DISORDERS OF THE BOWELS.

which is as important as its sustentaton, mus.
be imperfectly done. The intestnes are the
waste pipes of the animal structure; and you
might as well expect city to be healthy with
its sewers clogged up or III ruins, as hope for
strength and vigor in the human physique
when its main discharging organs are in an
unnatural condition.
Constipation, bilious colo, cholera morbus,
dysentery, inflammation of the bowels. and, in
deed all intestinal diseases, however different
in their types and symptoms, have their phi
mary source in want of tone in the men,
brane which lines the alimentary and excretoy
passages The irritation which produces fux,
is lust as much the result of weakness as the
torpor which causes costiveness. Dlarhea ia
the direct consequence of a loss OF retentiYe
power, and constipation of loss of expulsiya
power and the effect Of violent purgatives in
either contingency is TO lower instead of re-
newing the tone of the already weakened or
gans.
Hostetter's Bitters has been administered
with marked success in constipation, and fol
this reason it is, so to speak, an APERIESI
Tonic; in other words, it gently dislodges and
removes the fetal distractions, and at the
same time imparts a healthy stimulus to the
mucous integuments which line the dscharg.
ing channel This double action soon restored
regularity; and it may safely be asserted that
chronic costveness can be cured by a course oi
this preparation when all the usual prescrp.
tions have been tried in vain. In diarrhra,
collie and all choleraic maladies, unless ths
nGammatOry symptoms are too violent to
render the use of any tonic advisable, it viii
be found exceedingly useful in sustaining thd
strength of the patient and alleviating pain.
As a remedy for chronic bowel complaints Of
every type, it is recommended In many earnest
testimonials, which have been Published at
various times in the public journals
Let it. however, be always borne in mind by
those who are predisposed to constipation, collcI
cholera-morbus, dianhea, dysentery, or othei
diseases of the abdominal viscera, that they
NAV easily protect their systems from those
painful and dangerous ills, by avang them
selves of the preventive operation ofthe Blttels'
Keep the stomach and bowels in vigorous
condition with this peerless vegetable tonic and
Alternative. and the functions of assimilation and
excretion will be sure to go on healthfully and
regularly.
| GENERAL DEBHITY-A FEW CONsOLTYd
| WORDS TO THE WEEK AND FEEBLE.-Mere
lack of bodily strength is not in itself dis.
ease, but simply disability. 1t is sometimes
natural defect, sometimes the result of Sec
ondary causes. In either case. Hostetteris
| Stomach Bitters may be safely guaranteed to
cure it. Every day, and in every locality,
| nvalds may be met with who complain Of
| nothing but weakness. They have no pain,
but they are incapable of much exertion A
short walk fatigues them; a long one breaks
them down.
This sort of disease is one of the character
stlcs of dyspepsia and biliousness; but it is
no less true that it frequently exists independ-
emily OF any specific disorder, and when all
| internal organs appear to be performing their
functions with tolerable regularity. 1t is really
! painful to see human beings moving along
with slow, unsteady steps, and evidently al
most destitute of muscular power and nervoua
energy, who might just as well be treadmg
the earth firmly and fulfilling their daily
duties without suffering from exhaustion.
Are they aware that there is medicated
stimulent which would put new life into
| them9 Have they ever seen the effect Of
Hostetter's Bitters~ upon the weak and
enervated2 1t seems incredible that with this
powerful vegetable invigorant everywhere ac-
ceSsible, sufferers from mere debility should
complain that they can obtain no relief
Whoever says so cannot hare tried this COM
manding tonic. Quinine may have failed, COM
mon tinctures may have failed, all the ordinary
stimulants may have failed, but this, let tha
feeble be assured iciH not fail.
INyIGORATIoN FOR THE INFIRM.-When age
| begins to tell upon the frame, it is natural to
wish for some elixir which will alleviate its in
| frmites and retard the progress of decay
| Physicians recommend stimulants to comfort
cheer and refresh the aged. What shall they
have recourse to2 Certainly not 10 the EN-.
poisoned liquors of commerce. That would ba
to shorten, not to prolong the period of theif
