The Popular Tonic of the Age.-The day
has gone by when n medicine without merit
could command and retain the confidence of
the world. Advertising induces the public to
try many things. but in this shrewd and
thoughtful age. words will not suffice without
proofs, and it is by the exercise of their private
Judgment men determine the relative value of
the various articles recommended to their no
tice through the business columns Of news
papers. Hostetter's Stomach Bitters has now
been subjected to this searching ordeal for
more than eighteen years, and the result is
that it stands at the head Of the class Of rene
dies TO which it belongs. 1t has distanced and
lived down innumerable competitors, and is
to-day the Standard Vegetable Tonic Of the
western world. The happy effects which have
followed its use in cases of dyspepsia, bilious
ness, nervous affections. intermittent feyers
and general debility. and as a constitutional
invigorant, have entitled it to universal con
fdence. Nothing can ever shake its reputa-
ton, for it is based on the individual expe-
riences of tens Of thousands Of witnesses.

Of every profession. occupation and class.
There is not a city, town or settlement in the
United States where it is not a medicinal
staple. No druggist or general dealer would
consider his stock complete withoutfit, and
the returns of the internal revenue depart
ment show that Us sales exceed those Of any
other proprietary restorative manufactured on
this side of the Atlantic. This beneficial re-
suits derived during a long series Of years
from the use Of Hostetter's Rittsrs, have oon-
