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, SO that dyspepsia and despon-
dency are inseparable, 1t may be added too,
that Irritation Of the stomach is almost invaria-
bly, acco npanied by irritation of the temper
The inyigoratiag and tranquillizing operation
of Hostetter's Bitters is most powerfully devel-
oped in cases of Indigestion. The first effect of
this agreeable tonic is confronting and encourage
ing. mild glow pervades the system, the
chronic uneasiness in the region Of the stomach
is lessened, and the nervous restlessness which
chara cterizes the disease is abated This i'm
provement is not transient. 1t is not succeeded
by the return of the old symptoms with superad-
ded force, as is always the case when unmedica-
ted stimulants are given for the complaint Each
dose seems to impart a permanent accession of
healthful IMMIGRATION. But this is not all. The
aperiant and anti bilious properties of the prep
aration are scarcely secondary in Importance to
its tonic virtues. If there is an overflow of bile
the secretion is soon brought within proper linn
its, and if the bileary organ is innert and torpid
it is toned and regulated The effect upon the
discharging organs is equally salu'ary, and in
cases of constipation the cathartic action is lust
sufficient to produce the desired result gradually
and without pain. The Bitters also promote
healthy evaporation from the surface which is
particularly desirable at this season when sud-
den spells Of raw, unpleasant weather are apt to
check the natural Precipitation and produce con-
gestion Of the liver coughs, and colds. The best
safeguard against all diseases is bodily vigor, and
this the great Vegetable Restorative essentially
promotes.
