Helping the Right side.

To help the right side is not only
commendable in a general point of views
but is judicious and prudent when that he'r
is enlisted in behalf of the right side of the
body, just oyer the lower ribs in the region
of the liver. The most efficient help is
afforded by Hostetter's Stomach Bitters,
an anti bilious medicine of incompatible
efficacy. lnaction of the liver Is accom-.
panied by constipation, slck-headache
furred tongue, nausea, occasional vertigo
an unpleasant breath, yellowness of the
skin and ball or the eye. The author Of
these symptoms, liver complaint, routed by
the Bitters is accompanied by them in It's
fight. Fever and sgue, which always in
wolves the liver, dyspepsia, rheumatism
debility and kidney troubles are all maladie'
to the early relief and find cure of whicl
this standard medicine is adap o !. Dom
use it by fits and starts, but Systematically
that its full effects may result in perfec
restoration of health.
