Western Settlers Chosen Specific

With every advance of emigration into
far west. new demand is created for
HoStetter'S Stomach BitterS. Newly
peopled regions are frequently less Salu-
bilious than older settled localities, on ac-
count of the miasma which rises from
recently cleared land, particularly along
the banks of rivers that are subject to
freshets. The agricultural or mining
emigrant soon learns, when he does not
already know, that the Bitters afford the
only sure protection against malaria, and
those disorders of the stomach, liver and
bowels, to which climatic changes, eX-
posture, and unaccustOmcd or unhealthy
water or diet subject him. Consequently,
he places an estimate upon this great
household specific and preventive com,
mensurate with its intrinsic merits, and
is careful to keep on hand a restorative
and promoter of health so Implicitly to be
relied upon in time of need. 3-lS-6t
