Hope Crushed 10 Earth

Will rise again in the bosom of a dys- p-ptic wise enough to substitute for tine pseudOtonics, which have bamboo zled him out of his belief in the pos sibiliiy of cure, the real invigorant and stomachic, HostetteI's Stoma ach Bit ters. The bilious, the nervous, the dyspeptic, the rheumatic, alike derive speedy benefit from this helpful be- taDic medicine. Persons suffering from indigestion will gain no positive permanent good from the fl ", un-
 medicated stimulants of commerce, too often used recklesslyAThe Bit ters is immeasurabIy to be preferred
 to these as tonic, since iis pure basis is modified by the conjunction with it of vegetable ingredients of the highest remedial excellence. Malaria is pre- vented by it, aud it infuses vigor into the weak and sickly. A wineglassful three times a day is the average dose.
