The American people are emphatically " fast
l1vers." The constant wear and tear of brain and
muscle brings on manv ailments, including dis
Ious headache, loss of appetite, stupor. hypochon-
dria, and general debility of the whole system.
All persons thus afflicted need some gentle stimu-
liant, which comprises medical properties and the
virtues OF the best tonic. Such an article can be
found in ALIENS CONGRESS BITTERs. They are
not cheap Whiskey, but scientific combina-
ton of some sixteen kinds of Roots and Banks
all of which are acknowledged by the Medical
Faculty to contain curative and tonic properties
One important ingredient is the Prickly Ash
Berry. celebrated throughout Europe pre-
ventive Of Asiatic cholera, and of all summer
complaints and diseases. All persons should have
some reliable family medicine on hand, not only
as cure but as preventive, and all who believe
that pure curative stimulant is preferable to the
many poisonous compounds usually called "Bour-
