THE i.\ fi it ni ii i KN OP AGE_Decrep?
itado is tho natural accompanimont of old
ago, but it may be amelioratod, and tho period
of entire helplessness long postponed by tho
[ judicious uso of a healthful stimulant. Phy
uicians, fully aware of this fact, usually recom?
mend modorate stimulation when tl*e strength
and vigor of maturity have been suspended
by the feebleness and prostration winch aro
the inevitable results of declining years. Port
nine. gin. brandy and other liquors are often
prescribed by medical men for aged per ons,
but tho impulse which fermented and die
tilled liquors give tn tho circulation, and tho
energy they nu?m to impart,ia transitory, un

and invigorautH. Of all tho combinations of
diffusive stimuli with the juica nf herbs,
roots and barks that have ever been adminis?
tered to tho aged and infirm, with tho view of
su?t aining their waning strength, cheering
their drooping spirit* and relieving the adieu
and paiiiB to which they are subjected, none
has boen found so etlioaciuus, so agreeable
and so permanent in ita effects as HOSTET?
