ME- THE PUREST AND SAFEST
The efficacy of HUSTETTEk'S CELEBRATED
STOMACH BITTERS as q specific for recruiting
the enfeebled body and cheering the Responding
mind has passed into proverb. In The United
States where this marvellous tonic has borne
down all opposition, and eclipsed all rivalry, the
demand for 1t has annually increased In heavier
and heavier ratio for years. until at LAST the re-
gular sales of this preparation exceed those Of all
other stomachics combined. Eminent members
of the medical profession aud hospital surgeons,
without number, have candidly admitted that the
pharmacope!a of the faculty contains no pre-
scription that produces such bent fetal effects In
dyspepsia, general debility, and nervous diseases,
as HuSrETTER'S BIZ TERS. To use the Ian
guage OF venerable physician Of New York,
1.-THE Bitters are the pures. stimulaut and the
safest tonic we have.r But the uses of the great
vegetable antidote are much more comprehensive
than such praise would imply. AS preparatory
antidote to epidemic disease, a genial stimulant,
a promoter OF constitutional vigor, an appetizer,
a stomachic, and remedy for nervous debility,
no medicinal preparation has ever attained the
reputation Of HOSTETTER'S BITTERS. 1t is
the houss hold tonic Of the American people, and
In all human probability will be so for centuries
to come. The magnates OF science recognize Its
merits and that IL is emphatically the medicine
Of the masses, is proven by its vast and eyer.in-
creasirg sales. mh27- eodlw&wlt
