How to Bame Disease.

The man who puts bullet through his head
dies more speedily than he who is continually
sending volleys of strong cathsrtic pills down his
throat; but the drastic pillets fatal in the
end as the leaden ball. 1t is only question Of
time. Common sense should teach everybody
that the idea Of expellirg disease by subverung
the bodily vlgor which is its natural antagonist is
supremacy absurd There should be no purgation
without IMMIGRATION and regulation. These three
processes should go ON together, and they so so in
all cases where Hostetter's Stomach Bitters are
used RS a remedy for disease, or for the general
debility growing out OF torpid state OF the digest
I've and secretiye organs. In this great vege able
restorative mingled three tial elements OF
cure-a purifying element. tonic element and
an anti-biliOus element. BY these means dyspep
sia, bilious disorders, Intermittent fevers sick
headache, constipation and nervous debility are
readily cured and endemic diseases prevented.
