Medical Bubbles.

Columns would be required to enumerate the medical bubbles that have risen to the surface and burst since Hostetter's Stomach Bitters became the standard tonic of the Western Hemisphere. Boasts the most extravagant, fabrications the most preposterous, cant the most slokening, have in turn been employed to bolster up the worthless preparations that have, from time to time, been Introduced in the hope of dividing the field with that most famous vegetable remedy. Signal failure has been the lot of each and all. The reputation of the Bitters as a preventive of epidemics, a stomachic, an invigorant, a general restorative, and a specific for fever and ague, indigestion, bilious affections, rheumatism, nervous debility, constitutional weakness, and all complaints u> which the more sensitive sex are exclusively liable, is established upon the sound basis of more than twenty years’ experience, and can no more be shaken by the clap-trap nostrums of unscientific pretenders than the everlasting hills by the winds that rustle through their defiles. The reason that girls lace so tight in these days is because the young man comes short of duty.
