A VOrnid System.

Sometimes, without any assignable cause, the
physical strength and animal spirits give way,
and strange torpor falls alike on the body and
intellect There is little or no pain, perhaps but
the natural vigor and elasticity of the nervous
and muscular system seems to have departed,
and an indifference to the pleasures of life and
even Of its grave responsibilities, takes the place
of that earnest interest in both which character
ICES every well balanced mind when in healthy
condition.
This state Of partial collapse is often the pre-
monitory symptoms of some serious malady 1t
indicates Enthusiastically that the vital powers are
languishing and need a stimulant In such cases
the effect of few doses of Hostetters Stomach
Bitters is wonderfully beneficial. The great ton
ic wakes up the system from its browse. The Sc
cretions and the circulation receive new inpe-
tus. The relaxed nerves recover their elasticity
under the operations of the specific, like the
slackened strength of q musical instrument in the
process of tuning. Lethargy and debility are
replaced by energy and vigor. the spirits rise,
and life, that almost seemed a burden while the
season of depression lasted, becomes once more
enjoyable. That such a radical change should
be produced by remedy entirely devoid OF the
powerful alkalOids and minerals so extensively
used in modern practice, may seem incredible to
those who pin their faith on the medicinal effca-
cy of active poisons but If these skeptics will
take the trouble to epquire Of those who have
tested the corrective and Alternative virtues of the
-Btters under the circumstances described they
will find the statement to be true. oc4-1m

GREAT BENEFIT TO THE Con.

IN STITUTION.- At this particular season.
when the weather is as changeable as the wind
when the most robust costitutions are attacked
and undermined when feeble systems are
shattered and unnerved it is absolutely necessa-
ry that scientific principles should be brought to
the aid of Nature in order to avert the contrac-
ton of those diseases that usually become seated
and fixed from the continuous changes referred
to. OF all the discoveries yet made, none seem
to answer the purpose so we'll as BAKERS BIT
TEkS, for while other remedies have been tried
and failed, this medicine has proved to be the
only panaeea for Dyspepsia, Nervousness, Gen
eral Debility, Collie, Sour Stomachs, Colds, and
Consumption in its incipient stages. Prepared
solely of vegetable extracts and so admirably
compounded as to act at once upon the Liver,
Digestive organs, Blood, and Mind, it drives out
Impurities, increases the Appetite, improves the
Digestion. strengthens the Lungs, and so tones
up the inner man as to render it impervious to
ordinary colds AS family medicine, it has no
