An Obstacle 20 Physical Well Being.
Physicians rightly characterize consti-
patton as an obstinate impeachment to the
welfare of the body. The performance of
the moro important functions, such as
digestion, hillary secretion and an active
circulation of the blood. are interrupted
by it In greater or less degree, as the de-
velopment of the complaint is inclpient or
mature. Not at once, of course, but with
reasonable promptitude, Hostetter's Stom-
ach Bitters will remove every symptom to
which it gives rise, as well az the minor
mAladIes that spring from It, among them
indigestion and chronic biliousness. From
drenching cathsrtics it fs vsin to hope for
permanent benefit, and there are few pur-
gatives that are not violent and protuse In
their operation. Blue pill and caIomel
are designed to act upon the liver only,
and taken frequently are pernicious TO
health. The Bitfers produce relaxation
of the bowels without pain, and renewal
of their regularity. It also conquers fever
and sgue, rheumatism. neuralgia and in
activity of the kidneys.
