TUE pabilo esteem in which PANK NIN'S HEPATIC BITTEBH aro held, is another proof of their excellence ss a Tonic. They are recommended by physi? cians generally, and have noyer disap? pointed those who have made nen of thom. They giro sore and speedy relief in nausea, aiok headache, dyspepsia and all similar complaints. For sale by all druggists. April 14 mly DB. O. H. MIOT, Agent. IT IS AMAZING-That the feeble should totter, with uncertain atepa, over the faco of the earth, in dangar every day of falling victims to the morbid influences by which we are all surrounded, when a teated and proven vegetable tonic, capable of endowing thom with the vigor they need, is procurable in every city, town and aettlement. It might reasonably bo thought that after the twelve yearn expe? rience which the world has had of HOS TETTER'S BITTERS, all would know that its effect is to prevent diaease. At thia season the atmoaphero ia sur? charged with the seeda of intermittents, r?mittente, rheumatism, pulmonary dis? orders, bilious complaints and the like. Person? whose nervous systems are re? laxed are the first to succumb to these distempers. Brace up the physical enor giea then with this potential vegetable touic. It ia the most powerful r?cup?rant which the botanic kingdom has ever yielded to patient research and experi? ment. Try it. The blindest disciple of the old medical dogmas will at least admit that a tome and alterative, compounded of approved herbs, roots and barks, can doro harm, while tho teatimony of thou? sands invites ? trial of its virtues. Vigor ia the thing most needed in these oases as woll as in dyspepsia and nervous affections, and Hoalotter's Bitters is the safest, [surest and most wholesome strengthening preparation that bunnin skill has yet concocted. Hundreds of physicians have abandoned all tho officinal receipts and proscribed thia harmless tonic as a preventive and cure for all cases of chills and fever.
