A TORPID SYSTEM.

Some times, without any assignable cause, the
physical strength and animal spirits give way,
and strange torpor falls alike on the body and
intellect. There is little orno pain perhaps, but
the natural vigor and elasticity of the nervous
and muscular system seems to have departed, and
an Indifference to the pleasures OF life, and even
to its grave responsibilities, takes the place OF
that earnest interest in both which characterizes
every well balanced mind when ia healthy con-
dition.
This state of a psltial collapse is often the
premonitory symptoms 81 some serious maady.
1t indicates unm stakably chat the vital powers
are languishing and need stimulant. In such
cases the effect of few doses of Hostettcr's
Stomach Bitters is wonderfully beneficial The
great tonic wakes up the system from its browse.
The secretions and the circulation receive new
impetus. The relaxed nerves recover their elias
ticty under the operations Of the specific like
slackened strength Of musical instrumental the
process of tuning. Lethargy and debility are
replaced by energy and vigor, the spirits rise,
and life that almost seemed a burden while the
season of depression lasted, becomes once more
enjoyable. That such radical change should
be produced by remedy entirely devoid of the
pow erful alkaloids and minerals so extensively
| used in modern practice, may seem incredible to
those who pin their faith on the medicinal efhca-
cy of active poisons, but if these skeptics will
take the trouble to enquire Of those who have
tested the corrective and Alternative virtues of the
Bitters under the circumstances described, they
will find the statement to be true.
