An Abominable Legacy.

A tendency to rheumatism is undoubtedly
inherited. Unlike many other legacles, it
remains in the family. The most effectual
means of checking this tendency, or of re-
moving incipient rheumatism, whether pre-
existeptin the blood or not, is to resort to
Hostetter's stomach bitters as soon as the
premonitory twinges are felt. Multiplying
the influences of cold, exposure and fatigue,
the Bitters not only fortities the system
against their hurtful consequences, but sub
jugates malaria, liver and kidney complaint,
dyspepsia and nerve disquietude.

such a growth and an old man or woman
infused with health and vigor. The sine

vigorous youth. robust manhood and q
verile old age, is sound digestion. With,
out this life is shorn of the hearty zest
that should attend it. No more benefi-
cent and agreeable contributor to the at

means OF counteracting the inArmities
that too often attend life's decline, can be
found than Hostetter's Stomach Bitters.
