The acquisition of vital energy IS the stepping
stone 10 health. When the system lacks vitality,
the various organs flag in their duty, become
ehronically irregular, and disease is eventually
Instituted To prevent this unhappy state Of
things, the debilitated system should be built up
bv the use of that iuimita5le tonic, Hostetter's
Stomach Bii;ers which in7igoiates the digestive
organs, aud insures the thorough conversion Of
food into blood OF a nourshing quality, from
whence every muscle, nerve and fiber acquire IN
wonted supplies Of yigor, and the who.e system
experiences the beneficial effect. Appetite re-
turns, TIE system is refreshed BY hea thful slum-
Der, the nerves grow strong and calm, the des-
pondency begoticn Of chronic indigestion and an
uncertain state of health disappears, and that sa
low appearance Of the skin peculiar to habitual
invaIids and persons deficient in vital energy, is
replaced by more becoming tiuge.
