Nations New Weapon,

The American soldier is to be armed

pom and the most powerful one eve
designed. The most reliable remedy
ever compounded for all ailments of

ebrated Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. 1t
has stood the severe test of over fifty
years with such remarkable success
that today finds it the most popular
medicine in thousands of homes. 1t is
a wise policy to keep a bottle of the
bitters in the house at all times as a
preventive and cure for heartburn,
