Shamrock III,

All true lovers of sport in this country
will look forward with much interest to
the arrival of the new cup challenger,
Shamrock III, which the English people
expect will lift the cup this year. While
America has held the supremacy i'm
yacht building for years she also holds
the supremacy in medicine. Take Hostel
ter's IN Bitters as an example. Nc
other country in the world has been able
to produce a medicine so good to re-
store the appetite, build up the run down
system in the spring or to cure nausea,
indigestion, hatulency, dyspepsia, con-
stipated bowels, biliousness or malaria,
fever and ague. 1t is therefore deserv-
ing of a trial. Be sure to get the gem
uine with our Private Stamp over the
neck OF The bottle. 1t will cure you.
