Can't You Catch On

Ask those who have tried il, and they
will tell that Hostetter's Stomach Bitters
is matches laxative, efectual without
violence - thoroughly alternative, but
perfectly reliable. 1t invigorates, too,
no less than it regulates the system, and
it ia chiefly to this first quality that il
owes the permsnency Of its regulating
effects, since, if vigor is lacking in the
region of the bowels, the stomach or
the liver. healthful activity in those
organs is suspended. Dsobstruents and
cathartics in general are simply that
and nothing more; they relax the bowels
merely without invigorating them, and
as their laxative action is usually
abrupt and violent, they really tend to
weaken the organs. Use the Bitters
also, for malaria, rheumatism, indiges
ton, debility and kidney trouble.
