egar Bitters are a purely Vegetable
preparation, made chiefly from the native
herbs found on the lower ranges of the Sier-
IA Nevada mountains of California, the
medicinal properties of which are extract
ed therefrom without the use of Alcohol.
The question is almost daily asked, ''What
is the cause of the unparalleled success of
VINEGAR BITTERs?" Our answer is, that
they remove the cause of disease, and the
patient RECEIVERS his health. They are the
great blood purifier and life giving prin-
ciple, a perfect Renovator and Invigorator
of the system. Never before in the history
of the world has medicine been COM
pounded possessing the remarkable quail
tiles of VINEGAR BITTERs in healing the sick
of every disease man is heir to- They are
gentle Purgative as well as a Tonic, reliev-
ing Congestion or Inflammation of the
Liver and Visceral Organs, in Bilious Dis
eases.
If men will enjoy good health, let
them use VINEGAR BITTERs as a medicine,
and avoid the use of alcoholic stimulants
in every form.
