To do this, a reliable system regulator Is required. :• medicine t bat will cleanse, strengthen and stimulate. The celebrated Prickly Ash Bitters Is partic ularly adopted to perform t his service, hence its name "The System Regulator." It exer cises Its good influence in the stomach by re moving badly digested matter and assisting the proper disposition of food, it cleanses and regulates the liver and bowels, keeps tliem active, and free from bilious or rouMi- pated conditions, and what is more Impoi- tant, it strengthens the kidneys so that they can properly perform their great work of ex tracting impurities in the blood. The occasional use of Prickly Ash Bit ters. say half a wineglassful every night before going to bed. and due regard for sani tary regulations about the household, will preserve health, even though yellow fever becomes epidemic in its most deadly form.
