For no atlment—probubly—are there so many alleged remedies as for dyspepsin. The man of humbugis constantly glutted with the dollars and dimes of those who resort to one nostrum after another in the vain hope of obtuming relief, at least, from tnis vexatious and obstinate malady. Experience indicates Hostet- ter's Stomach Bitters as a means of eradicating dyspepsia, n_which a firm reliance can be placed. No remedy has n three decad and over established such a reputation, none has received such unqualified professional sanction. It is an admiravle invigorant, because it en- riches the blood, and not only this, but it thoroughly regulates thebowels, kidneys and biuhh-r. The nervous symptoms are usually relieved by the medicine. ————— REAL TATE.
