TORPID SYSTEM.

Sometimes, without any assignable cause, the
physical strength and animal spirits give way. and
a strange torpor falls alike the body and intel
iect There is little or no pain, perhaps, but the
natural visOr and elasticity of the and mus
cular system seems to have departed, and an
indifference to the pleasures of life, and of its
grave responsibilities, takes the place Of that earnest
interest ~ both which characterizes every we'll
balanced mind when in healthy condition. This
state OF partial collapse is often the premonitory
symptoms Of some serious malady. 1t indicates
Inmistakably that the vital powers are languish
ing and need stimulant In such cases the effect
Of a few doses Of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is
wonderfully beneficial. The great tonic wakes
mp the system from its browse. The secre.ions
and the circulation receive a new impetus.
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 Nigor, the spirits rise, and life that al
most seemed burden while the season of depression
lasted becomes once more enjoyable. That such
radical change should be produced by a remedy en-
tiIely devoid Of the powerful akalo:ds and minerals
50 extensively used in modern practice, may seem
incredible TO those who pin their faith on the medic
nal efficacy Of active poisons, but If these skeptics
will take the trouble TO enquire Of those who have
tested the corrective and Alternative virtues of the
Bifters under the circumstances described they will
find the statement to be true. fe I4eost&w
