A Lesson Taught by Experience.


Among the many valuable lessons taught by expe-
rence, there is not one Of greater moment the
valid portion OF the community than the following,
viz: That Alternative treatment is only permanently
successful when aided by invgoration. When the
functions of the body are disordered, the use of
genial tonic with which corrective properties are
combined is the speeiest means of regulating them.
Such tonic is Hostetters Stomach Bitters the most
popular, as it is the best article of its class. For
more than twenty-five years it has been used with
laria fevers, of imparting strength to the
debilitated and curative of dyspepsia, bilious
ness, constipation, kidney troubles uterine weak
ness. Not only have multitudes of those whom it
has cured borne testimony in its behalf. but it has
been repeatedly commended by the medical profess
sion and the press.
