The Physical Paradox.

1t has been said that "the blood is the
source of ife." 1t is as truly the source
of disease and death. No life, that is to
say, no healthy tissue can be generated
from impure blood. no organ of the body
can normally perform its functions when
supplied with impure blood. The fluid
that should carry life and health to every
part, carries only weakness and disease.
Blood is the source of life only when it is
pure. If it has become diseased it must
be cleansed by proper medication, else
every pulsation of the human heart sends
q wave of disease through the system. TC

Protect the System from Malaria

Ii is possible 20 do this even in regions
OF country where miasma is most rife, and
where the periodic fevers which it causes
assume their most formidable types. The
Immense popularity of Hostetter's Stom-
ach bitters is very largely attributable to
the fact of its efficacy as remedy for
chills and fever, bilious remittents, and as
a preventive of the various forms of mala-
rial disease, In those portions of the
West and South where complaints of this
nature prevail. and in the Tropics, il is
particularly esteemed for the protective
Influence which it exer!s; and it has been
very widely adopted as a substitute for
the dangerous and comparatively ineffect-
i've alkaloid, sulphate of quinine. Physi-
clans have not been among TIE last to con-
cede its merits, and the emphatic profes-
sional Endorsements which it has received
have added to the reputation it has OBJ
tanned at home and abroad.
