Unde fined Ailments,

There are many ailments, trying in their nature,
but the symptoms OF which are not sufficiently spe.
cific to enable physicians to classify them under
any particular head As a general rule they arise
from general debility of the whole organization
but ther primary cause in at least three cases out Of
five is lack of brisk vital action in the stomach and
liver. Stimulate and tone the relaxed digestive and
secretve organs and bodily ease, health and vigor
will follow the treatment, Among all the medi-
cines which have been recommended as conductive
to this end, none has been administered with such
uniform and entire success as HOSTETTER'S
S rOMACH BITTERS
Its ingredients were selected from the vegetable
kingdom, originally, with view to the IMMIGRATION
of the physique and the constitution, and also for
their anti-bilious and slightly laxative properties.
Twenty odd years Of experience has proved that
these herbal restoratives were wisely chosen and

peacnape testimony, which fairly eclipses that of
