Be Guided by what you Know.

There is an. old proverb which says, "E1pe-
rience is the safest guide" To this guide the
sick and ailing naturally turn when casting
about for the means of relief They enquire
what medicine has done for others, before they
adopt it themselves. Of all the remedies and
preventives in use, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters
meets the test most triumphantly, and hence its
immense popularity and vast sales. The suf-
ferer from indigestion is sure to find some one
among his friends who has been cured of this
ailment by the famous vegetable stomachic.
The victim of fever and ague, liver complaint,
constipation, nervous prostration, or general
debility, has only to make inquiry in the neigh
borhood where he resides in order to discover
what this standard restorative has erected In
cases similar to his own. In the published tes-
timony to its merits he will find volume of
proofs of its sanitary properties, which 1t is mn
POSSIBLE for his common sense to resist. He
tries it, and the effect it produces on his system
adds another to the host of witnesses IN Its 1avor
Thus, its reputation, founded on facts, not as
sertions, continually grows and spreads. Char,
latans and imposters, some of them mere local
tricksters, and others who take somewhat
wider range, attempt to thrust into the hands
and down, the throats of invalids, their hap
hazard concoctions, as substitutes for the tonic
which for so many years has been medlclnal
staple throughout the United States, Spanish
America Canada, and the West Indies, but
only succeed to limited extent. In this reas-
oning age the people, having ascertained what
is really deserving of their confidence, decline
''rnnning after strange gods"
