cislly those in delicate health suffer much ffom
debility, occasioned by tho humid heat 81
feel the want of wholesome invigorant N
fact, necessity for something to recrai! thr
exhausted system is experienced more or less.
by everyb dy, AID ths only question is, 1rhat
that something aoiN be. With those who have
tested the effect OF t;u>!etter's Stomach bl!ter;
on themselves, or have observed its effect! o.,
others, this question will not be in doubt for 8
single moment Its tonic and regulating oper-
ton, and its agency IN creating healthy appe

cd by all who have .ort.d to this unequalled
vegetable invigorsnt and corrective. among tue
most extraordinary therapeutic wonders OF
modern times. It should be taken 1T this sea-
son as a safeguard against the epidemic dis
eases which are 81 apt to attack the relaxed
