Only a Fraction ofLifa.

How many persons live only a frac-
ton of average human life because
they neglect to take the eommonest
precautions against sickness. 1t is
disease in its maturity that kills, and
maturity implies growth. A slight
indisposition is usually sighted
They who avail themselves of Hostel
ter's Stomach Bitters know it to be
efficacious in chronic cases of disease,
but the process of cure is a far easier
one if If is used in early stages of dis
pepsia, malarial disease, rheumatism,
constipation and liver arrangement.
Let those WHIT would avoid the peril
which even the most potent remedies
cannot avert, steer clear of the rock
upon which so many constitutions
split an underappreciation OF the
danger of neglect. 1t viii not do to
omit care and q recourse to the medi-
cine when health is affected. ii de
biitated, or nervous, or dyspeptic take
it for granted you ere in want OF a
remedy, use the Bitters.
