Debility and EmaciafiOn

Both result from the lack of ability to convert
the food into nutriment How necessary, then,
for those suffering from these alarming symp-
toms to Immediately resort to a remedy that will
strengthen the stomach and digestive organs
For, as soon this desirable object has been &C.
compished the health improves, and the patient
resumes his usual personal appearance. Hos
letters Stomach Bitters have attained a world
wide popularity in such cases, and have been
proven the best and safest means of removing
constipation. toning the stomach, giving energy
to the liver, and relieving every symptom of
nervousness and depression of spirits. It's cheer
ing and beneficial effects are highly spoken of by
thousands, who owe to it their restoration to
health. No restorative in the annals of medi-
cine has attained the same popularity in the
short space of time it has been before the public
or has won the high endorsements accorded to
this excellent tonic. Many other preparations,
purporting to be correctives and restoratives,
have been introduced and have persisted one by
one, while the popularity of Hostetters Stomach
Btters continues to increase, and is now recog-
nized as standard household medicine. The
success which attends the use of the Bitters evn-
ces at once its virtues in all of debility and
disease of the stomach. Certificates, almost with
out number, have been published, attesting its
truly miraculous power in removing those pain
full and fearful diseases. And at this time it
seems idle to do more than call attention to the
great remedy of the age in order to awaken
public attention to its excellence 1t is the only
preparation of the kind that is reliable in all
ses, and 1t is, therefore, worthy of the consdera
ton of the afflicted austin
