Regular Secretion Essential to Health

The regular secretion and Aow Of the gastric juices
and of the bile, which the OF Hostetters Stomach
Bitters promotes are effects which conduce material
ly to the restoration Of health, when the system s
disordered. Food is not dgested in the dyspeptic
stomach because the gastric Juice is deficient super
abundant vated; the liver becomes congested and
the bowels constipated because the supply Of bile is
inadequate or msdirected. The Bitters rectines all
this, and every III consequence Of non-assm
ilation and bilious irregularity. Furthermore, 1t
stimulates the action Of the kidneys by which impure
ties are speak, strained from the blood, and any
tendency in the urinary organs to grow sluggish aud
disordered counteracted. Whether it be used
means of regulating gastric bilious secretion, and
relieving the overloaded bowels, or to promote COM
plete, and therefore healthful, urnRton, Hosetters
Bitters may be relied upon with confidence to accom-
plish the end in view.

fringement OF patents, frankly say to them that
we hold ourselves responsible for the same, to be
tried before the courts, in manly way; that We are
manufacturers and propose to protect those who pur
chase OF us. We do not consider it manly to issue
circulars TO brighten purchasers who are ignorant Of
the patent laws and propose to stand by our Gus
TONERS We do not propose to violate the rights Of

rights violated.
We have been manufacturing moving machines for
the last fifteen years We have lived ON terms OF re-
ciprocity and good feeling with our brother manufAc-
turers in the line during all this time We take
pride in saying that the largest manufacturers in the
country have shown themselves to be our friends and
when they wished to acquire a right in our inventions

same and we feel confidence in saying that we have
never violated the confidence good feeling Of our
brother manufacturers.
We are certain that all our customers among the

We, therefore, are ready to meet any legitimate
prosecution in the courts for alleged infringement Of
patents.
