Happy Influence of a Great Specific

For the preservation or recovery of health
and strength, the diet should be wholesome
and nutritious. When it happens that the
alimentary processes are disturbed by i'm,
proper or half masticated food, the best
remedy for the evil results of abusing the
digestive organs is Hostetter's Stomach Bit
ters, most az eeabe, prompt and gentle
remedy for dyspepsia, and for the bilious
and evacuative Irregularities which result
from 1t. The liver and bowels, in common
with the stomach experience its benefcient
influences. The refuse of the system is
carried off through its natural outlet, a
healthy flow and secretion of the bile is
promoted, and powerful impetus is given
TO assimilation in consequence of its use
1t BEAUTIFULLY stimulates the bladder and
kidneys when they are inactive, and by its
tonic and regulating action fortifes the
system against malaria.
