Embslmed in a transcript of testimony

precarious as fishing in the Hebrides. You

The Most Precious of gifts.

Health is undenisbly more precious gift than
riches, honor or power. Who would exchange it
for these, the chief objects of human ambition
1t is obviously the part OF wisdom to employ
means for the preservation Of health and the pro-
longstion of life which time and experience have
proved to be reliable. Many of the dangers by
which health is threatened may be nullifed by
the use of that irresistible OF c0rrectyes and
tOniCs, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. which, by IN
crossing vital power and rendering the physical
functions regular and active, Keeps the system in
good working order and protects 1t against dis
ease For constipation, dyspepsia, liver com
plant, nervousness, kidney and rheumatic all
inents and neuralgia, it is invaluable aud affords
a sure defense against malarial feyers, besides re-
moving every trace OF such disease from the sys-
tenn. BALI a ne-glassful taken before meals i'm
