The Sword Discarded,

In the British army the sword has
been discarded, so far as it's useful
ness is concerned in modern warfare.
A half century ago it was considered
the best weapon, but the rifle has now
taken it's place. At the present time
thousands Of people are discarding
their old methods Of trying to cure
stomach and bowel complaints, and
are using the old reliable Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters. 1t has never been
known to fail in cases of Indigestion,
dyspepsia, constipation, biliousness,
liver and kidney troubles, or malaria,
fever and ague, and a trial is therefore
recommended. 1t has been before the
public for fifty years, and by it's rec
ord of cures during that time has firm
ly established it's superiority over all
other remedies. Try a bottle and sat
isfy yourself.
