head Of DYspepsis may be classe oil the varis-
ties Of indigestion. Its symptoms are 90 va
that it 10 almost Impossible to classify them. In
fact, some Of them are utterly Undesirable. 1t
may be safely asserted. however. that half Of
the diseases Of mankind spring from disor
dered state of the stomach and that tho other
half, whatever their origin, react upon that sent
sative aud important organ. Among the ordin-
ary indications Of dyspepsis sSe aatulence, .
bloated and full feeling about the STONE and
abdomen Immediately siser eating, agnawiag
sensation. or a eallowuess at the pit Of the
stomach between meals. . heavy dull feeling
in the head. feeble OF unsteady appetite, occa
sional nausea, restlcssnsss during the night,
and weary, unrefreshed feeling on rising in
the morning, pslpitation Of the heart depre
sion Of mind. sometimes amounting to mono
mania, loss OF memory, confusion Of thought,
sour stomach, asth raising of food. and chock
pain in the diaphragm feebleness and disin /.
nstion for cxertion, and sometimes smaciatiou
aud a corpse-lik pallor. These are . few Of the
direct signs Of Dyspepsia, but as it is generally
complicated with specific affections Of the bow
els. the liver, and the nerves, its victims have
many additional torments, winch are technical
~ attributed to other causes.
The best advice that can be given to any one
who has the slightest prsdisposition to dispep-
STA is to fortify his or her digestive organs by
the daily use OF Hostetter's Bitters. The dis.
ease proceeds from a lack Of vigor in the
stomach, and this vitalizing preparation vii

apparatus is IN good working order. and can
perfectly dissolve and thoroughly assimilate the
food submitted TO its oper alton, there will be
no dyspepsia II it cannot do this it requires re-
agents should be forthwith resortsd TO. The
stomach is the coinmissary OF the system. l

slider the first indication Of uneasiness in the
stomach as . sign that dyspepsia is preparing
to attack, and battle it at once with this grea
repelant.
but il il is too late TO prevent, remember that
it is not to late to cure. II is believed that there
IS no case of chronic Indigestion that can with
stan the remedial operation of HosrErrER's
SrosAcH Brrrxns. This belief is grounded on
twelve years sxperienc e OF the efficacy Of the
preparation The first instance of its failure to
give relief is yet unchronicled. If it ever had
failed, the volunnous correspondence addressed
to the propristors from all parts OF the United
States aud South America W ould at least include
one letter expressing dissatisfaction. But no,
here is not one Tue testimony extending over
period of snors than . dozen years, is all ofths
same approving tenor. Certainly this is a sui
icient warrant for claiming that the BIrrERs are
q SPECIFIC for IxpIeEsrIoS in all its varieties.
Ladies in delicate health will find HosIErrBR's
SroxAca BrrrEas wonderfully adapted to the re-
ief of the difficulties to which they are subject
ed. The preparation in cases Of this kind has =

RE gularities which occasion the distress, but
aciing simultaneously upon the whole nervous
system, checks the tendency TO hysteria and des

disturbances. Ladies who are about to become
