MiIestones on the Road to Health

The recovery of digestion, and the resump-
ton of activity by the liver, bowels and kid
neys, are milestOnes which mark our progress
on the road TO health. They speedily become
perceptible when Hostetter's Stomach Bitters
is used by the invalid. Nothing so surely and
expeditiOusly consumes the distance to the
desired goal. As no bodily function can suf-
fer interruption without impairing the general
health. the system can never acquire per-
feet vigor, health's synonym, until that func-
ton be actively resumed. Take, for instance,
digestion, a suspension of which is invaria
bly, rectitied by the Bitters. If the organs
upon which it devolves grow weak. bilious
ness, constipation, headache, poverty of the
blood, and hundred other symptoms super
vene, which indicate Enthusiastically the bane-
full general influence of dyspepsia. The dis
appearance of all these symptoms, through
the use of the Bitters. shows with what thor
oughress it removes their cause.
