i N OLD FALLACY EXPLODED.- 
*■ Thirty or forty years ago. it was the fashion to 
administer powerful purgatives os “spring medi¬ 
cines.” Terrific doses of salts and senna, calomel and 
Jalap, or glanber salts were given to all the members 
of a family, whether sick or well, by way of preparing 
them for the warm weather In prospect. This per¬ 
nicious custom is nearly obsol :te, but there are sonic 
old Bourbons of private life. Incapable alike of for¬ 
getting anything or learning anything, who obsti¬ 
nately cling to It still. Nothing could be more per¬ 
nicious, more utterly unphilosophlcal, than such an 
onslaught on the vigor and elasticity of tho system. 
In order to enable tho physical structures to resist 
the enervating effects of spring damps and summer 
heats, It should bo toned and reinforced, not relaxed 
and weakened. The best medicine ugont for this 
purpose is Hostetler's Stock Bitters. Its effect is 
to tone the stomach and liver, geutly relievo the 
bowels from obstructions, brace tho nerves, improve 
the quality of the blood, stimulate the appetite and 
cheer the spirits. In this improved condition the 
organization is capable of resisting unhealthy in- 
Hucnoes, which would prostrate an enfeebled sys¬ 
tem. A vigorous digestion is absolutely essential to 
health, and there is no danger of the stomach falt er¬ 
ing or failing ill Us Important OtttcO If this genial 
vegetable elixir is taken regularly ns u stomachic. 
None of the tonic tinctures nr extracts will supply 
the place, of the Bil lers, for the simple reason that 
they operate as astringents only. In fact, in ordi¬ 
nary practice, live or six prescriptions would be re¬ 
quired to produce separately the beneficial results 
which are c?ffected simultaneously and harmoniously 
by this single specific. __
