II this particular season, when the weather
is as changeable as the wind-when the most ro
bust constitutions are attacked and undermined
and when feeble systems are shattered and un-
nerved, it is absolutely necessary that scientific
principles should be brought to the aid of Ma
tule in order to avert the contraction of those
diseases that usually become seated and fixed
from the continuous changes referred to. Of all
the discoveries yet made, none seem to answer
the purpose SO well as BAKERS BITTERS, for
while other remedies have been tried and failed,
this medicine has proved to be the only panacea
for Dyspepsia, Nervousness, General Debility,
Collie, Sour Stomach, Colds and Consumption in
its incipient stages. Prepared solely of vegeta-
Bile extracts, and SO admirably compounded as to
act at once upon the Liver, Digestive organs,
Blood and Mind, it drives out Impurities in
creases the Appetite, improves the Digestion,
strengthens the Lungs, and so tones up the inner
man as to render it impervious to ordinary colds.
AS family medicine, it has no equal, and needs
only to be tried to recommend itself.
