Debility and EmaciatiOn

Debility and EmaclatlOn
Both result from the lack of ability to convert
the food into nutriment. How necessary, then,
for those suffering from these alarming symp
toms to Immediately resort to remedy that will
strengthen the stomach and digestive organs
For, soon as this desirable object has been ac-
complished the health improves, and the patient
resumes his usual personal appearance Hos
letters Stomach Bitters have attained world
wide popularity in such cases. and have been
proven the best and safest means of removing
constipation. toning the stomach, giving energy
to the liver, and relieving every symptom of
nervousness and depression of spirits. Its cheer
ing and beneficial effects are highly spoken of by
thousands who owe to it their restoration to
health. No restorative in the annals of medi-
cine has attained the same popularity in the
short space of time it has been before the public,
or has won the high endorsements accorded to
this excellent tonic. Many other preparations,
purporting to be correctives and restoratives,
have been introduced, and have persisted one by
one, while the popularity of Hostetter's Stomach
Bltters continues to increase, and is now recog-
nized as standard household medicine. The
success which attends the use of the Bitters evin-
ces at once its virtues in all cases of debility and
disease of the stomach. Certificates, almost with
out number. have been published, attesting its
truly miraculous power in removing those pain
full and fearful diseases And at this time it
seems idle to do more than call attention to the
great remedy of the age,s in order to awaken
public attention to its excellence. 1t is the only
preparation of the kind that is reliable in all ca
ses, and it is, therefore, worthy of the considera-
ton of the afflicted. austin

interesting consisting of singing, prayer, reading

Mr.. Peterson's address was one of the most
pungent, stirring, and beautiful addresses to
which it has ever been our pleasure TO listen.-
His assaults upon many of the fashionable fol-
dies Of the present day, were completely over
whelming, and must have been convincing to
the most stubborn will and his illustrations
were pointed and comprehensive.
