WHY Do We DrOOp:

The vicissituGes of climate, the wear and tear of
business, the grief and anxieties that beset
US in every walk of life sufficiently account for the
premature debility and decay so common among
all classes in this country. Strange, very strange
it is that with that potent vegetable invigorant,
HOstetter's Stomach Bitters within the reach of
all, any one of US should forego the health vigor
and vital activity which its regular use imparts.
Its effect upon the weakened stomach, the relaxed
nerves, the torpid liver, the corrupted blood the
depressed spirits is more salutary, refreshing and
cheering than words can express. 1t is medicine
alike for the body and the mind, pure and whole
some in its composition, harmless in its operations
and permanent in its restorative results MWF
