A Body and Mind Disease.

Such is dyspepsia The stomach and the
brain are too intimately allied for the one to
suffer without the other, 10 that dyspepsia
and dependency are inseparables 1T may
be added, too, that irritation Of the stomach
is almost invariably accompanied by irrita-
ton Of the temper.
The invigorating and tranguilizing opera
ton Of Hostetter's Bitters is most powerfully
developed III eas-S u iaaiseetions The -6sst
effect Of this agreeable tonic is comforting
and encouraging. A mild glow pervades
the system, the chronic uneasiness 10 the re-
gion Dfthe stomach is lessened. and the. ner-
vous restIessness which characterises the
disease is abated This Improvement is not
transient. It is not succeeded by the return
of the old symptoms with superadded force, as
is always the case when unmedicated stimu-
.lants are given for the complaint. Each
dose seems to impart a permanent accession Of
healthful invigoratlon. But this is not all.
The spefient and anti-billious properties of
the PREPARATION are scarcely secondary in i'm
portance to its tonic virtues, If there is an
overflow of bile the secretion il soon brought
within proper limits, il the biitary organ is
inert and torpid Ill Is toned and regulated.
The effect upon the ;sdischarging organs is
equally salutary, and in cases of constipation
the cathartic action is just sufficient to pro-
duce the desired result gradually and without
pain. The Hitters also promote healthy evap-
GRAFTON from the surface which ID particularly

Symptoms Of a Diseased Liver.

3 Symptoms Of a Diseased Liver.
DAN in the right side, under the
L ede Of the ribs, increase on pres
sure; Smetimes the pain is in the
left sid; the patient is rarely able
to lie On the left side sometimes
the pain is felt under the shoulder
blade, md it frequently extends to
the topof the shoulder, and is INT
times mistaken for a rheumatism in
the arm. The stomach is affected
with los of appetite and sickness;
the bowels in general are c~ostive,
sometimes alternative with lax ; the
head is troubled with pain, accom-
panied with a dull, heavy sensation
in the pack part. There is generally
a considerable loss of memory, &C.
compared with a painful sensation
of having left undone something
which ought to have been done. A
slight, dry cough is sometimes an at
tendant. The patient complains Of
wearinsss and debility; he is easily
startled, his feet are cold or burning,
and he complains of a prickly sensa-
ton of the skin ; his spirits are low;
and although he is satisfied that exer-
else would be beneficial to him, yet
he can scarcely summon up fortitude
enough to try it. In fact, he dis
trusts every remedy. Several of the
above SYMPTOMS attend the disease,
= but cases have occurred where few
of them existed, yet examination of
the body, after death, has shown the
LIVER to have been extensively de-
ranged.
AGUE AND FEVER.
DR.. M'LAnE's Liver PILLS, IN
CASES OF AcuE AND Fever, when
taken with Quinine, are productive
Of the most happy results. No better
cathartic can be used, preparatory to,
or after taking Quinine. We would
advise all who are afflicted with this
disease to give them A FAIR TRIAL.

Bring thy guardian presence DER

Lonely on Life's troubled sea-.

Far from me all worldly things
