When disease has undermined the health
and the physical system has become prostra a.
ted, a stimulant that will not only strengthen
but remove the cause, should be Immediately
resorted to. Mental distress is also a fruitful
source of the breaking down of the c%ons'itu-
ton, and the ravages of this enemy to health
are truely alarming. For all such maladies
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters have been found
unsurpassed. BY acting directly upon the
digestive organs, they remove the heavy, dis
agreeable feeling after eating, so often COM
planned of by persons of a delicate tempera-
ment. AS soon as digestion is restored, the
patient finds his strength increasing, and his
general health improved.
Thousands of persons certify that it may be
relied on in all cases of weakness or nervous de-
bility attendant upon sedentary habits. The
generality of Bitters are so disagreeable to
the taste that they are Objectionable to a
weak stomach. This is not the case with
Hostetters's Bitters, which will be found
mild and extremely pleasant. Balsamic
plants, barks and roots contribute their res.
~torative juices to render it soothing and
strengthening Its basis is the only pure
siimnlant which has ever been produced,
containing no FUs:L OIL, or any other delete
rious element. The most careful and sklilfuI
chemists have analy zed the Bitters, and pro-
nounce them harmless. This is scientific
testimony but the testimony of the hun
dreds of thousands who have experienced the
preventive and curative effects of the GREAT
VEGETABLE TONIC and Alternative of
modern times is still more conclusive. In
Fever and Ague, Dyspepsia, Biliousness,
Nervous Complaints. and general dabilityi it is
as nearly infaliible as anything iu this fallible
world can be.
