Healthfal Stimulation.

Difusible stimulants, provided they be absolutely
pure. are among the most useful medicinal agents
employed by physicians When the tone of the sys-
TEN is lowered by the depressing influences Of disease
there is inherent want Of vgOr in the c0nsttu
tion they to counterfeit weakening tendencies
and cheer the mind of the Responding invalid. But
when, in the case of HOstetter's Bitters, they
are rendered permanent, and they accomplish a
treby beneficial result. The Btters not only relieve
nervous debility and mental depression by their
BEAUTIFULLY stimulative action but infuse abiding
vigor into the depleted system, and rectify those
internal disturbances which are the real causes of
weakness. The purity and the wholesomeness of
the alcoholic basis of the Bitters greatly increases
the efficacy Of their botanic ingredients fact which
the completeness Of their curative effects sufficiently
demonstrates,
