In the New York San, of April 18th, we

conducted successful revivals in this city:
"The Widow Van Colt ended her revival

A circular was read setting forth that the

that each state interested should pay S., 900

by far too much, the Association deeming

Dragging Out Existence.

The nervous weakly invalid does not

ence,' as the phrase is. Untitled for tie
active pursuits of life. and incapable of
partaking of its pleasures, to which health
alone can give zest; disinclined to social
intercourse. and prey to melancholy, the
valetudinarian is iuueed an object of pity
Yet there is nothing in all this that cannot
be remedied by that genial Alternative tonic
and nerviue, Hostetters Stomach Bit.ers,
which supplies deficient stamina, braces the
nervous system, and .overeomes those bodi-
iy irregularities to which nervous weakness
is most frequently attributable. Diseases
of the kidney and bladder, imperfect dlges-
ton and uterine troubles are fertile sources
of debility. Their eradication however, be-
comes a matter of certainty when Hostel
ter's Stomach Bitters are Systematically
used for that purpose. The bitters likewise
annihilate and prevent fever and ague and
other facilitating febrile complaints of a
malarial nature. L
