Rational Nlellicn ton.

Medication is only successful when it IA
tional, and it is rational only when it begins
at the beginning. In other words. to cure "a
malady, its cause must DC removed. Weak
ness. either general or local, is the origin of
the great majority ofliseases. Reinforce the
vital energies, regulate digestion and SO Gre
ton. by strengthening the organs which per.
form those all.important functions, and
complaints, uterine difficulties, impure clrcu-
lation, and the thousand and one ailments
which are the consequences of debility, are
completely, and in most cases permanently,
removed. The best, safest and most agreea.
Bile tonic and alternative that can be employ
cd for this purpose is Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters. The experience of twenty five years,
turing which time it has outlived perhaps
ten times that number OF ephemeral prepar-
ations which have entered into competition
with 1t, has proved it to be unequaled as u
remedy for all disorders accompanied by or
proceeding from weakness.
