The Holland Submarine Boat.

All our readers are familiar with the
Holland submarine boat, with which it
is possible to go about completely under
water. If the enemy have big war
ship lying in strongly fortified harbor,
the boat can be submerged and make
its way to the ship, place powerful ex-
plosive under it, and blow it to pieces
without appearing above water. While
this boat secretly destroys ships of the
enemy, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters like
wise attacks and overcomes dangerous
diseases. A few doses will give relief
in any stomach or liver disorder. The
Bitlers not only cure the sick, but pre-
vent the well from becoming sick. 1t
should be taken by all who need a
strengthening tonic.
