Physicians Have Found out

That communicating and foreign element
IN the blood, developed by Indigestion, is
the cause of Theumatism. This settles upon
the sensitive sub cutaneOus covering of the
muscles and ligaments of the joints, causing
constant and shifting pain, and aggregating
as calcareous, chaIky deposit which pro-
duces stiffness and distortion OF the Joints
n fact, which experience has demonstrated
In regard to HOstetter's Stomach Bitters, has
stronger evidence to support than this,
namely, that this medicine of cOmprehen-
sive uses checks the formidable and afro
cious disease. nor is it less positively estab-
iished That il is preferable to the poisOus
often used to arrest it, since the medicine
contains only statutory Ingredients 1t Is

Der Of gentleman from Fort Scott,
