Evaryrhlng aoes Wrong

In the bodily mechanism when the liver gets
out OF order. Constipation, dyspepsia, contami-
nation of the blood, imperfect assimilation are
certain to ensue. But it is easy to prevent these
and remove their cause, by a
course of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. which
stimulates the hillary organ and regulates its
action. The direct result is disappearance of
the pains beneath the ribs and through the
snoplder piaae, tne nausea heaaaches, yellow,
sour odor of the breath, which characterize liver
complaint. Sound digestion and regular habit
OF body are blessings so secured by the use of
this celebrated restorative of health, which inn
parts degree of vigor to the body which is its
best guarantee of safety from malarial epidemics
Nerve weakness and over-tension are relieved by
it, and it improves both appetite and sleep.
