In cases cf nervous weakness and general debility, the feeblo pulse, the lacklustre eye, the attenuated frame, the flicid muscles, the melancholy visage, inform us as plainly as ii each organ had a to:gue, that a medicated stimulant ls needed. It does not require the aid of a medical education lo understand this dumb appeal for new vigor, from an exhau-ted system. Every reader of these lines can compre? hend it just as well as thc graduate o f a physicians' college. Let not this demand of enfeebled nature ba neglected. Respond to it promptly by coni mcDciug a course ol HOSTEITER'S STOMACH BITTiRS, a preparation uniting in their highest excellence the properties of a STIMULANT, an nr vioosAVT, and an ALTERATIVE. Before three days have elapsed, from the talar g of the first dose, a marked beneficial chango will be manifest in tho bodily and montai condition of the patient. Ihe pulse wlU b* stronger and more regular, the eye will begin to lose its dull expression, the muscular iud nervous systems to recover their fenelon, and die spirits to improve. Persevere, nnd a complete revlv fication of the depressed animal and mental powers is certain. In cases of dyspepsia and bili ousncss, tho fame salutary results will be obtained. The appetite will revive, the sallowness of the skin disappear, and all the distressing symptoms which accompany disorders of the stomaca and liver will rapidly subside. The cold of winter often in? tensifies taese complaints by checking the perspira? tory action, by which so much morbid matter is evaporated through the pores in milder weather, and therefore the BITTERi are especially ustful to tho dyspeptic and bilious at this season.
