nature begins to succumb to the canker OF de-I
cay. AS stomachic, it is altogether the besG
known. Its depurative tendency Is particularly
evident in bilious eases, in which it seems To
purge the blood of superfuous bile, and ref

Appel IZING PROPERTIES OF THE
BITTERS.
A medicine that cxcites appetite without pro-
Pmoting digestion is always injurious. Its elect
is to impose a task on the stomach whieh IL ia
unable to perform, and the result is chionin

ents, the liver and the bowels. The operation

is very different from this The preparation
develops appetite, and inyig0rates and ener-
| gizes the digestive powers at the same time.
! Hence when indifference to the enjOyments OK

| bined with gastric weakness, or any other form
of dyspepsia, this far-reaching restorative re-
moves the entire diiilculty. 1t Is not tonic
that does its work by halves.

wonderfully adapted to the relief of the diff
cuties to which they are subjected. The
preparation in cases of this kind has double
operation. Ii not only controls the local nregy
ularities which occasion the distress, but, acting
simultaneously upon the whole nervous system,
checks the tendency to hysteria and despOn-
dency which almost always accompanies such
disturbances.
Sickly wives and mothers are advised to give
! the medicine trial. They are earnestly assnred
that it contains no ingredient that can possibly
do any harm TO the feeblest of their number.
! while it undoubtedly contains the invigoratlng
| principle which their eneryated system requires,
Let them beware of the cordial drops ana
tinctures often prescribed for invalid ladies:
| All these medicaments are mainly composed of
common alcohol, and are therefore injurious.
| The liquors ordinarily given as tonics are sub
worse, being all deteriorated with poisonous
drugs
