Greenland the Fatherland of the
MOsOuitO

M. Francois Du Barri, an adventurous
French hunter who has just returned from
a shooting trip in Greenland, says that he
believes he has made singular discovery,
namely, that this land of ice and snow is
the fatherland of the mosquito, so nu-
merous there are these winged pests. They
are more harrassing than the home prod
uct of New Jersey, but not so much so as
the nervous complaints that Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters will promptly relieve.
Through the instrumentality of digestion
and assimilation improved by the bitters,
the nerves, no less than other portions of
the human mechanism, acquire vigor and
steadiness. The medicine also cures and
prevents rheumatism, indigestion, malaria,
kidney complaint and constipation. and
builds up depleted physical energy. 1t i'm
parts zest for the foodand promotes night
ly slumber. 1t is beneficial to the old, the
young and the middle-aged, persons of ro-
bust constitution and those in delicate
health. Convalescence proceeds without
tardiness when it is used.
