The regular secretion and flow of the gastric juices, and of the bile which the use of Hos tetter's Stomach Bitters promotes, are effects which conduce materially to the restoration of health, when the system is disordered. Food is not digested in the dyspeptic stomach because the gastric fluid is deficient, supera bundant or vitiated; the liver becomes con gested and the bowels constipated because the supply of bile is inadep.iate or misdirected. The Hitters rectifies all this, and removes every ill consequence of non-assimilation and bil ious irregularity. Furthermore, it stimulates the act ion of the kidneys, by which impuri ties ar. so to speak, strained from the blood, and any tendency in the urinary organs to trrow sluggish and disordered counteracted. Whether it be used as a means of regulating gastric or bilious secretion, and relieving tWe overloaded bowels, or to promote complete, and therefore healthful, urination Hosteller's Bitters may be relied upon with confidence to accomplish the end in view.

Doar Sir From early youth I was in feeble health, troubled with hnmor in my blood, weakness and debility of the system gener ally ; was unable to labor much, and only at some light, business, and then only with great caution. Seven years ago, the past spring, I had a severe attack of liiptheria which left my limbs paralyzed and useless, so I was un able to wal k or even sit up. Noticing the ad vertisement of I'kruvian Syrup, I concluded to give it a trial, and to my great joy soon found my health improving. I continued the us" of the syrup until three bottles hud been used, and was restored to complete health, and have remained so to thisday.
