TRUST WHAT TINE HAS SANCTIONED.
The maxim that the voice of the people is the
voice Of the divinity, may in some cases, be open
to doubt, but the testimony Of honest and enlight2
ened witnesses extending through o series of
years, and all to The same purpart is worthy Of
credencc, admits Of no question. Upon such testi-
mony the reputation of Hostetter's Stomach Bit
tiers as an antidotc and cure for many ailments is
based. During the twenty years that it has been
before the world, innumerable preparations in
tended TO compete with it, have goneup like rock
cts, and come down like the extinguished sticks.
Meanwhile the progress of that incompatible
tonic has been swift and seady--always upward
and onward like the eagles flight It's introduc
ton produces revolution in therapeutics, and it
has proved to be one of those sautary revolutions
that cannot go backwards To day Hostetter' $
B;tters is one Of the most popular remedies in
christsndom, and commands a larger sale than
any other medicinal preparation, domestic or i'm
ported, Oh this side Of the Atlantic. AS cure
for dyspepsia. bilious disorders, nervous ahec-
tons, general debility. and as preventive Of ep
idemic fevers, 1t takes precedence Of every other
remedy. This fact should teach the ambitious
country dealers who endcavor to foist their local
abortions the public in its stead, how futile
their small attempts to cajole the community
must necessarily be. Where the game fish have
failed there is no chance for the suckers"
