turn were whitewashed, After the third
inning the married men got down to work

To Spur a faded Appetite

Is one thing, TO invigorate and regulate the
digestive organs is another. And yet mere
appetizers are constantly mistaken for and
are even termed tonics. Hostetter's Stomcah
Bitters is on a far higher plane in the category
of medical preparations, than the so-caled
tOniCs which impart relish for the food
These have their use, and are estimable, pro
vided they be pure. But the scope of the
remedial operation of the Bitters is far wider
1t reforms entirely an enfeebled condition of
the stomach and purifies its juices, if vitiated
as well as promotes their secretion in health
full abundance. The stomach having, in con-
junction with the liver and the bowels, been
regulated, and their natural tone restored
through its agency, appetite returns, as mat
ter of covrse. Fever and ague, poverty of the
blood, and consequent debility, rheumatic all
ments, and tendency to kidney and bladder
troubles, are also remedied by it. 4-5-lw.
