Face to Face with Disease.

How often it happens that, although we hare witnessed the ravages of disease in the ease of others, we disregard his warning signals in our own. It is only when we find him face to face with us that we really perceive how grim ho is. Then, perchance, when it is too late, medicinal aid is sought. His avant courier, his forerunner, is physical weakness. Fortify the system, and you are armed against him. The finest tonic for this purpose is Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters, which renders digestion easy and complete, nourishes the system, improves the appetite, gives strength-yielding sleep, counteracts biliousness, and keeps the bowels in firstrate order. Leanness, and unnatural wanness and sollowness of the face, are obviated by it, and so genial and beneficial are its offects that not only is the body invigorated and regulated by its use, but despondency banished from the mind. The Rev. Henry Ward Beecher, in his lecture on “ The wastes and burdens of society,” claims “man’s natural life to be 80 years, and, as the average lifo is but 33 yoars, there must be a waste of 47 years.” Tliore is much of truth in this statement. If a man be unfortunate in business, it is attributed to the violation of some commercial law. Now, if a person bo taken off in tho prime of life, ought it not to bo attributed to the violation of some physiological law? If pooplo only know better, they would live bettor and longer ; but how can they profit by that which they know not of? The only popular work that moots this groat want is Dr. Pierce’s Common Sense Medical Adviser. In it tho great problems of disease and health are fully discussod. Tho work contains over 900 pages and 250 colored plates and wood-cuts. Price $1.50 (post-paid). Address the author, R. V. Pierce, M. D., Buffalo, N. Y.
