ABROKEN-DOWN SYSTEM. There is a disease to which the doctors give many names, but which few of them understand. It is simply weakness—a breaking down of the vital forces. Whatever its causes, (and they are innu- merable,) its symptoms are nthe main the same, Among the mest prominent are extreme lassitude, logs of appetite, loss of flesh, and great mental de- pression. Indigestion and a Stomach Cough are also frequently concomitants of this distressing state of body and of mind. The common remark in relation to persons in such a condition is, that they are consumptive. Now, what these unfortunates really want is vigor, vital strength; and as certainly as dawn succecds darkness they can recuperate their systems and regain perfect health by resort- ing to HOSTETTER’S CELEBRATED STOMACH BITTERS. It is as clear that a life-reviving Tonic is required in’ such cases, as that the dying flame of an empty lamp requires to be revived with anew supply of oil. Perfectly pure and innocuons, containing nothing but the most genial vegetable extracts, and combining the three grand elements ofa stomachic, an alterative, and a genial invigor- ant. HOSTETTER’S BITTERS are suitable to all constitutions, and are as applicable to the dis- eases and disabilities of the feebler sex as to those of men. jy 1-2w WHY NOT USE THE BEST?
