system, which is as inn
/ portant rs its sustcuation, must bc impcricctly
done. The mtcstincs are the waste pipes of
the animal structure; and you might rs well
expect a city to bo healthy with It's sewers
clogged up or in ruins rs hope for strength
and vigor in the human physique when its
main discharging organs are in al unnatural
condition.
! Constipation bilious collie, cholera moibus,
dysentery, inflammation OF the bowels, and in
deed all intestinal diseases, however different
in their types and symptoms, have their prlm-
airy source i'm a want of tone IN the membrane
which lines the alimentary and excretory pas
/ sagcs. The irritation which produces n tuN is
| inst AS much the result of weakness as the
| torpor which causes costyeness. Darrhca ~
! the direct consequence of n loss of rctcntlvc
! power, and constipation of a loss of oNpulsiye
! power; the effect of violent purgatlycs IN
either contingency is to lower. instead OF re
newing, the tone of the already weakened
! organs. - 'F
