False Impressions on the Subject of Health Are eagerly encouraged by those who endeavor to hoodwink the public as to the mode of it's attainment. Vague statements as to the causes of disease are coupled by such nostrum vendors, with groundless and preposterous claims as to the infallibility of the remedy. Widely diff ferent from the above has been the course pursued in relation to Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. Only plain substantiable and reason able allegations have been made in it's behalf. That it is reliable tonic and anti bilious medicine, a preventive and remedy for malarial fever, and benefcient corrective of weakness and irregularity of the stomach and bowels, are facts which the American people have had last quarter of 8 century. It banishes the mental despondency begotten of dyspepsia, az we'll as it's originating cause, promotes arpe tite and sleep and is pure and thorough
