strozg Nerves an Attainable Blessing


There are many who have meyer known
the blessing of strong nerves, having been
born with weak Ones Those who have,
and through disease or some other cause,
have suffered loss Of nerve power, can,
by contrast. more fully appreciate the
magnitude Of that loss. The true way to
repair tits to invigorate the system through
the medium of improved digestion, secre-
tion and the establishment of a regular
habit of body, three results invariably ac-
complished by the use of Hostetter' s
Stomach Bitters, which insures the thor
ough conversion of the food into pure,
nourishing blood, from which the reryes, in
common with every othe- part of the bodi-
" economy, gather vigor, the grand pre-
requisite of health. The great objection
to sedatives and narcotics is that they not
only exert no tonic influence, but are al
ways followed by hurttul reaction.
Such is far from being the case with the
Bitters, the primary action of which is
most salutary, and whose after effects are
beneficial in the extreme.

The American Journal of Medical Science has
the following in regard to sunstroke:
ut is not really sudden stroke. There are
preliminary symptoms that, if they are needed,
would enable one to avoid the attack. The tenn
perature rises and the individual perspires, be-
comes thirsty, and feels very much exhausted.
These symptoms increase until the temperature
OF the body reaches Ill degrees Fahrenheit, the
skin becomes dry, the sufferer feels terrible
oppression, undergoes violent palpitation, and
experiences an overburdening sense of coming
death. This condition of sunstroke, fatiguing,
utterly Frustrating as it is, may be entirely re-
covered from, but in the higher stages the brain
is throught to be the seat of LESSONS that may
have permanent effect on its functions. These
are supposed to be inhammatory, and to leave
the sufferers liable to mental diseases afterward
1t is consequently the duty of whoever feels the
premonitiOns to succumb at once rather than
tight the fatigue and depression, until it ends in
permanent injury. all persons working in the
open cir will do well to remember.
