The Keystone of the Arch

In the edifice of health is vigor, which means
not merely muscular energy, but an active
discharge of the various functions of the
body such as Digestion secretion of the bile,
the action of the bowels, the circulation Of
the blood. Nothing more actively and thor
oughly contributes to the united performance
of these functions than the renowned tonic
and regulator, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters.
The result of it's use is speedy gain in
strength, together with the agreeable con-
sciousness that the tenure Of life is being
strengthened-that one is laying up store
of vitality against the unavoidable draughts
which old age makes upon the system. The
fortifying influence of the Bitters constitute
it a reliable safeguard against malaria, rheu-
matism and kidney trouble. Appetite and
sleep improve through it's use and 1t pro-
tects the system from the effects of cold and

Down in the silver lake.

They read ana read and mediate.
They're blinded by this siren song.
And thus they pause-they hesitate

And carry the polls some day.
