The Household Tonic.

The efficacy of Hostetter's Celebrated Stomach
Bitters az specific for recruiting the enfeebled
body and cheering the depending mind has
passed into proverb. In the United States, where
this marvellous tonic has borne down all opposition
and eclpsed all rivalry, the demand for 1t has an
nually increased In a heavier and heavier ratio
for years, until at last, the regular sales OF this
preparation exceed those of all other stomachics
combined. Eminent members Of the medical
profession and hospital surgeons without number
have candidly admitted that the pharmacopsa
of the faculty contains no prescription tn at pre-
duces such beneficial effects in dyspepsia, general
debility and nervous diseases, Is Hostetter's Bit
tiers. To use the language OF venerable physi
clan of New York, "The Bitters are the purest
stimulant and the safest tonic we have" But the
uses OF the great vegetable antidote are much
more comprehensive than such praise would in
ply As a preparatory antdote to epidemic dis
ease, genial stimulant, promoter OF constitp
tional vigor an appetizer, stomacbic, and
remedy for nervous debility, no medicinal prep
araton has ever attained the reputation OF Hos
letters Bitters 1t is the household tonic OF the
American people, and in all human probability
will be 80 for centuries to come. The magaates OF
science recognize Its merits and that 1t is emphat
cally the medicine Of the masses, is proved by iIs
vast and ever increasi sales.
