How TO Grow Cheerful.

Disease is IN u great many-pcrhaps the

OF mental depression. 1t will almost ~invaria
bly, be found, for instance, that hypochondri
acs are dySpepiics, bilious subjects, and all
persons who have had any experience of such
eases are aware that sufferers from diseases
OF the kidneys aud bladder are especially
subject to fits of dependency. The sure
way to overcome depression is to try u course
OF liostcttcr's stomach Bitters, cheering
cordial which is peculiarly %antagonistic to
the %'hlucs," as well as to the causes which
produce them. This popular and cficaciouS
corrective OF a diSordercd condition of the
system remedies the most obstinate cases Of
indigestion, %blliousness and constipation,
overc0mes the disorders OF the uniary organs,
pnrlfes and enriches the blood, and restores
vlgor to the body as well as elasticity to the
