BE Guided by what You Know.

There is an old proverb which says, "expe-
rience is the safest guide" To this guide the
sick and ailing naturally turn when casting a.
bout for the means of relief. They inquire
what medicine has done for others, before
they adopt it themselves. Of all the remedies
and representatives. in use, Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters meets the test most triumphantly, and
hence it's immense popularity and vast sales
The sufferer from indigestion is sure to find
some one among his friends who has been cur
ed of that ailment by the famous vegetable
stomachc The victim of fever and ague, liver
complaint constipation, nervous prOstration
or general debility, has only to make inquiry
in the neighborhood where he residee in order
to discover what this standard restorative has
effected in cases similar to his own. In the
published testimony to its merits he will find a
volume of proofs Of its sanitary properties,
| which it is impossible for his common sense to
resist He tries it, and the effect it produces
| on his system adds another to the host of wit
nesses in it's favor Thus its reputation, found
| ed on facts, not assertions continually grows
| and spreads. Charlatans and impOsters, some
| of them mere local tricksters, and others who
| take wider range, attempt to thrust into the
hands and down the threats OF invallds, their
| haphazard connections, as substitute for the
| tonic which for so many years has been med
icinal staple throughout the United States,
