his work on Diseases of Females, says; 6 Bear

in red corpucles, and the known property OF 'r0n

composition of English Female Bitters, combined
with powerful vegetable tonics of rare qualities.

piney woods of Mississippi, is found CERTAIN

This root we have obtained, gave it fair test IN

sufficient to act upon the liver and keep the DOW

WHAT DOES REASON SAY?

The little mongoose when bitten by deadly
serpent resorts to 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 tell 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 Bitters possess
strengthening, regulating and antiseptic proper
ties which are not combined in the same happy
proportions in any other preparation extapt.-
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 noxious reptile is scarcely
more 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 naladies produced by
these insalubrious elements, is absolutely ne
eessary that the stomach and all the secretive 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 infu-
ences that assail H. the safety Of health depends,
