The wondrous organ that crowns the ediace OF
man is not only the seat Of reflection and the home
OF ideaiiy, but it j. the governing centre O. the
nervous system. When It Is overwrou,ht unduly
excited or affected by irregularities Of those bodily
organs with which it most closely sympathizes, all
the nerves suffer and the general health is i'm
paired. The reason why Hostetter's Stomach Btters
exercise such a soothing influence upon the brain
vs. that they remove those l.estive and bilious
arrangements which react iujur.ously upon it and
that IN relieving irritation or weakness o. the great
sympathet.c nerve which connect5 the stomach and
the brain, they beuelcally Affect the latter organ
as Wei as the former. Sound sleep. ciearress %.
mind easy d. .estou, and freedom from b.l.ousness
are ensured by this prime rcgulat.ve tonic and
