A Healthy Stomach
Is a blessing for ■which thousands of our dyspeptic countrymen and women sigh in vain, and to oltoin which sw allow much medicine unavailingly. Tor no ailment—probat ly—nre there so many alleged remedies as for dyspepsia. The man of humbug is constantly glutted with the dollars and dimes of those who resort to one nostrum after another in the vain hope of obtaining relief, at least, from this vexatious and obstinate malady. Experience indicates Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters as a means of eradicating dyspepsia, in which a Arm reliance can bo pieced. No remedy has in three decades and over established such a reputation, nono has received such unqualified professional sanction. It is an admirable invigorant, because it enriches the blood, and not only this, but it thoroughly regulates the bowels, kidneys and bladder. The nervoqg symptoms are usually relieved by the mediviue. Previous to the reign of Alexander the Great the Greeks wore beards, but during the wars of that monarch they commenced shaving, the practice having been suggested, it is said, by Alexander, for the purpose of depriving the enemy of an opportunity of catching the soldiers by the beard. The fashion thus begun continued until the reign of Justinian, when long beards again became customary. The first year of the Christian era began on the Jewish Sabbath, Saturday. The early Christians, until the era of the birth of Christ had been estimated, dated from the accession of Diocletian in 284.
