tdH MILEsToNEs ON THE ROAD TO HEALTH.
The recovery of digestion and the resumption Of
activity by the liver, bowels and kidneys are
mileston es which mark our progress on the road
to health. They speedily become perceptiblo
when Hostetter's Stomach BiLters is used by tho
invalid. Nothing SO surely and oxpeditionsly
consumes tho distance to the desired goal. AS
no bodily function can suffer interruption with
out impairing tho general health Of the system,
80 tho system can never acquire perfect vgor,
hualths synonym. until that function be active.
~ resumed. Take. for instance. digestion, n
suspension of which is invariably rectifed by
tho Bittors. If the organs upon which ii de.
wolves grow weak, biliousness constipation,
other symptoms, supervone. which indicate I'M
mist skably tho bsnetul general influence of dys-
pepsia. The disappearance Of all these symp-
toms through the use Of the Bittars shows with
what lhnrouehnees il removes their cause.
