INVIGORATE THU RM?PON8IBLE5 oHOAd- Tho stomach ia tho responsible organ of tho eyatcm. If tho digeatiou ia im? perfect, evory member, every gland, every mnaolo, every norvo and fibre ie more or looa ont of order. AU tho fluida are depraved. The brain ia clouded. The apirita aro de? pressed. All dyapoptica know thia to bo tho truth. It ia not, however, half the truth. Columna would bc required to enumerate the pains and penalties of dyspepsia, nor could any pen do them justice. Tens of thousands fool them; no man can deacriho them. Can they be prevented? Can they bo ro lieved? Can they bo banished at onco and forovei? Ul questionably they can. No d\a Septic haa over taken HOSTETTER'S 8TO [ ACH BITTERS in vain. Behove no ono who says tho complaint ia incurable. This'crcat vegetable stomachic will eradicate it-ia eradicating it in thousands of cases over which medical pract?lionera bavo shaken their beads ominously, Baying, "Nothing can be done." Tho faculty haB ita fallacies. Ono of them is, that indigestion ia tho most difficult of all the ordiuary ailments of mankind to combat and subdue. Thia is a mistake. Nothing can ho easier than to conquer it if tho true spe? cific bo administered. Tho vegetable combi? nation which bas become famous throughout tho civilized world aa Hostettcr's Stomach Kit I cru, is an antidote to tho disuaso which has never been known to fail, and fortunately it is everywhere procurable. If you wish tb fool with tho dyapspeia try tho pharmacopoeia prescriptions. If you want to root it out and prevent its roenrrence, take thc Bitters daily. There is no discount on the testimony in its favor. If there is a man or woman who has ever tried it for indigestion without being benefited, tho fact h ts not transpired. Uni? versal, uncontiadictcd praise avouches its wonderful topic vtriuea. M a rob 15 f SI? KC IA I.
