Is Life Worth Liyinc.

If there Is an individual on earth who is excuseble for thus interrogating himself, 1t is the unhappy mortal who suffers from ma laria in some one of its diabolical forms. This is no difficult conundrum, however. Life Is worth living by any man or woman who enjoys good health, and is not harrassed by Q reproachful conscience. The malaria scourge, heavily laid on, is a terrible one for the poor sufferer to endure. 4 series of freezings and scorchings and sweats-the last leaving one as limp and as strengthless as dish rag, are hard indeed, recurring as they do with fendish regularity. Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is the worldwide known preventive and curative of this class of maladies, either in the form of ague and fever, bilious remittent, dumb ague and ague cake. Used with persistence they will rely upon it, eradicate disease from the sys- tenn. They also conquer rheumatism, kidney and bladder complaints, nervousness and dyspepsia, liver complaint and constipation, and renew failing strength.
