WHAT DOES REASON SAY

The little mongoose when bitten by q deadly
serpent resorts 10 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 the I'M
wholesome influences. Now, what does reason
say on this vital subject Does it not tell us that
to invigorate and purify the system is the best
way to protect it against the invisible poison
which generates disease? Surely it does. The
next question is, what guide shall we follow in
choosing medicinal safeguard? Reason replies
let your monitor be experience. Well, the ex-
perience of eighteen years comprised in one I'M
broken series of satisfactory testimonials assures
us that Hostetter's Stomach Bitfers possess
Strengthening, regulating and antiseptic proper
ties which are not combined in the same happy
proportions in any other preparation extant.-
This therefore is the antidote to which reason
bids us resort when our health is imperrilled
either by malaria which produces epidemic dis
orders, or by any other cause, whether inherent
and constitutional or connected with our habits,
occup .tions and pursuits.
The venom of a noxious reptile is scarcely
none subtle and dangerous than that which turks
in the foul air and impure water. To escape the
fevers, bilious disorders, disturbances of the
bowels, and other serious maladies produced by
these insalubrous elements, it is absolutely ne
eessary that the stomach and all the secretve or
gans should be, so to speak, in robust condi-
ton Upon the amount of resistance which the
vital system can oppose to the deleterous inf1u
ences that assail it, the safety of health depends,
and it is because the Great Vegetable Invigo-
rant imparts energy and regularity to the most
important functions of he body, that it can be
recommended and guaranteed as an Invaluable
preventive medicine.
