-IT 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 OBJ
vious. We take too little exercise, aud
forget the wants of thebody 10 the absorb
Ing pursuits of business. In all such
cases, ordinary medicines can do little
good. What is required Is just such Il
tonic and invigor4tor as DR.. j. Hostetter
has given To the world, in his CELEBRATED
"BITTERs." The weak and nervous deni-
zen of the counting house, the exhausted
tniler upon the shop board, and the pros
trated student OF the midnight lamp, have
foInd a wonderful regeuerntor in the
"Bitters," and prefer it TO more pretentious,
but less effiCaCious medicines. But it
should not be forgotten that the agent
which is so magical in its influence upon
n frame which is merely debilitated, is
equally powerful in assisting nature to ex-
pei the most terrible forms of disease.
