THE UNEXPECTED DISCHARGE OF A CANNON Close by would not have a more dis turbing effect upon the nerves which are vigorous, than an ordinary noise upon tlhos which are weak and un strung. As a nervine, Hostetter's Stomach Bltteirs is unrivalled. 'By pro moting digestion and assimilation they overcome that gastric disorder, which s the most prolific cause of nervous debility, and wiileh, so long as it exists, defeats in a large measure the action of sedatives and oplaltes. Such reme dies, moreover, necessitate the use of increasing doses, and finally cease to act altogether, except in dangerous quantities. They never reach the foun tain head of the trouble, and quiet the nerves only by eemi-paralyzlng them. Equally objectionable are fiery unmedi tated alcoholic stimulants. Kidney, bladder and liver trouble, malaria, con stipation, and rheumatism are relieved by the Bitters, which also promotes appetite and nightly repore.
