August is Invariably an unhealthy month, and
the doE-days are universally quoted as ia
healthy season. Diseases more frequently ter
inmate fatally at this time than any other, ow-
ing to the relaxation Of the system. This is
therefore, the proper time osee remedy that
will recuperate the strength ard fOrtify the
system against the attacks Of disease. Expert.
ence nus demonstrated the fact that HOSTEL
TIERS STOMACH BITTERS is the best
medicine used te accomplish thi: desirable ob-
ject BY its use the appetite is increased, d.
gestion promoted, all feelings Of depression re.
moved, and the vital functions restored. The
afflicted should avoid all Pernicious alcoholiG
preparations purpor;ing TO be tonics ant resto-
ratiyes. as they only afford temporary exhilira-
ton, and::eventualy entail dangerous, # not "a
tal, results. This Is never the case with HOS
LETTERS STOMACH BITTERS. They af-
ord permanent benefit and sootho the nerves
without reaction following their use. lTho
weak and debiltatcd, by its aid, awake TO
sense Of the enjoyment Of life, and they are
enabled once moro to take their accustomed Po-
sitions in society. HOSTETTER'S BIrTERS
are now considered the standard remedy for all
diseases arising from an impurity Of the blood.
They are manufactured in great quantities, and
there is scarcely city or hamlet on the habit
able globe where they may moi be found.
