Lot Common Sense Dscids.-What is the
rational mode Of procedure In cases Of general
debility and nervous prostitution? Does not
renson tell us that judicious stimulation is re-
quired To resort 10 violent purgation 10 such
q case Is as absurd as II would be to bleed n
starving man. Yetit Is done every day. Yes.
this stupid and unphiosos hicaI practice is con-
tinued In tho te eth Of the greet fact that phys
ical weakness. with all the nervous disturb
ances that accompany II, Is moro certainly and
rapidly relieved by HoItetter's Stomach Bitters
than by auy other medicine at present known.
II Is true that general debility II often attended
with torpidity or irregularity Of the bowels. and
that this symptom must not DO overlooked.
But while the discharge Of the waste matter of
the system is expedited or regulated, its vigor
must be recruited. The Bitters do both. They
combine aperient and anti-bilious properties.
with extraordinary tonic power. Even while
renewing ob,truction, from the bowels. they
tone and invigorate those organs. Throush
the stomach, upon which the sreat vegetable
sptcific acts directly. II gives healthy and
permanent impetus to every enfeob'ed function.
Digestion is facilitated. the faltering circulation
regulated. the blood reinforced with new 40
cession Of the alimentary principle. the nerves
braced. and all the dormant powers of the sys-
tenn reused into healthy action; not spasmod-
ically. as would be the case II q mere siimulant
were administered, but for a continuance. 1t
is n this way that such extraordinary changes
are wrought Ia the condition of the feeble.
smaeiated and nervous invalids by the use of
this wonderful corrective. Alternative and tonic.
Let common sense decide between such a
preparation and a Frustrating cathartic supple
mented by poisonous astringent like strych-
nine or quinia
