aF THE TRUE MEDICAL DOCTRINE.
Nature, when struggling with disease, indicate
unmstakably the kind Of assistance she requires
In cases cf nervous weakness and general debiGtr,
the feeble pulse the lacklustre eye the atenuated
frame, the iacid muscles the melancholy visage,
inform us as plainly as if each organ had Io7Sue,
that medcated stmulant is needed. 1t does not
require the aid of medical education 10 understand
this dumb appeal for new yiGor, from an exhausted
system. Every reader of these lines can compre-
hend it just as we'll the graduate a physicians
college. Let not this demand OF enfeeb!ed nature
be neglected. Respond to it promptly by COM
mencipg course oil HOSTEITER's STOMACH
BITTLRS, preparation uniting IN their highest
excellence the properties OF srIMULANT, an IN
v1ooRAsr. and an ALTERATIvE. Before three days
have elapsed, from the tahrg of the first dose, q
marked beneficial change will be manifest in the
bodily and mental condition OF the patient. 1he
pulse will bs stronger and more regular, the eye
will begin to lose its dull expression the muscular
and nervous systems to recover their tension, and
The spirits to improve. Perseverc, and complete
reviv fcation of the depressed animal and mental
powers is certain. In cases of dyspepsia and bill.
ousncss, the same salutary results will be obtained,
The appetite will revive the salowness Of the skin
disappear, and all the distressing symptoms which
accompany disorders of the stomach and liver
will rapidly subside. The cold of winter often in
tensiies these complaints by checking the perspira
tory action, by which so much morbid matter is
evaporated through the pores in milder weather,
and therefore the BITTERs are especially useful to
the dyspepuc and bilious at this season.
