THE MISERAni.ES OE THIS BRIGHT AND CHEERFUL WORLD ARB THE UT 8 PE PT lc S- Wi thon t a good digestion there can neither be bodily comfort nor mental enjoyment. Botween the stomach and the brain there is a close and wonderful alliance. If the one is disordered the other ia gloomy, dejected, incapable of effort, and indifferent to all that makes life agreeable to the healthy. Ia this a condition that any rational hu? man being is willing to endure, when the means of certain, immediate and perma? nent relief can bo obtained everywhere? The Dyspeptic baa his fato in his own banda. BT he chooaoa to banish forever the disorder that racks bia body and dis? turbs the mind with nameless horrors, ho has only to step to tho nearest drug store and procure a supply of HOSTETTER'S STOMACH BITTERS. No phase of Dyspepsia has ever yet ro aisted the alterative, tonio and anti-bilious operation of this potent vegetable specific. It literally regenerates the lethargic sto? mach; rouses into healthy action the dor? mant liver; puts to flight the diemal fan? cies that beset the mind; gently relieves and regulates the bowels; strengthens the enfeebled nerves; restores the appetite, aud makes, as it were, a now creature of the desponding and debilitated invalid. Ladies who huffer from indigestion have only to take a small dose of this pure vege? table corrective, once or twice a day, to secure entire exemption from the pains and penaltiea of a weak stomach ami that ?ierfect functional regularity, which but ow of the sex uninterruptedly enjoy.
