WHENEVER AND WHEREVER Diseases
OF q choleratic type prevail. or there is
to apprehend a visit from them, the
should be toned, regulated and re-
inforced by a course OF Hostetter's Stom-
ach Bilters. Perfect digestion and a regu-
lar habit of body are the best safeguards
such maladies, and both are Sc
cured by this most lnestimable tonic and
alternative. The bitters are also extremely
serviceable in ~remedying such disorders.
1t promptly taken in bilious collie, diar-
rhGa and cholera morbus, the disease is
usually frustrated. In diarrhGa cases it is
only necessary to restore the tone OF the
relaxed bowels. and tHis is one OF the spe-
cifie effects of this medicine. Wind on
the stomach, heartburn, biliousness, nau-
sea, headache and other symptoms, of dis
turbance in the gastric and hepatic regions
are also speedily relieved by this excel
lent remedy. As a family medicine it is
invaluable, since it promptly and com
remedies those ailments which are
