Mg- LAssITUDE AND DEBILITY.-The re)axa-
ton of nervous energy, which creates an inds-
position to physical or mental effort, SO strong
rs almost to amount to positive inability, and
which we term lassitule, proceeds from varie-
ty of causes. The principal of these are consti-
tutional debility, heat of the atmospheric coupled
with humidity, climatic changes, and the physi-
cal prostration consequent upon II long Illness
But whatever the cause, it must be perfectly
clear that If the nervous system is unduly relax
ed, something is required to brace 1t up. That
something is Hostetter's Bittcrs, which is univer-
sally recognized as the most complete and speedy
recuperant of the physical forces in existence
1t has been so thoroughly and widely demon
strated rs to be matter Of positive certainty and
familiar knowledge, that the Bitters will not on
ly rehnbilitste the physique, when shattered and
wasted by disease, but will also, if taken sys-
tematically, actually compensate the constitu-,
tionallv feeble frame for its deficiency of
strength, and by infusing new life into a weak
system, endow it with the health and vigor
which Nature has denied it. The Bitters also
enable the body to resist the enervating intu-
ences of heat humidity, and changes from a
temperate to hot climate. 1t is on these &C
counts specially to be recommended to travellers
and residents in the torrid zone, and persons
subjected to ABRUPT transitions i'll temperature.
