cordingly q elass was filled with that
beverage. They then knslt In mock
humility, aud with the beer In one

sos symptoms, but the Dlssase,

It would seem TO be truth appreciable
by all, and especially by professors OF the
healing at, that TO remove the disease,not
to alleviate Its symptoms. should be the
chief aim OF medication, Yet in how many
instances do we see this truth admitted In
theory, ignored In practice. The reason
that Hostotter's Stomach Bltters is sue.
cessful in 40 many cases. with which
remedies previously tried were inadequate
to cope, Is attributable to the fact that u ~
medicine which reaches and removes
the causes OF the various maladies TO
which Il Is adapted. Indigestion, fever
and ague, liver complaint. gout. rheuma-
tlsm, disorder of the bowels, urinary AZ
fections and other maladies are not palli-
ated merely, but rooted out by 1t. 1t goes
to the fountain head. It is really. not
