o HOSTETTBE’S CELEBRATED STOMACH BITTEBS.

A pure and powerful Tonic, corrective and ; alterative of wonderful efficacy in disease of the Stomach, Liver and Bowels. Cures Dys ; 1 pepsin, Liver complaint, Headache, General j liability, Nervousness, Depression of Spirits,! j constipation, colic, intermittent fevers, cramps 1 and spasms, and all complaints of either Sex, | arising from bodily weakness whether inher j ent in the system or produced by special causes, j Nothing that is not wholesome, genial ami ■ restorative in its nature enters into the compo sition of Hcsitetter’s Stomach Bitters. This I popular preparation contains no mineral of any kind, no deadly botanical element; no fiery < xcitant; but it is a combination of the extracts of rare balsamic herbs and plants with the purest and mildest of all diffusive stimu’aLts. It is well to be forearmed against disease, and, so far as the human system car. be protec ted by human means against maladies engenI dered by an unwholesome atmosphere, impure water and other external causes, Ho-tetter’s ' Bitters may be relied on as a safeguard. In districts infested with Fever and Ague, it has been found infallible as a preventive and irresistible as a remedy and thousands who resort to it under apprehension of an attack, escape the scourge; and thousands who neglect to avail themselves of its protective qualities in advance, are cured by a very brief course of this marvelous medicine. Fever ami Ague patients, after being plied with quinine for i months in vain, until fairly saturated with that dangerous alkaloid, are not uh frequently restored to health within a few days by the use of Hostetter’s Bitters. The weak stomach is rapidly invigorated and the appetite restored by this agreeable Tonic, and hence it works womlera in cases of Dyspepsia and in less confirmed forms of Indigj STiox Acting as a gentle and painless apperient, as well as upon the liver, it also invariably relieves the Constipation superinduced ! by irregular action of the digestive ami secrej live organs Persons of feeble habit, liable to ( Nervovs Attacks, Lown ss f Spirits, and Fits of ' Langour, find prompt am. permanent relict I from the Bitters The testimony on this point I is most conch sive. and from both sexes. The agony of Bilious Colic is immediately [ assuaged by a single dose of the stimulant, and ’ by occasionally resorting to it, the return of the complaint may be prevented. i Asa general Tonic, Hostetter’s Bitters proI duce effects which must be experienced or witnessed before they can be fully appreciated. — ; In cases of Fonstitutional Weakness, Premature ‘ Decoy and Debility and Decrepitude arising ‘‘rom Old Age, it. exercises the electric influ- .
