THOSE Useful conduits,

The kidneys and bladder, sometimes be-
come torpid and weak from unascertain-
able causes. When this occurs, their dis
charging function is of necessity very i'm
perfectly performed, and certain debris,
which is the result Of natural bodily waste
and decay, does not escape as it should,
but remains to corrupt the blood and
develop poisonous diseases. It is one of
the benefcent effects of Hostetter's
Stomach Bl:ters to gently stimulate the
urinary organs. and prevent them from
lapsing into a state of inactivity, always
provocative of their inflammatary degen-
Grafton and decay. How much better,
then, is it to adopt this mild diuretic as a
means of melting them to action, than to
incur the danger Of this destruction. To
expel from the system waste matter
through the bowels and kidneys, and TO
regulate and arouse the stomach and liver,
are among the chief uses of this valuable
remedy.
