und Debility.

The relaxation of nervous energy Which creates
an indisposIton to physical or mental effort, 30
strong as almost to amount to positive inability, and
which we term lassitude, proceeds from variety OF
causes. The principal of these are constitutional
debility heat OF the atmosphere, coupled with hu-
mldlty, climatic changes, and the physical prostra
tion consequent upon long illness. But whatever
the cause 1t must be perfectly clear that II the ner-
vous system ia unduly relaxed, something is re-
qulred to brace It up. That something is Hostetters
Btters which is universally recognized as the most
complete and speedy recuperaut of the physical
forces in existense. 1t has been so thoroughly and
widely demonstrated as to be a matter Of positive
certainty and familiar knowledge, that the Bltters
will not only rehabilitate the physique when shat
tered and wasted by disease, but will also, II taken
systematically, actually compensate the constitu-
tionaly feeble frame for its deficiency Of strength
and by infusing new life into weak system, endow
1t with the health and vigor which Nature has de-
MED it. The Bltters enable the body to resist the
enervating influences ofhest, humidity, and changes
from temperate to hot climate. 1t is on these
accounts specially to be recommended to travellers
and residents in the torrld zone and persons sub
jec ed to abrupt transitions in temperature.
