Great Britain's Strength.

From recent trade returns of Great
Britain can be learned wherein lies the
great reserve power which enables that
country to build a greater navy and carry
OH such long and expensive wars. Inc
wealth of the average person depends
greatly on the condition of his health,
and for this reason it is essential that
we take the best possible care of 1t. An
occasional dose of Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters will do much toward keeping you
in good health, and if taken regularly will
cure fatulency, belching, indigestion,
dyspepsia, constipation, nervousness. liver
and kidney troubles or malaria, fever and
ague. If you are a sufferer from any of
these diseases you should certainly give
it a trial. 1t will not disappoint you.
