Why Endure What is Durable ?-"What
can't be cured must be endured" says the pro-
verb; but indigestion can be cured, and there
fore 1t is the merest stupidity to endure it. Dys-
peptics have certainly a right to continue dFs-
peptics to the end of their days il they choose.
but as it is not supposed that any rational being
prefers physical torment to ease and health, the
probability is that il all sufferers from indiges-
ton were convinced that an absolute, infallib1e
remedy for their complaint existed, they would
with one accord resort to it. We most emphat-
icahy declare that such a remedy does exist,
and that Its name is Hostetter's Stomach Bit
ters. The record of its success extends over a
period of more than twenty years, and it is fear
lessly alleged that during the whole of that
timeit has never failed to afford permanent re-
lief in any disorder or arrangement of the ston-
aeh that was not organic, malignant, and incur
able. The testimonials that go to establish this
Important fact can be counted by the thousand.
Stomach complaints thai had been aggravated
by a total disregard of all dietary rules, and in
tensified and rendered chronic by medicinal
treatment or drastic p1rgation, have in humid
reds of instances been cured within three months
by the systematic use Of this celebrated stom-
achic and Alternative. It should be remembered
that weakness OF the digestive organs involves
many other ailments. B~iliousness, headache,
nervous debility, spasrns, palpitation of the
heart, rush of blood to the head, nausea, vertigo,
and sleeplessness are among its coneomitants
and results; and for all these the great vegeta-
bic tonic is a specific. 1t acts first upon the Sc
cretory and nervous systems and the bowels, it's
general effect being always genial and bene1cent.
