For the preservation or recovery of health and strength, the diet should be wholesome and nutiUiou'-. When it happensthat t! ill. mentary processes are disturbed by Improper or half masticated food, the best remedy for evel results of abusing the digestive organs is Ilostetter's Stomach Bitters, most agreeable, prompt and gentle remedy for dyspeosia.and for the bilious and evacuatlve irregularities which result from it. The liver and bowls, in common with the stomach, experience- its beneficent influences. The refuse of t he sys tem is carried orr through its natural outlet, a healthy flow and secretion ot the bile is pro motpd, and a powerful Impetus is given to assimilation in consequence of its use. It healthfully stimulates the bladder an kid neys when t hey are inactive, and by its toilc and regulating action fortifies the system against malaria. A Kemnrkable Cure.
