A Standard Bearer.

In the ernsade Inaumirated nearly half a century ago against the professional ignorance of the old school of medicine, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters was a standard- bearer. Its victories over disease, when the old-time specifics proved abject failures, proved that the pseudo-philosophy which sanctioned the administration of violent remedies where the case required none, which laid down as unalterable rules blood-letting, violent purgation, the use of emetics and the employment of corrosive and cumulative poisons in simple cases of liver and malarial complaint, was in fact the worst of unphilosophy, contrary alike te the laws of true medicinal science, of hygiene and of common sense. Biliousness, constlpa“on chills and fever, as now treated' by the Bitters, promptly yield where before they obstinately resisted old-fashioned medication. Bo do dyspepsia, rheumatism and kidney comP>uht—all surely conquerable by this safe and really philosophic remedy.
