RATIONAL EDICATIoN,

Medication is only successful when it
is rational, and 1t is rational only when
it begins at The beginning. In other
words, to cure a malady, its cause must
be removed. Weakness. either general
or local, is the origin of the great major
ity of diseases. Reinforce the vital en-
ergies, regulate digestion and secretion,
by siren gthening the organs which per-
form those all-.mportant functions, and
dyspepsia, constipation, kidney and
bladder complaints, uterine difficulties,
impure circulation. aad the thousand and
one ailments which are the consequences
of debility, are completely, and in most
cases permanently, removed The best,
safest and NEST agreeable tonic and al
terative that can be employed for this
| purpose Is Hostetter's stomach Ritters.
| The experience of twenty-five years, dur
| ing which time it has uutlived, perhaps
| ten times that number OF ephemeral
preparations which have entered into
competition with it, has proved it to be
| unequaled rs a remedy for all disorders
accompanied by or proceeding from
weakness.
