THE LABORATORY OF THE ~SYSTEM.-The stom-
ach is the laboratory of the system, in which
certain mysterious processes are co9stlntly 60
ing on. These results in the production OF that
wonde full vivifying agent the blood, which in a
state OF health rushes laden with the elements
of vitality to the remotest parts of the system.
But when the tomach is semi-l aralvzed by dis
pepsia, blood manufacture is carried on imper-
fectly, the circulation grows thin and sluggish,
and the system suffers in consequence. More
over, indigestion reacts upon the liver and bow
els, rendering the first sluggish. and the latter
constipated. The brain also suffers by Sympa-
thy, and sick headaches. sleeplessness and ner-
Gus symptoms are engendered. lIostettea'S
Stomach Bitters reforms this state of things,
gives permanent tone and regularity to the
stomach and Its associate organs, the bowels
and liver, and ensures complete nourishment
and increased vigOr of the system. 1t Is the
most popular as well as the most efficient ai:ti-
dyspeptic and tonic liz America. ju
