How We Used to be Physicked.

Who does not remember the time when sprinj purgation was considered indispensable to summer health? No matter for wry faces, the inevlta ble salt* and senna, rhubarb, or calomel and jalap, must he administered. These’ spring medicines,” tne youngsters were told, were to keep them hale and hearty during the summer. We all know now that tills was a fallacy; that new vigor, not deple tlon, is what is required at the commencement of the summer solstice. As a preparation for the enervating effects'of oppressive summer weather, a course of Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters is highly expedient. This famous vegetable preparation has three prominent properties: it renovates, purifies, and regulates all the functions of the body. It ie composed exclusively of pure vegetable productions, viz: the essential principle of Monongahela Kye, end the most efficacious tonic and alterative roots, barks, and gnms known to medical botanists. Hence, it is an absolutely safe medicine and no tincture of the Pharmacopoeia can compare with it, either in purity, or in the variety of its objects, and its comprehensive results. Happily for mankind, the theory that it was necessary to prostrate a patient in order to cure him, is forever exploded, and the true philosophical doctrine, that vigor is the great antagonist of disease, has taken its plkce. 'Tlostetter’s Bitters is an invigorant, and hence it is the proper medicine for the feeble at this most trying season of the year. Be sure that you obtain the genuine article, as there arc innumerable vile imitations in the market. Look to the ornamental stamp, the engraved label, and the name blown into the glass. Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters is sold in bottles only.
