the smallness of the church, necessitates this
action on the part of the college.

Ii you are bilious, dyspeptic and constipated
don't make war on the stomach by successfully swal-
lowing blue pills, strong purgatives and powerful
astringents. Such procedure damages digestion
and weakens the bowels, leaving stomach, liver and
ntestines, after the immediate effect, in condition
OF greater disorder than before. That complete re-
Lief which remedies Of the above description signaly
tail to afford Is obtained by using Hostetters Stom-
ach Bitters And for the best of reasons. Bilious
ness is the result of inactivity of the liver dyspepsia
OF weakness of the digestive organs and constipation
is produced by the above causes operating together.
The Bitters being powerful stQmachic, overcome
indigestion by stimulating the secretion Of gastric
juice, relieve bousness by promoting greater actv-
ity OF the liver and thus enable the bowels to act
with renewed regularity.
