A Card for Rational Readers.

Irrational people always reject good adj
vice, and in nothing is their folly more
frequently conspicuous than in ignoring
precautions necessary for the retention of
health. Forecast, on the other hand, is &
notable characteristic of the rational, and
it is the exercise OF this quality which we
would suggest to them. Protect the sys-
tenn against diseases which fasten upon
the debilitated, the nervous and the
dyspeptlc, by bracing the physique, regu-
lating the stomach, bowels and liver, and
banlshing dependency with the purest
and most efficient of botanic invigorants,
Hostetter's Stomach Bit;ers. That these
effects follow its use, and that 1t prevents
as well as annihilates intermittent and
remittent fevers, are facts established by
ndisputable evidence. To enjoy the twin
blessings OF "a sound mind and n sound
body" in all their plentitude, try a course
of this sterling medicine.
