Established facts are silent arguments which neither pen nor torgue can shake, and it is upon established fads that the reputation ol Hostetler's Stomach Bitters, as a health-pre serving elixir, and a wholesome and power ful remedy, is based. When witness, g come forward in crowds, year alter year, and rei terate the same statements in relation to the beneficial effects of a medicine upon them selves, disbelief in its efficacy is literally im possible. The credentials of this unequalled tonic and alterative, extending over a penod of nearly twenty years, inelude individuals of every class, and residents of every clime, and refer the most prevalent among the com plaints which afflict and harass the human famiiv. Either a multitude of people, stran gers to each other, have anuuallr been seized with an insane and motiveless desire to de ceive the public, or Hostctter’s Hitters for no less than a fifth of a century, have been af fording such relief to sufferers from mdijes tion, fever and ague, billiousncss, general de bility, and nervous disorders, as uo other pre paration has ever imparted.
