SPECIAL NOTICES.

Lost Health Rsgained. -Self-negle lays
the foundation of much bodily suffering As
rule men are more solieitous to repair and
preserve their houses, stock in trade. and other
perishable property, than to repair and pre-
serve themselves. They can see when wall
requires prop. or weak structure girder,
but appear to be unconscious Of, or indifferent
10, the cracks and flaws and evidences of de-
cay in their own frail and sensitiue organiza-
tons. The consequence of this want of com
mon prudence is that thousands fall BY the
wayside in the prime of life every year who
might have lived to enjoy a hale and hearty
old age, if they had resorted to the proper
means OF recruiting their failing vigor at the
proper time. Seeing what that famous vital
king and inyigorating elixir. Hostetter Stom-
ach Bitters, has done for countless multitudes
of the enervated and broken down, and with
the long, unbroken record of its cures before
him, ii seems amazing that any sufferer from
premature decay. nervous weakness, dyspep-
STA. chronic constipation. or disease of re-
mittent or intermittent character. shonld de-
lay, even for an hour. to seek the aid which
its toning, regulating and invisorating proper
ties have never failed TO afford. 1t is no exag-
geration to say that Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters is the most faithful ally of nature. in
her struggles with weakness and disease, that
medical botany and honest chemistry have
yet given to the world.
