At this season of the year, the general
health of the country is very good, with some
exceptions, such as constitutional Bilious
Temperaments, some victims of Dyspepsia or

the use of gentle stimulus or tonic, such as

the system and strengthening the nerves, eau
sing the digestive organs TO perform their

commend them. The Morning Star Bitters
