In the decline life. as the yigOr o! the system
wanes, and inflrmties attack it to which in early
life it was a stranger, the of a safe medcidal
stimulent is highly advisable. Nothing, as expert
enee shows, is admirably adapted to the want of
old people as iIostetsers Stomach Bitters. 1t is a
real sOlsco to tho aged, and the best safeguard
they can possibly use against the complaints to
which they are liable. 1t invgorate' the body and
cheers the mind is pure. agreeable and effective.
Rheumatism, lumbago andisout are more frequent
ly developed in age than in youth or middle life.
HOstetter's Bitters are an excellent remedy for
these painful disorders, and also fortiy the system
against them. They never create undue excitement,
gentle in their action. and are infinitely purer
than the unmedicated stimulants Of commerce.

the scandals of Vermont railroading and
Vermont courts and Vermont politics be
sbated. and her roads run by thoseIwho
own them and who have an interest in their
