SWHFfc BY A CYCLONE Of approbation to the pinnicle of popu larity, Hontetter's Btorrtaoh Bitters has acquired a commanding position, which has occasionally made a bright and shining mark for knaves, who seek to foist upon the community spurious compounds in the guise akin to that of the real article. These are mostly lo cal bitters or tonics of great Impurity, and, of course, devoid of medicinal efficacy. Beware of them and get the genuine Bitters, a real remedy for ma laria, rheumatism, kidney trouble, dys pepsia, nervousness, constipation and biliousness. Physicians of eminence everywhere commend the great Invlg orant, for both Its remedial properties and its purity. A wlneglassful thrice a day will soon bring vigor and regular ity to a disordered and enfeebled sys tem. Congressman Thomas B.
