PoBki bly bo has turned from tho friend who made tho suggestion with a sneer, intimating that ho has no faith in any '?patent medicine." If this baa been tho case, so much thc icorse for him. His incredulity dooms him to a lifo of misery. All the luxuries which wealth can purchase aro at his command. Not ono of them can give him plea? sure. His own irrational obstinacy is bis bane. Tho masses, happily for themselves, aro loss skeptical. Thero is such a thing as bigoted unbe? lief', as woll as bigoted credulity, and; a golden moan between tho two, which men and women who are gifted with common sense adopt and profit by. ThcBO are the class that patronize and recommend HosTETTEn's BITTERS. Why do they approve this famous anti-dyspeptic and anti? phons preparation? Simply because they have not boen too much tho slaves of sonseleea preju? dice to give it a fair trial, and have found that when all other tonics, stimulants and stomachics failed, it produced tho desired effect. "Strike, but hear," said the Roman sage, when his ignorant enemies were assailing him. "Doubt, but try," says tho man who has boon cured of in digostion, or biliousness, or intermittent fever, by tho Bitters, as bo relates his experience of the medicine to his invalid friends. Whoever is so wedded to his own foregone theoretical conclu? sions, as to declino to test tho properties of a medicino endorsed by the testimony of intelligent men in every walk of lifo, and approved by the people at large, deserves to stiffer, Nay 2 f7 To Consumptives...-Thc advertiser, having been restored to health in a few weeks, by a very simple remedy-after having suffered several years with a severe lung affection, and that dread dis? ease, Consumption- is anxious to make known to his fellow-sufferers thc means of cure.
