HOSTETTERs celebrated Stomach Biz.
IL ters.-Safety for the Healthy, and Health

, Waiting the effects OF exposure, irregular diet
: sudden changes of temperature, and miasma;
!! as regulating medicine for persons engaged
in sedentary pursuits; as remedy for Dyspep-
sia Fever and Ague, and Bilious Complaints:
as cure for habitual Constipation, aud as a
general corrective for all disturbances of the
Stomach, Liver, and Bowels.
With a good appetite, vigorous digestion,
a sound liver, and regular habit of body, il
is possible to brave constant exposure to fare
coarsely, to encounter violent climatic changes
and to breathe an atmosphere charged with tho
seeds Of epidemic complaints without serious
the most elastic and vigorous constitution, will
soon decline under such depressing influences,
unless sustained by artificial means. The physi-
cal powers must be fortified against the extra
pressure, or they will break down under il.
How, then, can the appetite be preserred, the
digestive organs be kept in good condition, the
secretions lie BEAUTIFULLY governed, the regu-
larity of the bowels be maintained, in spite Of
| the disturbing causes referred tot The prob
lem puzzled the world for centuries; but il
seems to have been solved at last. The in
| rigorating, regulating and preventive operation
of Hostetters Stomach Bitters produces, in the
most agreeable possible manner, the desired
| result.
While the traveller, the pioneer, the miner,
and all who dwell in unhealthy locations, find

they are no less valuable to persons engaged in
employments which debaI them from outdoor
exercise The air of close room is almost as de-
leterious as the miasma of a swamp; and to sitin
a crampcd position, or indeed in any position, all
day long, is more enfeebling than telling trees,
| or ploughing or excavating canals, or building
| railroads. Nothing can wholly supply the place
of fresh air and muscular exercise. Ii is GER
| tainly not assumed that HOstetter's Bitters can
| accomplish such miracle. But they will, never
theless, do much for persons whose occupations
cOnfne them to the house and demand a sitting
posture. A small quantity taken regularly at
stated intervals will prevent the fatulence,
pains in the stomach and right side, and r-
regularities Of the excretive function, which
are otherwise the invariable penalties of sub
jecting the sensitive machinery of the hn-
man system to undue restrictions Vital
air is Hearen's invigorant; and this pre-
parati0n is not offered as a substitute for IL;
but it will unquestiOnably prevent foul air.
whether in overcrOwded rooms or malariOus
deserts from producing the same deleterions
effects upon the system that it would produce
in the absence of the antidote. Hundreds OF
letters from employees in factories, workshops,
public offices. counting houses, &C., testify 10
this important fact; and Messrs. Hostetter a.
Smith have received numerous communications
from editors and authors referring to the mex
pressibe relief they have experienced from
this cheering and refreshing stomachic when
worn down and exhausted by the labors of the
pen. Nor must it be forgotten in this cOnnec-
ton that this delightful effect of the Bitters is
never followed, as is the case with all unmed-
icated stimulants, by any nervous reaction.
The pure basis of the article, and the health
full nature of the botanic elements with which
it is mpregnated render it as safe for the
brain rs a cup of Congou or Bohea
AS the main object of the laws is the protec-
ton of person and property and the prevention
of crime, so the legitimate object of medicine
is the protection of health and the prevention
of suffering. Hence the value of Hostetters
a
been strongly dwet upon. But it must not
be thence inferred that the remedial porer OF
the preparation is inferior to its efficacy as
safeguard. In cases of dyspepsia, it is, in the
opinion of all who have tried it as n remedy
for that most general Of all physical Affections,
a swift and certain specific. This disease 10
not, as many suppose, mere disorder of the
stomach; and no medicine that touches the
stomach only can cure it, though such a nos
trum may afford temporary relief. The great
digestive organ is the central position of the
disease; but it is mtrenched also in the lives
and the bowels, and its outwOrks are in tho
nervous system. Ii must be attacked In
all these simultaneously in order 10
accomplish radical and permanent cure.
Now, the Bitters cover, as it were, the whole
ground. They act upon the stomach in
vigomnt, 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 does this great Compound Remedy-em-
bracng the four properties of a tonic, a corTec-
tive, an aperient, and neryine-carry the
enemy by cOup-de-mdin. The effect is patent
TO the world. and there is no necessity for
making mystery about the moduS operdHdi.
The difference between Hostetter's Bittels
and the fungus limitations and would-be rivals
that spring up in its track, is that il actually
accomplishes what they promise but fail to per-
form Ii does cure Dyspepsia, and they don't:
that's all. 1t is the old story of the frog and
the OK; and the result of invidious imitation
usually amounts to the same thing in modern
