rpHRICE AltHICD. THItICIC IS HE 
A armed who keeps within reach of his hand a 
speciflo that at one and the same timn will strength- 
en, regulate and purify Ills system when enfeebled, 
disordered and corrupted. 
Such Is the three-fold operation r,f Hostettcr’s 
Stomach Bitters, and hence the great superiority Of 
that standard vegetable restorative over all medi¬ 
cines that are merely tonics and nothing else. The 
effect of the ordinary astringent tluctures and ex¬ 
tracts upon the bowel* is disastrous, and upon thu 
depraved blood or bile they produce no beneficial 
effects whatever. In dyspepsia and liver complaint 
all tho fluids uod humors of the body aro more or 
loss infected, and the bowels are often badly consti¬ 
pated. Ao unmodified astringent— quinine for In¬ 
stance-does infinitely move harm than good in such 
cases. In Hostetter’s Bitters, on the other hand, the 
stimulating and tonic elements arc qiiullflud With 
aporlent* and antiseptic Ingredient*. The tines* 
laxatives and blood depurlonta In the vegetable 
kingdom me Intermixed with those of a purely in¬ 
vigorating nature, and under the operation of this 
admirable combination, the throe important pro¬ 
cesses of invlgoratlon, regulation and purification 
go on together. Tho rapidity with which tho dis¬ 
ordered organization returns to its natural condi¬ 
tion. under a course of the Hitters. 1s due to this 
cause. Every disturbed function of the body is 
favorably affected by the various properties of this 
comprehensive aud well balanced preparation. As 
a general rule, the bowels arc more subject to Irregu¬ 
larities, and the fluld9 more liable to bceonio vitiated 
In spring and summer than in winter, and hence the 
Bitters are especially valuable as a spring and sum¬ 
mer alterative, corrective und invigorunt. At all 
seasons where the seeds of intermittent fevers in¬ 
fect the air, this healthful vegetable elixir should 
he taken as a protective medicine.
