What H e Meed When Debilitated. Appetite and digestion languish at this season. At the very time when the body most needs renovation and support, the stomach, its commissariat department, is apt to prove delinquent; " 'Under such cir cumstances tln necessity for; a wholesome stimulant, tonic and 'corrective, is sell evident, and consequently the demand for that peerless combination of the three re quired elements, Hostettcr's Stomach Bit ters, is never more urgent than at mid summer. It is true that a few medical bigots fos sils "left over" from the dark ages recom mend violent purgation and a water gruel as a cure forindigesti n and its accompany ing ills: but they make Tew proselytes. The Sajority of the community are sane. ami all sane people are aware tuat a pure and vegetable tonic with alterative proper ties, like Hostettcr's Stomach Bitters, is the only cure for dystiepsia. biliousness, constipation, nervousness and the "con sequential damages" they inflict. The human intellect, unless hopelessly diseaiied tor egregiously humbugged, de clins to astonish the weakened -human itomach with fierce cathartics that, rushing ike an avalanche through the intestines, threaten to take the inner membrane with them. To use a significant catch-phrase the k nock-do wu-and-d rag-out methods of treatment are "played out. It is clearly understood that a medicated stimulant is essential to the redovation of an exhausted frame and that you cannot strengtl e i man or woman by dosing them with prostrating preparations. Tins is an era of common sense, and common sense approves of Hostetter s Bitters as the best article extant for invigorating, regulating and nnrifvinsr the svstem and defending it against poison in the air we breathe, or the water we drinic.
