An Appeal 70 Reason.

Health would be much more carefully
guarded than it il at present, and the av-
erage of humsn life heightened by many
years, If common sense and the light Of
experience were accepted by the univer-
sal public as their medical monitor and
guide. The true philosophy of health ia
simple. 1t consists in retaining from in
dulgences and ~imprudences which impair
the vital forces, and in supplying any de-
ficiency of vital power and constitutional
vigor that may exist, by invigorating and
alternative treatment. To reinforc e and
regulate a feeble system, and 10 prevent q
more vigorous physique from yielding to
unhealthy and facilitating influences.
Hostetier's Stomach Bitters is unque
tionably the most potent of all vegetable
purifiers, AS a stlmulanf, 1t Is the pur-
est ever administered in medical practice;
as a TOXIC and stomachic, the most infalli-
bic; as an lanti-bilious agent, the safest
and s~urestl and as an aperisnt and regu-
lating medicine, mild and painless, yet
irresistible, 1t Is a protection against dis
ease Of every kind, and all seasons, and
is particularly efficacious as y means OF
~forearming the system against the all
ments generated by a raw, damp, ungen-
ial atmosphere. Hence its great value as
a winter tonic and invigorant. No one
predisposed to indigestion, biliousness.
constipation, rheumatism, or nervous
headache, should ever be without this vi
tai Elixir. As q certain class Of country
dealers are very anxious 10 dose their
customers with ''local bitters," Of q worth
less or pernicious character, which they
represent to be equal or superior to the
great national tonic. the public Is hereby
Jore,cdsned against their tricks OF trade"
