milE POPULAR TONIC of the AGE. 
X Tho day has gone by when a medicine without 
merit could command and retain tho contldenoe of 
the world. Advertising Indues* the public to try 
many things, but in tills shrmvd and thoughtful ago 
word* will not suffice without proofs, and It Is by tho 
exercise of their private Judgment men determine 
the relative value or tno various articles recom¬ 
mended to their notice through the business col¬ 
umns of newspaper*. Hostetler's HtOUiacl> Bitters 
,,as now been subjected to this searching ordeal for 
more than eighteen years, and the result is that it 
stands at the head of the class of remedies to which 
it belongs. It has distanced and lived down Innu¬ 
merable competitors, and la to-day the Standard 
Vegetable Tonic of the Western world. The happy 
effects which have followed its use In cases of dys¬ 
pepsia. biliousness, nervous affections, Intermittent 
fevers and general debility, and »s a constitutional 
invigoratu, have entitled it. to universal confidence. 
Nothing can ever shake Us reputation, for It Is based 
on the individual experiences of tons of thousand* 
of witnesses, embracing prominent and well-known 
citizens of every profession, occupation and class. 
There is not a city, town or settlement In the United 
States where It is not a medicinal staple. No drug, 
gist, or general dealer would consider his stock com¬ 
plete without it, and the returns of the Internal rev¬ 
enue depart merit show that Its sales exceed those of 
any other proprietary restorative manufactured on 
this side of the Atlantic. The beneficial results de¬ 
rived during a lung series of years from the use of 
Hostetler's Bitters, have convinced the whole com¬ 
munity that the Only true way to restore to health it 
broken down or debilitated system, nr to put the 
human body on its defense when exposed to unwhole¬ 
some intiuoneos, is to invigorate, mutate and puri,fy 
it at one and the same time.
