For some medicinal alcoholic resuscitant OF physica
energy which should take the place of the heady and
frequently adultrated stimulants of commerce, the
medical practitioners offs quarter of century ago
were electied on first observing the revvng effects
upon the system Of tonic then recently introduced
but which has since become the most popular medi-
cine sold on this continent, viz: Hostetters Stom-
ach Bitters. Their establishment and admiration
were increased when experience further disclosed
that this botanic remedy effected results which the
failed to pr0duce.-among others, the permanent
restoration of vgor, the removal OF digestive
ton and prevention of periodic fevers, Speedy re-
cognton of the merits of the Btters by unpreudic-
ed and enlightened physicians naturally followed
this revelation of medical facts which have since Ie-
ceived such frequent and positive confirmation.
