Undeveloped vigor. The feeble and debil-
itated usually fancy they are in more hope
less condition than they really are. Tho re-
sources of nature are not easily exhausted.
Even when strength and appetite fail, when
the eyes are heavy, and lasterless, the com
plexion pallid. the nerves tremulous. the body
attenuated and the mind depressed. there is
generally a reserve Of latent power behind such
palpable evidences of weakness. Various
modes Of treatment are resorted to by physi-
clans in the hope of developing and rendering
available this store of sleeping vitality but this
surest, and indeed the only thoroughly safe
and reliable means of awakening the DOR
mant energies of the system Is course Of
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. Electricity,
shower baths. the flesh brush. sea bathing.
ETC., may be well enough In their way, as aux
iliaries, but they do not reach the source of the
evil. All physical debility proceeds either
from derangsment of the functions of the as
similative, secretive and vital organs, or from
q sluggish constitution. In either case. and
also in cases whore both causes exist. the
Bltters will invariably produce an immedi-
ate and salutary change in the condition
of the patient and eventually effect
complete cure. None Of the dangerous aka
loids, too eften administered as tonics, can be
otherwise than deIeterious under such oircum-
stances. and to give mercury is positively
criminal. The direct effect of the great veg
etable specific viii be manifested in an i'm
proved appetite. more cheerful frame Of
mind. gradual return of strength. an in
crease of flesh, and healthier complexion.
Meanwhile. however. the constitution. fin
ert and feeble. will have been reused and rem
oyated by the subtle elements of IMMIGRATION
contained in the kitters.
