thoroughly adapted to the wants of the gene
raj public than any other in the market. Un-
like all other so-called Remedies. it is prepar-
ed nnder the direct personal supervision of
an eminent Physician. s. B. Hartman,
D., the senior proprietor, is regular gradu-
ate of the Jefferson Medical College of Phila-
delphia, and practicing physician of large
experience and extensive practice. In such
hands the public may rest assured that Mish-
lers Herb Bitters is compounded in strict ac-
cordance with correct Pharmaceutical princi-
pies. and that none but the choicest ingredi-
ents enter into its composition.
Its immense sale alone is conclusive proof
that it possesses merit of high order. Mer-
chants, bankers, clergymen, lawyers, clerks
and others engaged in sedentary occupations,
experience its wonderful effects in relieving
the depression caused by severe mental labor;
while the mechanic, farmer and laborer find
their bodily vigor restored like magic by its
USE
At this season of the year, when DlAR-
RHGA, CRAMPS, Coles and kindred disorders,
caused by eating unripe fruits, imprudent in
dulgencein cold drinks, etc., are prevalent, a
certain, speedy and effectual remedy will be
found in Mishler's Herb Bitters.
The depressing feeling Of Languor or De-
bility, incident to the cheated term" is at
once removed, the energies restored, and new
life and vigor impaired to the prostrated sys-
tenn, by its use.
