The Keynote OF Health.

The health and vigor of the several organs of the
body depend upon the simple condition that the
functions which pertain to each shall be regularly
and actively performed. If vitality is sluggish or
deficient, this condition is not properly fulfilled
and as a consequence disease is soon inaugura'ed.
Prevent it by timely use of Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters, which rouse the vital energies when dor.
mant, and endow the feeble frame with needful
stamina. AT the same time that the Etters infuse
new strength into the system, they correct those
functional Irregularities and local weaknesses
which sap the vital power. Dyspepsia, bladder
and kidney complaints, govt rheumatism, fever
and ague, biliousness constipation and nervous di'
seases invari tbly overcome by the operator OF
this standard Alternative tonic.
