The Greatest Monarch

Is fit subject for pity If he is troubled
with dyspepsia, while his poorest subject
who digests properly may well be envied
by prince thus afflicted. The dyspeptics of
every cline and nation owe debt of graf
itude to Hostetters Stomach Bitters,
which rescues them from one of the most
obstinate and troublesome complaints
against which medical skill is directed. On
this continent, in Europe and the tropics,
this sterling remedy is pre-eminently and
justly popular, not only as a stomachic.
but also as means Of preventing and cur
ing malarial, rheumatic, kidney, bilious
and nervous disorders. 1t improves appe-
tite and sleep, hastens convalescence and
the acquisition of vigor after exhausting
maladies, and counteracts the infirmities
of age. A wineglassful taken before retir-
ing has a tendency to promote tranquil,
health-yieding sleep. a boon much coveted
by nervous invalids.
