The Early sta ges of Disease.

Those conditions of the body in which its functions
not performed with healthful activity but slug
gishly and irreguary in fact the early stages of
disease. They are, moreover almost invariably the
result of local or general weakness which can only
be permanently overcome by an efficient tonic. There
is no medical fact more clearly established than that
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters are admirably ADAPTED
to infuse vgor into the debtaed system, and to
store regularity to its interrupted functions. As
weakness and irregularity sure to develop into
disease, the Bitters, by overcoming them, are the
means of averting far more serious evils. Debility
most frequently manests itself in the organs of di
gestion and evacuation two important offices, whose
vigorous performance is insured by the Bitters which
also rectify weakness rregularity of the bladder
or kidneys, and forify the system against malaria
