A Torpid System.

Sometltoos, without a*y assignable cans*, the physical strength and animal spirit* give way, and a si range torpor falls alke on the body and tntelleet. There Is little or no pain perh*pa, bat th* natural *>gor and elasticity of the nervous and muscular system seem to have departed, and an Indifference to th* pleaanrea of Ufa, and *v«n of lla grave responsibilities, takes the placo of that earnest Interest In both which characterize* every wallhalaneod mind when In a healthy condition. This stale of partial collapae Is often the premonitory symptoms or some serious malady. It indicatee unmistakably that the vital fhwers are languishing and need a stimulant. In sach case* thu effect of a few doeea of Hostotter’s Stomach Bitters Is wonderfully beneficial. The great tonle waken up the system from Ita drowse. The secretions and Hie circulation receive a new empetns. Tho relaxed nerves recover thetr elasticity under the opera’lons of the specific, like the slackened ntrongth of a musical Instrument In the process of tuning. Lethargy and debility are replaced by energy and vigor, tho spirits rise, and life that almost selined a burden while the season of depression lasted, becomes once more enjoyable. That such a radical change should be produced by a remedy entirely devoid of the powerful alkaloids and minerals so extensively used In modem prac tlce, may seem incredible to those who pin their faith on the medicinal efficacy of active poleona, but If these skeptics will take the trouble to enquire of those who have tested tho corrective anil alterative virtues of the Bittern under the clrcum-' stances deecrlbod, they will find the statement tfi be true.
