sun More CONTRIBUTING.

The Secret Service has unearthed
another band Of counterfeiters and
secured'a large quantity OF bogus bills,
which are so cleverly executed that
the average person would never sus-
pect them of being spurious. Things
OF great value are always selected by
counterfeiters for imitation, notably
the celebrated Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters, which has many imitators but
no equals for indigestion, dyspepsia,
constipation, nervousness and general
debility. The Bitters sets things right
in the stomach, and when the stomach
is in good order it makes good blood
and plenty of it. In this manner the
Bitters get at the seat OF strength and
vitality. and restore vigor to the weak
and debilitated. Beware OF counter
feits when buying.
