The Era of Muscle.

This la an athletic-age. Everybody wants to be strong. The craze—for it has well nigh reached that stage—affects both sexes and even childhood. The pugilistic phase of this fad in young America is by no means morally promis ing. But it is one thing to be endowed with vigor and another to be Sandowed with muscle. Super muscularity is often induced by physical effort perilous to heultn and calculated to shorten life. The vigor which means a regular and efficient discharge of the physical functions is the first medium at which all may safely alm without causing ruptures or breaking blood vessels. Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is largely conducive to a gain in vigor of this sort, since it stimulates and assists digestion, promotes regular bilious secretion and keeps the bowels in order. Sleep, that grand recuperator of nervous vigor, is encouraged by it, and it remedies malarial, rheumatic and kidney trouble. Everything is free when It te given away, except a bride. For Strengthenlugand Clearing the Voice, use Browns Bronchial Tbochbs.—“l have recommended them to friends who were public speakers and they have proved extremely serviceable.”—Kev. Henry Ward Beecher. Dentists are not all farmers, but they live off the aehers just the same.
