Our Dormant EnerRies.-Our bodies arc
not as vigorous nor our minds as clear rs they
might be. This remark is true of at least two
thirds of civilized society, and OF these I'VE
thirds probably one-ha1f is laboring under bodily
inirmIties of q character likely to shorten the
lives of the sufferers. This is q melancholy ex-
hibit and furnishes abundant food for reflection.
Can the evil be mitigatedq 1t can. Lack OF Vi
tality is the primary cause Of most of the phys
ical and mental suffering to which VIC arc sub
jected, and therefore a vitalizing medicinal
agent is the remedy required. Is there such q
medicine There is. Hostetter's Stomach Bit
tiers will rouse and energize the mind and body
when the life power of the system is in q COM
paratively dormant state. The languid, feeble,
Responding invalid is not aware of the latent
energies that underlies his debility. He thinks
there is no element of vigor left in his frame,
when the fact is that his physical capabilities
are merely asleep and only require waking up.
Let him stimulate and tone his animal ma
chinery and endow it with new motive power,
through the agency of this Incompatible invig-
GRANT, and he will soon feel like u new man, or
rather like a man who has received IL new lease
of life, and the requisite health to enjoy it.
Many business men suffer from chronic languor
and depression caused by too close application
to business. Hard students are oppressed with
melancholy from a like cause. Mechanics and
working mel are affected in the same way as a
result of Oyer-labOr. To all who are in this con-
ditiOn, from whatever cause, Hostetter's Stom-
ach Ritters will prove a signal blessing. 1t is a
perfect panacea for physical debility and mental
gloom. 1t strengthens the body, clears the mind
and Gains the nervous system; while as a REM
edy for indigestion, biliousness, constipation,
rheumatism, and intermittent and remittent fe-
yers, it takes precedence of all other medicines.
