SPECIAL NOTICES.
HALF ALIVE,

1T Is sad thing to pass through life only half
alive. Yet there are thousands whose hsbitusl
condition is one of languor and debility. They
complain of no specific disease; they suffer no
positive pain, but they have no relish for any.
Thing which affords mental or sonsuous pleas
ure to their more robust and energetic fellow
beings.
In line cases out Of ton this state Of la sLude
and torpor Arises from morbid stomach. In
digestion destroys the enargy Of both mind and
BODY. When the waste Of nature is not supplied
by u due and regular assimilation of the food,
every organ is starved, every function inter-
rupted.
, Now what docs common sense suggest under
these circumstances OF depression The system
needs romsing and strengthening; not merely
lor an hour or two, TO sink sfterWard into u
more pltaba condition than ever, (ss it assur-
ed!y would do il an ordinary alcoholic siimu
liant were escorted 10 } bat rAdicsly and por-
msnently.
How this desirable object to be accomplished?
Tho answer to this question, founded on the un-
varying experience of y quarter OF II century, is
easily given. lLfuse new visor into the di8es-
ave organs by a course OF Hostettsr's Stomach
Bltters. DO not waste lime in administering
temporary remedies, but acakcthe system up by
recupersting, the fountain head OF physical
strength and energy, the great organ upon
which al tho other organs depend for their pur.
ture and support.
By tho time that 8 dozen doses of tho great
vegetable tonic and inyigorant have been tn ken,
the leeblo frame of the dyspeptic will begin to
feel ITS benign influence. Appetite will be
created, and with appetite the capacity TO d.
gest what it Graves. Persevero until tho cure
Is complete-until hoslthful blood, fit to be the
material Of flesh and muscle, bono and nerve
and brain, flows through the channels of circu-
which they lsve heretofore been imperfectly
