Want Of Vitality.

sonnet mes there is a lack of vitality in
large and apparently well developed frames.
Uerculean SinewS and muscles are not al
WAYS indicative of stamina and constitu-
tional vigor i'm their poSSeSSOr. Health de-
pends more upon the condition OF the
stomach, the liver and the bowels, than
upon the breadth of the shoulders or the
size of loose levers and pullcyS of the sys-
TEN in which strength IS supposed to reside.
All this grand animal machinery Is Of itself
no protective against sickness and decay.
Easy and perfect digestion, regular and
healthy secretions uncOntaminated blood,
and n regular discharge OF the waste matter
of the body through the inteStines, the kid
neyS and the pores, are the most potent
safeguards against disease, the best guaran-
tees Of longevity. To promote these objects Is
the great end and purpose Of HoStetter's s Stom-
ach Btters. The ingredients OF which the
Great Tonic and Alternative is composed are
taken solely from the vegetable kingdom
and their medicinal virtues are not coun-
terbalanced by the acid and poisonous ele-
ments which exist, more or less, in all the
powerful mineral drugs. Sufferers from
indigestion, biliouSncSs, intermittent fevers,
nervous debility or constipation, not only
find immediate relief from the use Of this
agreeable stimulant and invigorant but
become conscious, rs time wears on, of an
increase of constitutional elasticity and
vital force. Labor and exposure no longer
produce the same effect upon them as here
tofore, and they feel aS ii they had acquired
"a new hold on life, new reserve OF physl-
cal and mental energy. This has been the
experience of thousands Of both sexes, and
every day adds 10 the mass Of confirmatory
testimony. At this season ofthe year when
the temperature and state Of the atmosphere
exercise a peculiarly depressing influence
over the minds and bodies Of invalids, Hos
letters BitterS Is the only tonic upon which
the debilitated can rely for swift and per
Inunant restoration.
