On our Most Distant Frontiers,

AS in our busiest and most populous cities Of the
seaboard and interior, Rostetter's Stomach Bit
tiers is pre-eminently popular. Wherever ciyilza-
ton plants its foot this continent, thither the
great tonic soon finds its way. Nor is this sur
prising, for il is the medicine of all others best
adapted to the waits Of the Western emigrant,
be he miner or agriculturist. 1t is an fncompar-
able remedy for the diseases to which he is most
subject and which are liable to be brought on by
change OF climate, hardship. exposure, unac-
customed air and diet, and miasmatic atmosphere
and water. Among these are disorders of the
stomach and bowels. rheumatic ailments, and
malario1s fevers, for all of which Hostetters Bit
tiers is certain specific. A course OF the Bitters
before departing for the new field OF labor, or on
arriving, Will have the effect OF preventing the
evils for which Is is such signal remedy.
