SPECIAL NOTICES.
A Dead DelUsiOn.

The theory that human beings whose
strength has been exhausted by pain and
sickness can be restored by depicting medi-
cineS and water Cruel, if not absolutely a
dead delusion, is in the last agonies Of dis
solution. At length II is understood that
strength cannot he purged into debilitated
frame, though lie may easily be purged
ont of il, and that IL is about as wise to
withhold a healthful stimulant from the
weak, in the expectation that they will
rally without one, as it would be to de-
prive a lamp of oil and expect it to burn
the brighter tor it.
The immense and uniform success which
has attended the use OF that wonderful
combination of pure stimulant with the
finest medicinal herbs, known as Hostel.
ters Stomach Bitters, has largely assisted
in dispellng the absurd chimera. Frantic
attempts are made to revive it, but in vain.
When the sick feel that their strength Is
departing, and that unless invigorated
they must utterly break down, II is in vain
of genuine reStorativeS. They may be i'm.
posed upon this way once, but the IMPOSE
ton cannot be repeated. They desire to be
refreshed, comforted, braced up, and de- slime
to be griped a second time.
Under the operation OF the Bitters, on the
other hand, all the processes necessary TO
physical restoration go on simultaneously.
The system is stimulated and toned, the
bowels regulated, the appetite cultivated,
the nerves composed and the condition of
the blood improved at one and the same
time by a single medicine. Common sense
tells us that such preparation must be in
yalrahlp
