ExUberant Health

Is blessing vouchsafed to few. Even those who
have been favored by nature with strong consti-
tutons and vigorous frames are apt to 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 plac ed at their disposal, as to have
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.
IL IS not too much TO say that more than half
the people of the civilized world need an occa-
sonal tonic to enable them to support the strain
| upon their bodies and minds, which the fast life
of this restless age occasions. In fact a pure
wholesome, unexciting tonic is the grand desid-
eratum of the busy millions, and they have the
article in Hostetter's Stomach Btters It is a
staminal medicine, i. 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 Abstune, and, as far as
the public is concerned, adj namseuna, 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
tSundayS oXcopLeu), Ino WnOie year through,
barely supply the demand for the Illustrated
Almanac, in which the nature and uses of the
preparation set forth, the circulation now be-
ing over eight millions a year.
