Bitters, because that searching corrective
completely removes the causes of brain and
nerve excitement, which are TO be found In

truth which can not bo too earnestly insisted
upon, that the effect OF mere sedatives and
narcotics, like bromide of potassium, va-
lerian, chloral htdrate aud opium, Is less
appreciable the longer they are used, and
that they can never permanently relieve
nervous excitability, because they can not
remedy the weakness and organic deranee-
ment which lies at It's roots. Hostetters
Bitters, however can and does cure nervous
