nE"FOUR MILLIONS OF INVALIDS.-
At the lowest computation there are never less
than four millions Of invalids in the United
States Of this number probably more than
three-ffths have neglected the ordinary precau-
tons necessary for the preservation of health,
and are suffering the punishment due to their
carelcssness. If the mutitudcs who are now af-
aicted with bliousness, indigestion, rheumatism.
intermittent fever, irregularities of the bowels,
general debility, nervous disorders, &c had, at
the very first symptoms of indisposition, invigo-
rated, regulated and purified their systems with
Hostcttcrs Stomach Bitters, two-thirds OF them
would ut this moment be performing the active
duties of life, unannoycd by any aiment Of tie
body or the MIND.
This assertion is made advisedly. 1t is found
ed on experience, and is borne out by the testl-
mony of Il countless host of witnesses, whose at
tcstatiuns cover almost every variety of disease,
and extend over period of about twenty years.
Of every thousand persons who take the Blttcrs,
us preventive of the complaints above enumc--
rated, seven-ei hths escape them entirely and
Of every thousand who are actually attacked,
and use the great Vegetable Tonic as q remedy,
three fuurihs are radically cured These are
OF hap-hazard assertions, but statistical facts.
They are based upon the results of inquiries
made by more. than fifty thousand persons, in
various parts Of the county, and upon the letters
Of prominent citizens OF every State, 1t might
almost be said. of every county in the Union.
