by artificial depiction. They are met with TONICS
Hint rally the vital powers and enable thein to de

ture, In Its halites with sickness, is
PLANTATION IHTTKIIS.
This wandet fui vegetable restorative is I he sheet
anchor or the feeble ami debilitated. Asa eordlal
l'or I he age<l and deerepld It has no equal among
Stomachic*. As ii remedy for the nervous weakness
to which the temler sex are especially subject, it
is superseding every other stimulant nnd nervine,
in all climates, tropical, temperate or fright. I!
acts ns a specific in every species of disorder
which undermines the bodily strength aad
breaks down the animal spirits. Wherever It
Is introduced it becomes a standard article
?a medicinal staple. Drnggltts, although ttielr
profit upon It is small, find it Absolutely
necessary to keep n preparation for which
everybody Inquires, and for which nobody
will neerpt a substitute. It is to-day the most
popular medicine lu the civilized world.
Hxtenslvrly as it is advertised, its best ad
vertisement Is lite boitnllclal result which
uniformly follows its use. Kvory bottle sold In
_
sures the sale of at least hair a doxen more. Cn
like other stimulants, it braces and tortille* the
system without exciting undue cerebral action,
The cheering eti'eet which It produces upon tho
mind Is not momentary, but permanent. There Is
no subsequent depression. It docs not, ns Is tho
case with all other stimuli, beget n craving for ex
citants, ?n the other hand, It soothes and calms

The perfect pnrity of all its ingr?dients, their
admirable adaptation to the purposes they
nie intended lo subserve, the judicious pro
portions in which they are combined, and
tho scientific skill with which they are blend
ed, render' this famous nrtlelo at once Hie
moat polenl and the most h?rmte? or all known
