STILL MORE CoUNTERFEITING.

The Secret Service has unearthed an
other band of counterfeiters, and secur-
ed large quantity Of bogus bills, which
are so cleverly executed that the aver
age person would never suspect 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 indi-
gestion, dyspepsia, constipation, ner-
vousness, and general debility. The Bit
tiers sets things right in the stomach,
and when the stomach is in good order
it makes blood and plenty of it, In
this manner the Bitters restores vigor
to the weak and debilitated. Beware
of counterfeiters when buying. See
that private Revenue Stamp covers
