SPECIAL NOTICES.

An Appeal to Reason.-Health would be
much more carefully guarded than il is at
present. and the average Of human life
heightened by many years. If common sense
and the light Of experience were accepted by
the universal public as their medical monitor
and guide. Tbs true philosophy Of health is
simple. It consists in retaining from indul-
genees and imprudenees which impair the
vital forces. and in iupplying any deficiency
of vital power and constitutional vigor that
may exist by invigorating and Alternative
treatment. To reinforce and regulate fee
BILE system, and TO prevent a more vigorous
physique from yielding to unhealthy and de-
bilitating influences. Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters is PROFESSIONALLY the most potent Of
all vegetable purifiers. As a stimulant, it is
the purest ever administered in medical prae-
tice; as tanle and stomachic. the most in
falliblei as an anti-biliDus agent, the safest
and surest; and as an aperient and regu-
lating medicine. mild and painless. yet ire
sistible. 1t is protection against disease Of
every kind. and all seasons. and is particu-
larly eficacious az a means Of forearming the
system against the ailments generated by a
raw, damp. ungenial atmosphere. Hence its
great value as a winter tonic and invigorant.
Ne one predisposed to indigestion. bilious
ness, constipation. rheumatism or nervous
headache. should ever be without this Vital
Elixir. As certain class Of country dealers
are yerT anxious to dose their customers with
local bitters" Of worthless or pernicioHs
character. which they represent to be equal or
superior to the great national tonic. the pub
lie is hereby fore,carnei against their tricks
Of trade"
