1T is A COMMON OBSERVATION that
there are more sufferers from debility, among
Americans, than can be found among any other
civilized nation. The reason is obvious. We
take too little exercise, and forget the wants of
the body in the absorbing pursuits of business.
In all such cases, ordinary medicines can do
little good. What is required is Just such o
tonic and invigorator as DR.. ]. HOstetter has
given to the world, in his CELEBRATED BIT

pretentious but less eiiicacous medicines. But
it should not be forgotten that the agent which
