ROUND, ROSY FACES.

Laughing eyes, frames full of vigor
and elasticity, are blessings attainable
by the cadayerous, the haggard nd the
dyspeptic, who try that wisest of ex-
pseriments-an experiment whose hap
DIV outcome is testified Ito by myriads--
viz, a course of Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters, promptly begun and steadily
pursued. There is no tonic comparable
to it in efficacy, none more agdreeable
and speedily beneficial. The nervous
and dyspeptic, suffering from malaria,
rheumatism, constipation, bilousness
and kidney troubles are rapidly aided
by the Bitters, and it is one of the best
means of counteracting the effects OF
excessive bodily or mental fatigue, and
exposure in wet or inclement weather.
Persons of a sedentary habits find it
a most useful revivifier and recupera-
tor of exhausted energy. Use it in or
der to sleep well, eat heartily and di-
gest thoroughly. Physicians every
where speak in high terms of it.
