An EquIvaIent for suicide.

If we allow our bodily infirmities to make
away with through neglect, have we such
an immense moral advantage over the DELHI
crate suicide? Scarcely. For example, the
deadly progress of Brlght's disease, diabetes,
acute nephitis and gravel, is sure-often ter
ribly swift in the catastrophe. Most people
of average information know that this is the
simple, unvarnished truth in regard to those
widely prevalent maladies. To delay judi
cious medication is specially suicidal in such
cases. The means of restraint is to be found
in Hostetter's Stomach BItters. Give an inn
petus to the action of the kidneys with this
safe and reliable dluretic. and the infant
complaint is shorn at it's birth of the power
for evil. Allow it to grow and anticipate the
worst. The Bitters, which annihilates these
growing troubles, also eradicates dyspepsia,
rheumatism, malarial and liver complaints.
Appetite, sleep and vigor are also promoted
by it.
