When skillful and cautious medical men give over
their signatures favorable opinion Of the sooth
ing and vazing effects of preparation, the public
does not hesitate to believe them. The voluminous
and emphatic professional testimony in favor of Hos
letters Stomach Btters, a specific for all disor
ders of the stomach and bowels, for liver complaint,
intermittent and remitent fevers and the thousand
ills that wait upon dyspepsia, must convince the
most skeptical. Aside however, from the testimony
of the faculty. there is large of evidence from
patients in every walk of life, all showing that this
great preventive and restorative is of inestimabe
value to the sick and debilitated. The btters are
suited to all climates, and are universally endorsed as
