A Body and Mind Disease.

Such is dyspepsia. The stomach and the
brain are too intimately allied or the one
to suffer without the other, so that dyspep-
STA and dependency are inseperable. 1t
NAV be added, too, that irritation of the
stomache is almost invariably accompanied
by irritation of the temper.
The invigorating and Manipulating OPP
Grafton of Hostetter's Bitters is most pow
crfully developed in cases OF indigo stiOn.
The first effect of this agreeable tonic is
comforting and encouraging. A mild
glow ~pervades the system the system, the
chronic uneasiness in the region of the
the stomach is %lcssened, and the nervous
restlessness which cllaructerizes the disease
is abated. This improvement is not tram
silent. 1t is not succeeded by the return
of the old symptoms with superseded force.
As is always the case when unmedicated
stimvlants are gived tor the complaint.
Each dose seems to in'part a permanent
accession OF healtllful IMMIGRATION. But
this is not all. The APPARENT and anti-bll-
ious properties of the preparation are
scarcely secondary in importance to its
tonic virtues. If there is an overflow of
bile the sccresion is soon brought within
proper limits, and if the hillary organ Is
inert and torpid it is toned and regulated.
The effect upon the discharging organs is
equally salutary, and in cases of constipa-
ton the cathartic action is just sufficient
to produce the desired result gradually
and without pain. The Bitters also pro-
mote healthy evaporation from the sur
face, which is particularly desirable at
this season when sudden spells of raw, un-
pleasant weather are apt to check the nat
ural perspiration and produce congestion
of the liver, coughs, and colds. The best
safeguard against all diseases is bodily
vigor, and this the or, at Vegetable Re-
stOrative especially promotes.

estimated that the cost OF this enter
