(tARPF.TS and Carpet Chain, for sale cheap, at J Shoemakers', [april Gth, 1860.} HPSTETTER'S STOMACH JOTTERS, IT is n fact I lint, at twae period, every mem -Ix-r of tbe human family is subject to disease or disturbance of the bodily functions; but, ■with tlie aiu of a good tonic and the exercise of plain common sense, they may be able so to regulate the system as to secure permanent health. In order to accomplish this desired object, the true course to pursue is certainly that which will produce a natural state of tilings at the leas! hazard of vital strength and life. For this purpose, Dr. Hosteller has in troduced to this cimntry a preparation bearing bis name, which is not a new medicine, but one that has been tried for years, giving satisfac tion to all who haw used it. The Hitters operate powerfully upon the stomach, bowels, and liver, restoring them to a healthy and Vigorous action, and thus, by the simple pro cess of strengthening nature, enable the sys tem to triumph over disease. For the cure of Dyspepsia, Indigestion, Nau sea, Flatulency, Loss of Appetite, or any Bilious Complaints, arising from a morbid Inaction of the Stomach or Bowels, producing Cramps, Dysentery, Colic, Cholera Morbus, &c., these Bitters have no equal. Diarrhoea, dysentery or flux, so generally con tracted by new 6Cttlers, and caused principally by the change of water and diet, will be speedily regulated by a brief use of this preparation. Dyspapsia, a disease which is probably more prevalent, In all its various forms, than any other, and the cause of which may always lie attributed to derangements of the digestive organs, can lie cured Without fail by using liOSTETTER'.S STOMACH HITTERS, as per directions on the bottle. For this disease every physician will recommend Bitter? of some hind; then why not use an article known to be infal lible? All nations have their Bitters, as a pre ventive of disease and strengthcher of the sys tem in general; and among therh all there is not to lc found a more healthy people than the Hermans, from whom this preparation ema nated. based upon scientific experiments which have tended to prove the value of this great preparation in the scale of medical science. FEVER AHD AGUE. — This trying and provok ing disease, which fixes its relentless grasp on the body of man, reducing him to a mere sha dow in a short time, and rendering him phy sically and mentally useless, can be driven from the body by the use of HuSTETTEK'S RENOWNED BITTERS. Further, noneol the above-stated diseases can be contracted, even in exposed situations, if the Bitters are used us per directions. And as they neither create nausea nor offend the palate, and render un necessary any change of diet or interruption of ordinary pursuits, but promote sound sleep awl healthy digestion, the complaint is re moved as speedily as is consistent with the pro duction of a thorough and permanent cure. For Persons in Advanced Years, who are suffering from an enfeebled constitution and infirm ho ly, these Bitters are Invaluable as a restorative of strength and vigor, and need only be tried to be appreciated. And to a mother while nursing these Bitters arc indis pensable. especially where the mother's nour ishment. is inadequate to the demands of the child, consequently her strength must yield, and here it is where a good tonic, such as Ilostetter's Stomach Bitters, is needed to impart temporary strength and vigor to the system. Ladies should by all means try this remedy for all cases of debility, and, before so doing, should ask their physician, who, if lie is acquainted with the virtue of the Bitters, will recommend their use in all cases of weakness. CAUTION.—We caution the public against using any of the many imitations or counterfeits, but ask for IIOSTETTEH'S CELEBRATED STOMACH BITTERS, and see that each bottle has the words " Dr. J. Ilostetter's Stomach Bitters" blown on the side of the bottle, and stamped on the metallic cap covering the cork, and observe that our autograph signature is on the label.

Persons suffering from these direful complaints lose not a moment in arresting Iheir progress. 1: should be understood that it is not sufficient meres fy to smear the Ointment on the affected parts, but it must be well rubbed in for some considerable time two or three tunes a day, that it may be ta ken into the system, whence it will remove any hidden sore or wound as effectually as though pal pable to the eye. There {again bread and" water poultices, aftei the rubbing in of the Ointment, will do service.

It will re quire time with the use of the Pills to ensure a las ting cure. Dropsical Swellings, Paralysis and Stiff Joints. Although the above complaints difler widely in their origin and nature, yet tbey all require local treatment. Many of the worst cases, of such dis eases, will yield in Comparatively short space df time, when this Ointment is diligently rubbed ih?o the parts atfected, even after every other mear*s have failed.
