r PHK HOUSEHOLD TONIC. -The effica¬ 
cy of Hostetler's Celebrated Stomach Bit¬ 
ters as a specific for recruiting die enfeebled 
body and cheering I In- desponding mlud lias 
passed Into a proverb. In the United States, 
where t his marvelous tonic lias borne down all 
opposition and eclipsed all rivalry, the demand 
for It has annually increased in a heavier and 
heavier ratio for years, until at last, the regular 
■ales of this preparation exceed those of all oth¬ 
er •tomachtes combined. Eminent members of 
the medical profession and hospital surgeons 
without number, have candidly admitted that 
the pharmacopoeia of the faculty eonfains no 
prescription that, produces such beneficial effects 
in dyapepshi. general debility and nervous dis- 
wr* a* Hostetler's Bitters. To use the lau- 
gnags of a venerable physician of New York, 
“The Bitters are the purest stimulant and the 
nffeat tonic we have.” But the uses ot the great 
vegetable antidote are much more comprehen¬ 
sive than such praise would imply. As a pre¬ 
paratory antidote to epidemic disease, a genial 
stimulant, a promoter of constitutional vigor, 
an appetiser, a stomachic, and a remedy for 
nervous debility, no medicinal preparation has 
aver attaint"! the reputation of Hostetler's Hi t- 
fisrs. It is the household tonic of the American 
people, and in all tinman probability will be 80 
for oenturtea to com e. The magnates of science 
eaeoffnlae its merits; and that it is emphatically 
tbe medicine of the' masses, is proved by its vast 
and ever increasing sales.
