THE sToMAcH-P Penalties Of Abusing It's
Observation-Disclosures its Prevention and
Cure.-Sir Ashley Cooper, tie lannon's English
surgeon, once said that no man ought to be
aware, from his sensations, that he had stom-
ach. Alas how many thousands of Americans
are painfully and almost necessarily reminded
Of the existence of that organ DR.. Frank
Inns Conversation with the Gout was not &C
companied by more unpleasant twinges than
are experienced by countless host OF dyspep-
tics every day.
In many dyspeptic cases the sufferers have
chiefly themselves to blame. The digestive
apparatus is not composed OF gutta- percha, or
of horn, but of delicate integuments; and it
ought, inasmuch as it supplies The whole body
with nourishment, to receive some degree Of
consideration. But it seldom does. The
stomach is not unfrequently treated with the
most irrational ingratitude; and, if it avenges
its abuses by torturing the abuser, the verdict
of impartial justice must be, Served him
right.n
Rut. although it is easy enough to superin-
duce indigestion by deliberately violating the
hygienic laws which animals without the gift
of reason instnctively observe, the nero re-
turn to q 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 elect this OBJ
iect. The only sure resource in such cases
and very pleasant and palatable resource it
isis Hostetter's Stomach Btters.
Indigestion, in its chronic phase Of DYsPEP-
STA. is believed to DO more prevalent in the
United States than in any other country; and
though often brought on by reckless disre-
gard of the conditions upon which perfect
assimilation Of tho 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 to sudden alterations of heat or cold,
insufficient or unwholesome Diet the exhala-
tons from marshy lands, the effiuyia from un-
clearly streets and over-crowded dwellings, and
whatever else tends to depress the vital ener-
| gics, have tendency to paralyze 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 by re-
enforcing and reinyigorating the wonderful
mechanical and chemical apparatus which fur
nishes sustenance to every part OF the system.
! If the stomach is wrong, all is wrong. 1t
would be as reasonable to expect a watch with
an injured handspring to keep true time as to
suppose that any Of the functions of the body
can go on regularly and BEAUTIFULLY when the
stomach is out of order.
1t is obvious, therefore, that the grand OBJ
iect of all persons whose avocations are I'M
favorable to health, or who are subjected from
any cause whatever, to facilitating influences,
should be to increase the vigor and activity of
| the great dssimilGting, life sustaining organ.
| No tonic has yet been discovered which ac-
cOmplishes this object so certainly, so rapidly,
SO safely, and so agreeably as Hostetter's Bit
ters BY timely resort to this pure medi-
Gated stimuiaht dyspepsia may always be pre-
vented; and by its persistent Use that afiiict-
ing disease may always be cured. The asser-
| ton has been made that it is incurable. This
| is an unmitgated and cruel falsehood. Let no
dyspectic believe it for moment. An an
| broken chain Of G6irmatOry testimony, extend-
| ing Orer period of serenteen gears, proves,
beyond shddOw Of DOUBT that Hostetter's
| Stomach Bitfers are specific for dyspepsia ga
! ;Ig .nrio"e fIvnos mud EVEN WHEN HEREDITARY
| AND CONSTITUTION. The record is open to
all who choose to consult it, and the list of
witnesses comprises hundreds of individuals of
the highest standing in society, against whose
trustwOrthiness no cayiler will venture to wag
finger.
This Famous Vegetable StOmachic differs in
one important regard from every other before
the public. 10 is not an irritant 1t does not,
| like the fiery tinctures of the Pharmacop9a,
excite the nervous system. On the contrary,
its effect is to calm physical irritation
while it cheers. Its effect upon the coats of
| the stomach is balsamic, not inhammatory and
| it does not uaduly stimulate either the heart
or the brain.
Finally, it is the one thing needful for the
prevention and cure of indigestion; and nothing
will supply its place The Bitters are a regu-
lating medicine. The excretory organs are
safety-valves of the system. Through the
bowels, the pores, and the kidneys are dis
charged the refuse of the materials which sus-
tain 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 eff
ficiently, the Scavenger-work of the system,
which is as important as its sustenation, must
be mperfectly done. The intestines are the
waste-ppes of the animal structure; and you
| might as well expect city to be healthy with
its sewers clOgged up or in ruins as hope for
strength and vigor in the human physique
when its main discharging organs are in an
unnatural condition.
Constipation, bilious collie, cholera mOrbus,
dysentery, inflammation of the bowels, and in
deed all intestinal diseases, however different
in their types and symptoms, have their pn-
mary source in want of tone in the men,
hrone which lines the alimentarv and axcra
