Trust what Time has Sanctioned.
The maxim that the voice of the people is the
voice OF the divinity, may in some cases, be open to
doubt but the testimony Of honest and enlightened
theses extending through series OF years, and
all to the same purport, is worthy of credence, ad.
mi.s OF no question. Upon such testimony the repu-
,atien Of Hosetiers Stomach Bitters as an anidote
and cure for many ailments is based. During the
twenty years that ii has been before the world, ill.,
Vulnerable preparations intended to compete with it,
have gone up like rockets, and come down like ex-
tinguished sticks. Meanwhile the progress Of thai
Incompatible tonic has been swirl and steady-al-
ways upward and onward like the eagles flight Its
introduction produced revolution in therapeutics,
and il proved TO be one Of those sslutary revolutions
that canno, go backwards. To-day Hostetter's Bit
tiers is one OF the most popular remedies in chrsten-
dom, AMI commands larger sale than any other
medicinal preparation, domestic or imported, on this
side Of the Atlantic. As cure for dyspepsia, bilious
disorders, nervous affections general debility and as
a preventive of epidemic fevers, it takes precedence
OF every other remedy. This fact should teach the
ambitious country dealers who endeavor TO fost their
local abortions on the public in It's stead, how futile
their small attempts 10 cajoe the community muss
necessarily be. Where the grme nsh have failed
there is no chance for the "suckers."
