Prosecuted OrSan.-The human stomach
has been shamefully prosecuted organ. There
was time when for every direliction OF duty 1t

The great modern remedy for indigestion and

preparation which has the merit OF combining Il

prostration So refreshing that, when Knocked

by powerful depicting drugs, he is apt to stay
FRUSTRATED, and the debilitatcd being aware Of
the fact, prefer the buiidtIg up to the Knocking

Hostetter's Bittcrs meets the requirements OF
