Malarial disease is invariably supple
mented by disturbance of the liver, the
bowels, the stomach and the nerves. To
the removal of both the cause and its eff
fects, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is fully
adequate. 1t fills the bill'' as other
remedy does, performing its work thor
oughly- Its ingredients are pure and whole
some, and it admirably serves to build up a
system broken by ill health and shorn of
strength. Constipation, liver and kidney
complaint and nervousness are conquered
by it.
