The Prevention of a Terrible disaster.

No disorders, excepting the most deadly forms of
lung disease, involve such tremendous destruction
of organic tissue as those which fasten upon the
kidneys. Such maladies, when they become chronic
and none are so liable to assume that phase-com-
pletely wreck the system. To prevent this terrible
disaster, recourse should be had upon the first
manifestation Of trouble to Hostetter's BitteIs,
which experience has proved to be highly ee cive
means of imparting tone and regularity to the
gans of urination, well as to the liver, stomach
and bowels. Another beneficial result of this medi-
cine, naturally consequent upon it's durctic action
Is the elimination from the blood of impurities
which beget rheumatism, govt, dropsy, and other
maladies. By increasing the activity of the Kidneys
