ATrled Remeily for Biliousness.

Those who suffer from disorder or inaction of
the liver will never get the upper hand of the
unruly organ 50 long as they use such irrational
remedies as blue pill, calomel and podOphyllin.
But from the tried and popular medicine, Hostel
ter's Stomach Bitters, they may expect relief
with a certainty Of obtaining it. The influence
of the Bitters upon the great hillary gland is di
rect, powerful and speedily felt. The relief az
foried is not spasmodie, but complete and per
manent The sallowneSs of the skin, fnrred ap-
pearanee of the tongue, indigestion, costiyeness,

cine in behalf of which testimony is constantly
emanating from every quarter, and from all
classes Of society.
