part was warmly appreciated. a buffet

The First SIS Bill

The first s. greenback issued by our govern
ment was in 1852, and ever since 1864 has been
the heirloom of a prominent family. Its age
has increased its value greatly. This is also
true in regard to Hostetters stomach Bitters.
II was introduced 80 years ago. and because it
positively cures stomach. liver and bowel dis
orders it is valued more highly than any other
remedy. Those who have once tried it always
keep bottle on hand to cure dyspepsia,
nausea, indigestion. dizziness, heartburn, in
somnia- chils. colds or malaria. Sickly women,
too, realize its wonderful value as a health
maker and regulator. BE sure to try it. Your
druggist Will supply you with the genuine,
also give you a copy of our 1904 illustrated
Almanac. Ask for il before the supply is ex.
hausted.
