ITO DYsPEPTIC SUFFERERS.

be classed all the varieties or indigestion. lts
symptoms are so various, and differ so much in
different individuals, that it is almost impossi-
BILE to classify them. In fact, some OF them are
utterly indescribable. 1t may be safely asserted,
however, that haI1 the diseases OF mankind
spring from ii disordered condition OF the
stomach; and that the other half, whatever
their origin. react upon that sensitive and i'm
portant organ. Among the ordinary indications
of dyspepsia are fatulence, bloated and full
feeling about the stomach and abdomen imme-
diately after eating a gnawing sensation, or
sense of hOlowness at the pit of the stomach,
between meals heavy, dull feeling in the
head; feeble or unsteady appetite; occasional
nausea restlessness during the night, and
weary, unrefreshed feeling on rising in the
morning palpitation of the heart; depression
of mind, sometimes amounting to monomanla;
loss of memory; confusion of thought; sour
stomach, with raising of food, and choking
sensation in the throat; dimness of the eye;
pain in the diaphragm feebleness, and dsincll-
nation for exertion, and sometimes emaciation
and cOrpse-like pallOr. These are few OF
the direct signs of dyspepsia, but as it is gen.
orally complicated with specific affections OF
the bowels, the liver, and the nerves, its vic
tins have many additional tOrments which are
technically attributed to other causes;
The best advice that can be given to any one
who has the slightest predspOsition to dyspep-
sia is to fortify his or her digestive organs by
the daily use of Hostetter's Bitters. The dls-
ease proceeds from lack of vigor In the
stomach, and this vitalizing preparation will
tone and renovate that organ. If the gastric
apparatus is in good working order, and can
perfectly dissolve and thoroughly assimilate the
food submitted to its operation, there Will be
no dyspepsia. If 1t cannot do this 1t requires
reinforcement, and the best of all reinforcing
agents should be forthwith res0rted to- The
stomach is the cOmmissariat OF the system. III
s1pples the clements of life to the whole body.
In it is prepared the material of blood, muscle,
bone, and fiber and if it fails to purvey that
material in sufficient quantity, and of proper
kind, the whole body suffers and with it the
mental faculties. Therefore, protect the Com
missariat Department. Don't let the enemy
obtain possession of it, 1t is easier to prevent
disease from getting into an organ than to expel
it after it becomes a chronic fixture. CONSIDER
the first indication of uneasiness in the stomach
as a sign that dyspepsia is preparing to attack
and battle it at once with this great expellant.
But if it is too late to prevent, remember
that it is not too late to cure. 1t is believed
that there is no case of Chronic Indigestion
that can withstand the remedial operations OF
Hostetter's Stomach Bitter's This belief Is
grounded on twelve years experience OF the
efficacy of the preparation. The first instance
of its failure to give relief is yet unchronicled.
If it ever had failed the voluminous CORE
spondence addressed to the proprietOrs from all
parts of the United States and South America,
would at least include one letter expressing
dissatisfaction. But no, there is not one. The
testimony, extending over period OF more
than q dozen years is all of the same APPROX
ing tenor. Certainly this is a sufficient warrant
for claiming that the Btters are Specific for
Indigestion in all its varieties, Fever and Ague,
Remittent Fever, Marsh Fever, and other
Malarious Diseases. The infatuation of human
nature is astonishing. Thousands of indl-
viduals whose business takes them into un-
healthy districts, where they must necessarily
breathe imprisoned air. and drink imprisoned
water neglect to provide themselves with any
antdote thereto How true is it that
GAN men think all mortal, but themselves"
These foohardy people fatter themselves
side, they can resist the influence of malaria.
Nay, even the settlers in new and insalubrous
regions are often equally remiss They either
take their periodical shalsngs and burnings rs
unavoidable dispensatiOns of Providence, or
| only seek to check them 10y inadequate and
sometimes dangerous means. And yet Hos
letters Stomach Bitters, an absolute protection
against intermittent and remittent fevers of all
types, are advertised in every local paper, and
can scarcely be unknown to any portion of the
reading public. 1t is true that the demand
for the bitters increases rapidly, and that every
season adds largely to the number of those
who acknowledge its virtues rs an accllmatmg
preparation yet there are multitudes now en-
| during living martyTdOm from Chills and
| Fever, who, at the cost of few bottles of this
irresistible tonic, might enjoy uninterrupted
health the whole year round.
No fact in medical history is better estab-
lished than the potency of the Bitters as a
safeguard against epidemic and endemic mala-
dies generated by miasma and polluted water.
No traveller in, or resident of, marshy, over
wooded or uncultvated tract of country, should
be without this unequaled tonic and disintec-
tant. The water of the Western rivers, espe-
cially that of the Mississippi and its tributaries is
most pernicous to those who have been accus-
toned to the purer element of the Eastern
and Middle States. 1t invariably sickens them
if taken into the stomach in an unmixed state.
Nor will the common tavern bar stimulants
remedy the evil. Indeed, they inevitably do
more harm than good; for, as they are uni
formly aduterated, it is only combining one
poison with another to mix them with unwhOle-
some water. But the Bitters are medicated
expressly to meet this contingency. They con-
