The Biggest Fool at Large

Is the individual who presistently ueglects his
health. and the means of preserving and re-
storing it. Many persons who are not con-
stitutional idiots do this. They arc genuine
objects of compassion as well as censure. a
failure of appetite, loss of sleep and flesh, i'm
paired digestion, an uncertain state of the
bowels and symptoms of biliousness are SO
many warnings of the approach of disease. To
disregard them is abject folly, which offended
nature in due time Furnishes severely, If not
fatally. That genial aud thoroughly reliable
preventive of bodily mischief in. the shape of
chronic disease, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters,
will, If rcsorted to in time, avert those disor-
ders, to the removal of which it is also fully
adequate. Among these are chronic indiges-
ton, liver complaint, kidney troubles, consti-
patton, nervousness, rheumatism aud malaria.
