A Word TO CoNvALEscESTs.- Espe-
cial care should be given to the diet, take
light food and but little at time. Great
care should be taken not to take any
thing indigestable into the stomach
Many persons when recovering from
fevers have craving appetites and not
unfrequently, through the over attentions
of the nurse, mix together in the stomach
the most homogeneous articles of food (;
others, again, recovering from disease,
have no appetite at all, and need some
gentle tonic and stimulant to assist the
internal organs of the body to perform
their regular functions. To such we
say, procure Robacks Stomach Bitters,
commence with small quantity in sugar
and water, and as the strength returns,
increase the dose, and continue them
until all symptoms Of debility have dis
appeared. mlO-lw
