friends, and all the epjoyments of life
seem infinitely more dear to the sufferer
from nervous debility when the probabili-
ty is that, ere long, he must leave them
forever. When the health has become i'm
paired, and the strength is failing, then
life looks more alluring. Stimulants are
the only means OF restoration in cases of
nervous debility. The great difficulty has
been to provide stimulant possessing not
only medicinal merit, but one affording
permanent relief. If HOSTETTER'S
STOMACH BITTERS is resorted to in such
cases, its beneficial effects will soon be-
come apparent in the buoyancy of spirits
and renewed strength of the hitherto de-
jected patient. Experience has proved
this preparation to be 'the remedy Of the
age" for nervous debility, as well as all
diseases arising from arrangement of the
stomach and liver.
Persons advanced in life, and feeling the
hand of time weighing heavily upon them,
With all it's attendant ills, will find, in the
use OF HOSTETTERS CELEBRATED
STOMACH BITTERS, an elixir that will
instil new life into their veins; restore, in
measure, the ardor and energy OF more
youthful days; build up their shrunken
forms and give health and vigor to their
remaining years. Those who are in the
least afflicted with Dyspepsia, Ague, Lam
guor. Nausea, or any other troublesome
and dangerous disease, arising from a dis
ordered system, should not hesitate to
avail themselves Of the benefit derived
from this great remedy.
The immense quantities of this invalu-
able tonic that are consumed, and which
is steadily increasing, year by year, is suf-
ticlent, in itself, to disarm the most skep-
tlcal. Aug 10 t6
