Nehvocs Complications.?Chronic
indigestion, or dyspepsia, sometimes
produces serious disturbances of tbe

and ure tbe cause of chronic iudiges
tiou. In whichever of these two ways
tho disease may have beeu developed,
it requires for its cure a medicine
which combines the properties of u
nerve tonic aud uu alterative, und
these essentiul qualities ure most hap?
pily ouited in the foremost remedy of
tbe present age, Ilostetter's Stomach
Bitters. To suppose that any con
u.ub'o number of cur people are un?
acquainted with thu virtues of this
famous vegetable stomachic aud in
vigoraot would be nu insult to Ameri?
can intelligence. Year alter year, for
half a generation, the history of its
successes as a preventive of, and reme?
dy for, all disorders of the stomuch,
liver aud bowels, und as a specific for
malarious fevers, nervous complaints
and general debility, ha? been written
by those whose health it has preserved
or re-established, authenticated by
their signatures, and published in tho
leading newspapers of the country.
The unquestionable proofs of its su?
periority over every other preparation
of its class, have, during that time,
been constantly accumulating, aud
bavo formed an important part of the
current medical literature of Americu.
Statesmen, philosophers, poets, di?
vines, judges, lawyers, actors, novel?
ists?in short, meu aud women who
have distinguished themselves iu all'
honorable walks of life, und whose
leiuM are housu-hold words wherever
the English tongue is spoken, huve
voluntarily come forward and endorsed
this greut remedy. These statements,
founded on personal experience, have
naturally hud great weight with the
coinmuuity, and hence it is that Ilos?
tetter's Stomuch Bitters now stunde at
the head of the proprietary medicines

Many who are suffering from the
effc.ots of the warm weather aud ure
debilitated, are udvised by physicians
to take moderuto amounts of whiskey
two or three times during the day. Iu
a little while, those who adopt this
advice frequently increase tho number
of "drinks," und in time become con?
firmed inebriates. A beverage which
will not create thirst for intoxicating
liquors, and which is intended espe?
cially for the benefit of debilitated
persons, whether at home or abroad, is
i)r. Scheuck's Sea Weed Tonic Con?
taining tho juices of mauy medicinal
herbs, this preparation does not create
au appetite for tho intoxicating cup.
The nourishing and tbe life-supporting
properties of many valuable natural
productions contained iu it and well
known to medical men have a most
strengthening influence. A single
bottle of the Tonic will demonstrate its
valuable qualities. For debility aris?
ing from sickness, over-exortion or
from any cause whatever, a wine
glassful of Sea Weed Tonic, taken
after meals, will strengthen tbe sto?
mach aud create uu appetite for whole?
some food. To all who are ubont
leaving their homes, we desire to say
that the excellent effects of Dr.
Schenck's seasonable remedies, Sea
I Weed Tonic and Maudruke Tills, are
particularly evident when taken by
I those who uro injuriously affected by n

should leave home without taking n
