$4,000 900 Lost on Horse Races.

1t is stated that a man won and lost
$4,000 eco on horse races. For twenty years
he kept at it, and most of the time he was
successful. At last fortune turned against
him, and to-day he is penniless. Gambling
is a good deal like neglect of health. 1t
can be kept up a long time. but in the end
it is disastrous. Fortunes are harder to
restore than health. The first step toward
winning back lost health is to restore the
digestive organs to a normal condition.
For his purpose Hostetter's Stomach Bit
tiers is far ahead of anything else. This
remedy is a specific for indigestion. dys-
pepsia. fever, ague. nervousness and Sleep
lessness. 1t is a wonderful tonic. Drug
