DEBILITY AND EMACIAToN


Both result from the lack of ability to convert
the food into nutrinent. How necessary, then,
for those suffering from these alarming symptoms
to Immediately resort to remedy that will
strengthen the stomach and digestive organs. Fer,
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
ularity in such cases, and have been pro7en the
best and safest means of removing constipation,
ton'ng the stomach, giving energy to the liver,
and relieving every symptom of nervousness and
depression of spirits. Its cheering and beneh-
cial effects are highly spoken of by thousands,
who owe to it their restoration to health. No re.
storative in the annals of medicine has attained
the same popularity in the short space of time it
has been before the public has won the high
endorsements accorded to this excellent tonic
Many other preparations, purporing to be cor
receives and restoratives, have been introduced,
and have persisted one by one, while the popular
ity of Hostettcrs Stomach Bitters continues to
increase, and is now recognized as standard
household medicine, The success which attends
the use of the Btters evinces at once its virtues
in ali cases of debility aad disease Of the stom-
ach Certificates, almost without number. have
been published, atesting its truly miraculous
power in removing those painful and fearful d.
senses. And at this time it seems idle to do more
than call attention to the great remedy Of the
or. y, ,,,, to awaken nublic attention to its
excellence. 1t is the only preparation '. the
kind that is reliable in all cases, and it is there
fore worthy Of the consideration Ct the afflicted.

THE UNIVERSAL REMEDY FOR INTERNAL
AND EXTERNAL COMPLAINTS.

At this period there are but few of the human
race unacquainted with the merits CT the Pain
Killer; but while some extol itas liniment 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
eessful whether used internally or externally, and
1t stands alone, unrivalled by all the great cata-
logue of Family Medicines, and its sale is univer.
sal and immense. The demand for it from India
and other foreign countries is equal to the de-
mand at home, and it has become known in these
TAR 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 a per-
fectly safe medicine, even in the most unskilful
hands. For summer complaint, or any other form
Of bowel disease in children or adults, it 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 ever more
or less prevalent, the PAIN KILLER is considered
by the natives, as well as European residents in
those climates, A SURE REMEDY.
