EXuberant Health

Is blessing vOuchsafed to few. Even those who
have been favored by nature with strong consti.
buttons and vigorous frames are apt neglect the
precautions necessary to preserve these precious
endowments. Indeed, as rule, the more heal
thy and robust man is, the more liberties he is
inclined to take with his own physique. 1t is
some consolation to the naturally weak and fee
BILE to know that they can be so invigorated and
built up by proper use of the means which sci
ence has pac ed at their disposal, as to have a
much better chance of long life, and exemptions
from disease and pain, than the most athletic OF
their fellows who are foolish enough to suppose
themselve invulnerable, and act accordingly.
1t is not too much TO say that more than halt
the people of the civilized world need an occa-
sional tonic, to enable them to support the strain
upon their bodies and minds, which the fast life
of this restless age occasions. In fact, pure,
wholesome, uneXciting tonic is the grand desid-
eratum of the busy millions, and they have the
article in Hostetter's Stomach Bitters IT is a
staminal medicine, l. e. it imparts permanent
strength to weak systems and invigorates delicate
constitutions. Its reputation and its sales have
steadily increased Competitive preparations
have been introduced ad libituna, and as far as
the public is concerned ad mauseataa, in the hope
of rivaling it; but they have all either persisted
in the attempt or been LETT far in the rear. 1t
has been the great medical success of the pres
ent century, and it is quite certain that no pro-
prietary medicine in this country is as widely
known or as generally used.
Ten lightning presses, running necessarily
(Sundays excepted), the whole year through,
barely supply the demand for the illustrated
Almanac, in which the nature and uses of the
preparation are set forth, the circulation now be-
ing over eight millions year.
