Children seem especially prone to
complaints of the bowels. A seven-year
old boy of Mrs. Harriet Orr. of Lancas-
ter, Pa, was troubled in that way, and n
neighbor advised her to use Misher's
Herb Bitters. She gave him table
spoonful every time his bowels were
moved. The pain was soon checked,
and in n short time the little fellow was
enjoying good health.

Half the diseases OF the human family
spring from n disordered stomach, and
may be prevented by invigorhting and
tOning that abused and neglected organ
with lIostetter's Stomach Bitters. Let
1t be borne In mind that the liver; the
kidneys, the intestines, the muscles, the
ligaments, the bones, the nerves, the in
teguments, are all renewed and nourish-
ed by the blood, and that the digestive
organs are the grand alembic in which
the materials of the vital fluid are pre-
pared. When the stomach fails to pro-
vide healthful nourishment for its de-
Tendencies, they necessarily suffer, and
the ultimate result, If the evil is not ar
rested, will be chronic and probably fatal
disease somewhere. 1t may be devel-
oped in the kidneys in the form of da-
belts, in the liver as congestion. in the
muscles as rheumatism, in the nerves as
paralysis, in the integuments as scrofula.
Remember, however, that each and all
of these consequences of Indigestion may
be prevented by the timely and regular
use of that sovereign antidote to dyspep-
STA, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters.
