Neuyocs Complications.?Chronic
indigesliou, or dyspepsia, sometimes
produces serious disturbances of the
nervous system; but sometimes the
oerves are iu tbe first place disordered,
aud are the cause of chronic indiges?
liou. Iu whichever of these two ways
the disease ma;, have beeu developed,
it requires for its cure a me.diciue
which combiues the properties of a
nerve tonic and an alterative, and
these essentiul qualities ure most hap?
pily united in the foremost remedy of
the present nge, Hostetter'a Stomach
Bitters. To suppose that auy con?
siderable number of our people ure uu
iicqnaiuted with the virtues of this
famous vegetable stomachic aud in
vigoraut would be nu iusult to Ameri?
can intelligence. Year after year, for
half u ge. jrution, the history of its
accooasus as a preventive of, aud reme?
dy for, all disorders of the stomach,
liver and bowels, und as a specific for
malarious fevers, nervous complaints
and general debility, has- been written
by those whose health it has preserved
or re-established, authenticated by
their signatures, and published in tho
lending newspapers of the country.
The unquestionable proofs of its su?
periority over every other preparation
of its class, have, during that time,
beeu constantly accumulating, aud
have formed an important part of the
current medical literature of America.
Statesmen, philosophers, poets, di?
vines, jndgee, lawyers, actors, novel?
ists?iu short, men aud women who
have distinguished themselves in all*
honorable walks of life, und whose
names arc house-hold words whorever
tho English tongue is spoken, have
voluntarily come forward und endorsed
this great remedy. These statements,
founded on persoual experience, have
naturally hud great weight with the
coinmuuity, and hence it is that Hos?
tetter'a Stomucb Bitters now stands at
the head of tho proprietary medicines
manufactured on this side of the At?
lantic, as regards tho amount of its

Many who are suffering from the
effects of the warm weather and are
debilitated, are advised by physicians
to take moderute amounts of whiskey
two or three times during the day. Iu
a little while, those who adopt this
advice frequently increase tho uumbor
of "drinkV and in time become con?
firmed inebriates. A beverage which
will not create thirst for intoxicating
liquors, und which is intended espe?
cially for the benefit of debilitated
persons, whether ut home or abroad, is
Dr. Scbeuek's Sou WeodTouio. Con?
taining tho juices of many medicinal
herbs, this preparation does not create
au appetite for the intoxicating cup.
The nourishing and the life-supporting
properties of many valuable natural
productions contained in it and well
kuown to medical men have a most
strengthening influence. A single
bottle of the Tonic will demonstrate its
valuable qualities. For debility aris?
ing from sickucss, over-exertion or
from any cause whatever, a wine
glassful of Sea Weed Tonic, taken
utter meals, will strengthen the sto?
mach und create an appetite for whole?
some food. To all who are ubout
leaving their homes, we desire to say
that the excellent effects of Dr.
Snhenck's seasonable remedies, Sea
Weed Touio and Muudruko Pills, are
particularly evident when tukeu by
those who aro injuriously affected by a
change of water and diet. No person
should leave home without taking a
