Irritable InValids,

Indigestion not only affects the physica
health but the dispositions and tempers of
its victims. The dyspeptic becomes, too, in
a measure demoraliZed by his sutferings. He
is subject TO its of irritation, sullenness, or
despair, as the case may be. A preternatural
sensitiveness which he cannot control, leads
him to misconstrue the words and acts
of those around him, and his intercourse
even with those nearest and dearest to him
is not unfrequenty marked by ex-
hibitions of testiness foreign TO his real ma
ture. These arc the mental phenomena of
the disease, for which the invalid cannot be
Justly held responsible, but they occasion
much household discomfort. Ii is to the
interest of TIE hom3 circle, it is essential
TO family harmony as well az to the rescue
of the principal sufferer from a state not
far removed from incipient insanity, that
these symptoms of mental distur bance be
promptly removed. This can only be done
by removing their physical cause u derange-
ment of the functions of the stomach and
its allied viscera, the liver and the bowels
Upon these three important organs Hos

genial restorative for single week without
experiencing notable improvement in his
general health. Not only will his bodily suf-
ferings abate from day to day. but his mind

The Most Powerful Vegetable Alternative
YET DISCOVERED,
DISEASES OFTHE BLOOD,

4
1.-The life of the flesh is the Blood" is a
Scriptural maxim that science proves to be
true. The people talk of bad blood, as the
cause Of many diseases, and like many pop
ular opinions this of bad blood is founded
in truth.
The symptoms of bad blood are usually
quite p ain-had Digestion-causes imper-
feet nutrition, and consequently the cIrou-
lation is feeble, the soft tissues loose
their tone and elasticity, and the tongue
becomes, pale broad, and frequently COW
cred with pasty, white coat. This condi-
ton soon shows itself in rOughneSS of the
skin, then in ERUPTIvE and LUCRATIVE dis
eases, and when long continued, reslts in
serious LESSONS of the Brain, Liver, Lungs, or
urinary apparatus. Much, very much,
suffering is caused by impure blood, 1t is
estimated by some that one-fifth of the hu-
man family are affected with scrofula in
some form.
When the Blood is pure, you are not so
liable to any disease. Many impurities of
the Blood arise from impure diseases of
large cities. Eradicate every impurity from
the fountain of life, and good spirits, fair
skin and vital strength will return toyou.

Meets with GREAT SUCCESS in the
CURE of
Diseases Of the Nervous System.

Almost nine-tenths of our people suffer
from nervous exhaustion, ard are. therefore,
liable to its concomitant evils of mental
depression, confused ideas, softening OF the
brain, insanity and complete breaking down
Of the general health. Thousands are suffer
ing to-day with broken-down nervous sys-
tens, and, unfortunately, tobacco. alcohol,
late hours, over-work, (mental and physical)
are causing diseases of the nervous system
to increase at fearful ratio.
The symptoms to which diseases OF the
nervous system give rise, may be stated as
follows: A dull heavy feeling in the head,
sometimes more or less severe pain or head
ache Periodical Headache, Dizziness, Nois-
es or ringing in the Head: Confusion of Ideas;
Temporary Loss of Memory Detection of
Spirits; Starting during Sleep Bad Dreams;
Hesitation in Answering Questions; Dull
ness in hearing Twitching of the Face and
Arms, &C., which, if not promptly treated,
lead to Paralysis, Delirium, Insanity, I'm

KOSKOO!

Is remedy of Wonderful Efficacy in
the cure of diseases of the Kidneys and
Bladder. In these affections IL Is as
near specific as any remedy can be. 1t
does its work kindly, silently, and surely.
The Relief which i. affords is both certain
and peTcepti6le.
DISEASES OF THE KIDNEYS AND
BLADDER.
Persons unacquainted with the structure
and functions Of the Kidneys cannot esti-
mate the Importance of their healthy ac-
ton.
Regular and sufficient action Of the Kid
neyS Isl as important, nay, even more SO,
than regularity of the bowels. The Kid
neys remove from the Blood those efete
matters whichif permitted to remain, would
speedily destroy life. a total suspension
OF the urinary discharges will occasion death
from thirty-six to forty light hours.
When the Urine is voided in small guam
titles at the time, or when there is DISPOSE
ton to Urinate more frequently than natu-
raj, or when the Urine Is high colored or
scalding with weakness in the small of the
back, it should not be trifed with or de-
layed, but Koskoo should be taken at once
to remedy the difficulty, before lesion OF
the organs take place. Most of the diseases
of the Bladder originate from those of the
Kidneys, the Urine being imperfeotly Sc
creted in the Kidneys, prove irritating tc
the Bladder and Urinary passages. When
we recoIlect that medicine never reaches
the Kidneys except through the general cir
culation of the Blood, we see how necessa-
~ it is to keep the Fountain of Life Pure.
