Hostetter's Stomach Bltters, in which are
combined the three great curative elements
a tonic, an Alternative, and an aper1ent.
The former completely paralyZes the vital
forces, so that nature can make no resis-
lance to disease; the latter sustains the
strength of the patient, while 1t restores the
suspended functions OF the secretory organs
and relieves the bowels without violence or
pain. 1t Is simply a choice between re-
storation and prostration.
