Swept hv a Cyclone

OF appreciation to the pinnacle of popularity,
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters has acquired a
commanding position, which has occasionally
made it bright and shining mark for knaves
who seek to foist upon the comm unity spurious
compounds in the guise akin to that of the
real article. These are most local bitters or
tonics of great impurity, and of course, devoid
of medicinal efficacy. Beware of them and
get the genuine Bitters, real remedy for
malaria, rheumatism. kidney trouble, dyspep-
STA, nervousness. constipation and bilionsncss.
Physicians of eminencc everywhere commend
the great invigorant both for its remedial
properties and its purity. a wincglass thrice q
day will soon bring vigor and regularity 10 a
disordered and enfeebled system.
