A Healthv Body and a Clear Head

If indigestion, constipation and bilious
ness torment the body, che head cannot be
clear. These disorders react upon the
brain most hurtfully, and produce a
cloudiness in the organ of thought not
experienced by healthy man. Happily.
these brain-oppressing maladies may be
entirely dispelled by that peerless altera-
tive Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. which
cheers, refreshes and invigorates the brain
and nerves, while it regulates the organs
of digestion, assimilation and bilious Sc
cretion. 1t expels the morbid humors which
poison the system through the bowels and
urinary passages and exerts powerful in
vigorating influence as well. Its cathartic
action is never irritating, violent or pain
full, but even natural and progressive.
AS an appetizer and sleep-promoter the
Bitters is unrivaled; 1t mitigates the in
firmities of age, relieves the ailments
peculiar to the gentler sex, arrests pre-,
mature decay, and. builds up an enfeebled
physique.
