' There is ?carel j in j disease in which purge tire medicines are not nore or lau required, and much suffering might be prevented were they more generally used. No person *.n feel weil while a cos tire habit .of body prevails ; besides it soon generates a?rions diseases wbieh night hare been avoided by a timely ase of Cathartic Medicines. For this purpose Dr. Tait's Vegeta? ble Lirer Pills are confidently recommended ; they are mild, safe, prompt and uniform tn their action. They. contain no Mercury. Persons may eat and drink as usual, ana they nay be taken at any time. ? Few tTorda to the Ladlee, Many ladies, particularly mothers nursing, complain of a tired, listless feeling, or complete exhaustion, on arising ia the morning. On the wife ead mother devolves the responsibility of regulating the ditties of the household. Ber cares are numer?os, and the mental as well as the physical powers are frequently called into requisition. She often Iuds her slightest occu? pation a weary teak and existence a burden, while at the same time she has no regular dis? ease. Hoste.ter's Stomach Bitters, if resorted to at this period, will prore an unfailing remedy for this annoying lassitude. The effects of this potent agent are soon seen in the rosy cheek and elastic step of the bead of the family, as with restored health aad renewed spirits she takes her accustomed place in the family circle. If this friend in need be regularly used, those de? pressing symptoms will never be complained of, and not only would lassitude not be experienced but many diseases following its adrent be avoid ed. As a medical agent it bas no equal, while its pleasing flavor and healthful effects hare made it a general favorite. It is free from all properties calculated to impair the system, and its operations are at once mild, soothing and efficient. All who have used the Bitters attest its virtues and commend it to use.
