THE QUESTION Is DAILY ASKED BY
THOUSANDS OF OUR CITIZENS, ''Wky
is IL that the IXL Bitters HAVE A
CHlEVED SUCH POPULARITY WITH TIL

LISlIED ARTICLE AND ARE MADE FROM
THE MOST CHOICE HERBS AND ROOTS /;
THE MANY WHO HAVE TRIED THEM

TIES, AND HAVE NO HESITATION IN

FLICTED FRIENDS.

Our Dormant Energies,

Our bodies are not as vigorous, nor our
minds as clear as they might be. This
remark is true Of at least two-thirds of
civilized society, and of these two-thirds
probably one-hall is laboring under bod-
ly infrmities of a character likely to shor-
ten the lives of the sufferers. This is
melancholy exhibit and furnishes abund-
ant food for reflection. Can the evil be
mtigated 1t can. Lack of vitality is
the primary cause Of most of the physical
and mental suffering to which we are sub
jected, and therefore vitaiizing medic
inal agent is the remedy required. Is
there such medicine There is. Hos
letters Stomach Bitters will rouse and
energize the mind and body when the
life power of the system is in compara-
lively dormant state. The lsnguid, fee
BILE, desponding invalid is not aware of
the latent energies that underlies his de-
bility. He thinks there is no element of
vigor lett in his frame, when the fact is
that his physical capabilities are merely
asleep and require waking. Let him
stimulate and tone his natural machinery
and endow it with new motive power,
through the agency of this incompatible
invigorant, and he will soon feel like n
new man, or rather like man who has
received II new lease of life. and the req
uste health to enjoy it. Many business
men suffer from chronic languor and dc.
preston caused by too close application to
business. Had students are eften op.
pressed with melancholy from like
cause. Mechanics and working men are
affected in the same way as the result OF
over-labor. To all who are in this condi-
ton, from whatever cause, Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters will prove an invaluable
blessing. 1t is q perfect panacea for
physical debility and mental gloom. 1t
strengthens the body, clears the mind and
cams the nervous system while as Il
remedy ior indigestion, bliousness, con-
stipation, rheumatism, and intermittent
and remittent tevers, it takes precedence
Of all other medicines.
