DEBILITY AND EMACIAToN

Both result from the lack of ability to CONVEX
the food into nntriment. How necessary, then
for those suffering from these alarming symptoms
strengthen the stomach and digestive organs. For
as soon az this desirable object has been accom-
plished the health improves, and the patient re-
sumes his usual personal appearance. Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters have attained world wide pop
ulnrity in s9ch cases, and have been pro zen the
best and safest means Of removing constipation,
tonng the stomach, q ying energy to the liver,
and relieving every symptom of nervousness and
depression Of spirits. Its cheering and benef-
cial fleets are highly spoken of by thousands.
who owe to it their restoration to health. No re.
stor4tye in the annals of medicine has attaiued
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 he cor
receives and restoratives, have been introduced.
and have persisted one by one, while the popular
ity Of Hostetters Stomach Bitters continues to
increase, and is now recognized as q standard
household medicine. The success which attends
the use of che Btters evinces at once its virtues
in eli cases of debility and disease of the stom-
ach. Certificates, almost without number, have
been published, attesting its truly miraculous
power in removing those painful ard fearful d.
seases. 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 cases, and it is there
fore worthy Of the consideration Of the afflicted.

THE UNIVERSAL REMEDY FOR INTERNAL
AND EXTERNAL COMPLAINTS


At this period there are but few of the human
race unacquanted with the merits Of the Pain
Killer; but while some extol las linment, they
know but little of its power in easing pain when
taken internally, while others it internally
with great success, but are equally ignorant OF
its healing virtues when applied externally We,
therefore, wish to say to all that it is equally sue
cessful wheher used internally or externally, and
it stands alone, unrivalled by all the great cata-
logue Of Family Medicines, and its sale is univer-
sal and cimense. The demand for it from India
and other foreign countries is equal to the de-
mand at home, and 1t has become known in these
off countries by its merits. Davis Pain Kill
Ter is purely vegetable con pound, and while 1t
is a most efficient remedy for pain, it is per
fectly safe medicine even III the most unskillful
hands. For summer complaint, or any other form
of bowel disease in children or adults 1t is al
most certain cure, as it has, without doubt, been
more successful in curing the various kinds of
CHOLERA than any other known remedy, or the
most skillful. physician. In India, Africa and
China, where this dreadful disease is more
or less prevalent, the PAIN KILLER is considered
by the natives, as well as European residents in
those climates, !. SURE REMEDY.
