An Old Friend.


For many years the Press of the country mas
ehronicled the beneficial effects of Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters. Editors, authors, physicians,
merchants, officers Of the army and navy, chem
lists, councillors, ministers Of the gospel, in short,
a great cloud of witnesses of every profession,
trade and calling, have testified to its efficacy as a
tonic and regulating medicine. The names and
statements of these Witnesses have been published
in the public prints. Many of them are we'll
known to the whole public. Their testimony has
never been challenged or impugned. This
OLD FRIEND
has been tried, and pronounced, on the authority
of those whose lives and health It has preserved, q
pure, harmless and eminently salutary prepare
ton. Attempts have been made to rival it. They
have failed. There is nothing equal to the enjoy
ment experienced by the afflicted when using this
valuable specific. Its mild tone, its sure and Wig

cleansing Of the entire human body,

nothing but measures to steal money from the
