There are few systems that have not a weak

any man or woman can do is to fortify 1t by a
course of Hostetter's Stomach Bittsrs, and
thus keep the enemy at bay. In war, when a
city Is menaced, the first thing to be done is
to strengthen the ramparts. The same policy
should be adopted with the human body.
