If general debility is not o disease, it is some
thing worse, viz: condition which predisposes
the body to succumb to all influences that pro,
duce disease. We are continually surrounded
and beset more or less, by injecting elements.
Neither the purest air or the purest water Is
perfectly pure. And in regions where both are
absolutely poisonous, how shall the weakly con-
stitution and frail system resist their deadly
effects unless fortified by artificial means2 If
the Btters are the reinforcing, vltalzlng,

is overwhelming and incontr0vertible-the 1t

prevailing, or in prospect, the best safeguards
are perfect digestion, firm nerves, and wise
employment of the means which science has
placed at the disposal of the public as antidotes
against atmospheric Infection. Among the
latter, Hostetter's Bitters deservedly. enjoy
the highest reputation throughout the western
world.

Bowel COMPLAINTS, CoLIC DIARRHEA,

by what Paracelsus calls atrocious pain. The
torture extends over the whole abdomen, ana
a strong man writhes under 1T as If upon the
rack. The BITTERs are useful to reileye the
paroxysms, but it is as sure means OF pre-
venting recurrence of the attack that they
are particularly recommended. Tone the liver
and the bowels with this gentle stimulant and
corrective, and you VIII never be troubled Win
the agonizing and dangerous complaint known
as Bilious Collie.
CHRONIC DIARRHEA.-There is scarcely any
difference of opinion among regular physicians
as regards the treatment OF chronic diarrhea.
Most of them have heretofore recommended
tablespoonful or teaspOonful of brandy to be
given several times day: they, one ana all,
admit that astriDgents aud tonics are required.
This being admitted, the main thing is to give
the best tonic and astringent that can be pro-
cured and THAT has been proved by expert
ence, and under the best chemical tests, to be

often passes through the bowels nearly III the
condition in which 1t was swallowed, thus
showing that the gastric juice Is either not
generated in sufficient quantity, or that 1t has
not the solvent properties necessary to decom-

The THREE MOsT IMPORTANT PERIODS OF
LIFE-Physcians divide life into five distinct
periods-thc first extending from birth to the
age of seven years, the second from the seventh
TO the fourteenth year. the third from the four
teenth to the twenty-tirst year, the fourth from
the twenty first to the fortieth year, the fifth
from the fortieth year To the close of life's
"strange, eventful history" Shakespeare di-
vides life into seven ages but i've Is the
number adopted by the faculty.
In what is called the third period" the i'm
portant changes occur which mark and separate
the sexes. This is the stage of Development, when
the frame in acquiring form, proportion, and
strength. makes extraordinary demands upon the
vital and constitutional resources. The weaker
sex suffers most during this period. The vital
ity of woman, being taxed to greater degree
than that of man, often requires to DO reen-
forced by artificial means. Whenever this is
necessary, Hostetter's Bitters may be cOnscien-
tiously recommended as the most harmless and
effective of all tones
Tho fourth period. embracing the maturity
Of life, when the powers of body and mind in
both sexes ought to be in full vigor also has
its special difficulties. II is during this stage
that the female is subject to most of the har-
