Cannibalism In Sa,nOa-Dead Stal warts
Eaten to Obtain Strength
and Courage

writer on the French Journal des De-
bats, who has just returned from trip
to Samoa, says that nineteen per cent Of
the population eat stalwart warriors who
fall in battle to obtain strength and cour-
age. The former quality is more easily
obtained in civilized communities by the
u.> of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, a
tonic Of unexampled utility, which confers
strength upon the feeble through the agen-
cy of improved digestion and assimilation
of the food. The operations Of that myste-
rous alembic, the human stomach, are
often greatly impeded by those obstacles
to complete Observation-Disclosures and con-
stipation. For these ailments Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters is a sovereign remedy.
1t also conquers and prevents rheumatism,
kidney troubles and nervousness. Recu-
peration of exhausted strength after sick
ness is often tedious and slow. The Bitters
will always hasten the recovery of vigor
