DECIDEDLY SHAKY. - A trembling hand, au Uncertain step, fidgetiness, indicated by restless shifting from one place or posture to another! usually mental annoyance at unexpected noises, are among the indications of extreme nervous ness. These seem trifling, but the health of men and women in this condition is "decidedly shakey," liable to be overtnrown disastrously by causes .which the vigrous might defy. To fortify the nervous system, general vigor must, through the medium of reinforced digestion and a renewal of an impaired power of sleeping at night, be raised to a healthful standard. A guarantee of this is Hosuetter's Stomach Bitters, which te- stablishe8 digestion, bile secretion, and the habit of body on a permanantly regular basis, thus renewing the bodily equilibruim, which is followed by a gain of strength and nerve tranquillity. For kidney complaint, rheumatism, neuralgia, and as a preventive of the first attack' or subsequent return et malarial disorders, this medicine is without a peer. Thrice daily take a wineglassful.
