what does Reason say!

The little mongoose when bitten by a
deadly serpent resorts to q certain plant,
eats of it, and escapes the effect Of the
poison. That is instinct. Human beings
on the other hand, must depend on reason
and experience in selecting the means of
protecting health and life against %unwhole-
some Influences. Now, what does reason
say ON this vital subject? Does it not tell
Us that to invigorate and purify the sys-
tenn is the best way to protect 1t against
the invisible poison which generates dis
eases Surely it does. The next question
is, what guide shalt we follow in choosing
a medicinal safeguard p Reason replies let
your monitor be experience. Well, the
experience Of eighteen years comprised
in one unbroken series Of satisfactory
testimonials assures US that Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters possess strengthing, reg''-
lating and antseptic properties which are
not combined in the same happy proper
tions in any other preparation extant.
This therefore is the antidote to which
reason bids as resort when our health is
imperi|fed either by the malaria which pro-
duces epidemic disorders, or by any other
cause, whether inherent and constitutional
or connected with our habits, occupations
and pursuits.
The venom of a n~oxious reptile is scarce,
" more subtle and dangerous than that
Which turks in foul air and impure water.
To escape the feversr bilious disorders,
disturbances of the bowels. and other Sc
rious maiadies produced by these insalu-
brious elements, it is absolutely necessary
that the stomach and all the secretive Or
CANS should be, so to speak, in a robust
condition. Upon the amount of resistance
which the vital system can oppose to the
deIeterious influences that assail it, the
safety of the health depends, and it is be-"
cause the VEGETABLE Nv&nRANT
imparts energy and regularity to the most
important functions of the body, that it
can be recommended and guaranteed as an
invaluable preventive medicine.
