"Hail to the Chief!"

This is half the title Of an old song. The
balance is, Who in triumph advances" The
public, the press and the medical profession
chant this refrain as especially applicable to
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, chief among
American remedies and ~preventives for ma
laria, constipation. dyspepsia, liver COM
plant, nervousness, unquiet sleep, rheumatic
twinges, and the troubles incident to adj
vanced age. 1t is also universally recognized
as a reliable tonic and appetizer. As a family
medicine particularly suitable to emergencies
it has no equal. The nervous. the feeble seek
its aid, and the happiest results follow. The
convalescent. the aged and the infirm derive
infinite benefit from its use. Against the in
fuences Of impure air, bad water. unaccus-
toned food, overwOrk and exposure 1t is a
genuine preventive.
