surest rranquilazsr of the Nerves.

The surest tranquilizer of the nerves is
medicine which remedies their supersen
sitiveness by invigoratipg them. Oyer
tenstion of the nerves always weakens
them. What they need, then. is tonic,
not u sedative. The latter is only useful
when there is intense mental excitement
and an immediate necessity exists for pro-
ducing quietude of the brain. Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters restores tranquility of the
nerves by endowing them with the vigor
requisite to bear, without being Jared or
disturbed unhealthfully, the ordinary i'm
pressions produced through the media oi
sight, hearing and reflection. Nay, it does
more than this, enables them to sustain
degree of tension from mental application
which they would be totally unable to en-
dure without its assistance. Such at least
is the irresistible conclusion to be drawn
from the testimony of business and pro-
fessional men. litterateurs, clergymeD, and
others, who nave tested the fortifying and
reparative influence of this celebrated tom
ic and nervine.
