Let Common Sense Decide.
What is the rational mode of procedure in ca
ses OF general debility and nervous prostration?
Does not reason tell us that judcious stimulation
is required. To resort to violent purgation in
such case is as absurd as it would be to bleed a
starving man. Yet it is done every day. Yes,
this stupid and unphilosophical practice is con-
tinued in the teeth of the great fact that physi
cal weakness, with all the nervous disturbances
that accompany it, is more certainly and rapidly
relieved by Hostetters Stomach Bitters than by
any other medicine at present known. tits true
that general debility is often attended with tor
pdity irreguarity of the bowels, and that this
symptom must not be overlooked. But while
the discharge of the waste matter of the system
is expedited or regulated, its vigor mast be re-
cruited. The Bitters do both. They combine
aperient and anti-bilious properties, with extra
ordinary tonic power. Even while removing
distractions from the bowels, they tone and in
vigorate those organs. Through the stomach, |
upon which the great vegetable specific acts di-

tated, the taltering circulation regulated, the |
blood reinforced with new accession of the ali |
mentary principle, the nerves braced, and all |
the dormant powers of the system reused into
healthy action; not spasmodically, as would be |
the case if a mere stimulant were administered, |
but for continuance. 1t is in this way that such |
extraordinary changes are wrought in the condi-
ton of the feeble, emaciated and nervous inva- |
lids by the use of this wonderful corrective, al
terative and tonic. Let common sense decide |
between such preparation and prostrating ca
thartic supplemented by a poisonous astringent |
like strychnine or quinia |
