THEtt BITTtW ARE HOT EflUAUEa
W. I. A. Tf. OBXELET, rreprWtrw, Boston,
THK OBJECT of all medicine is either to pre
vent disease, or to assist Nature In restoring tht
varloun organs of the body to a hoalthfnl action,
and that medicine Is certainly the best whlci
will perform those offices thoroughly, yet mildly,
and without endangering the vital forces of the
system, by whoso normal condition alone health
and strength can bo preserved. Most of tho Hit
ters that have heretofore been brought Into pop
ular favor, havo only sorved the purpose of totu
pcrarlly stimulating or exciting tho organs Into
a condition resembling healthful action, without
any remedial effect, and generally followed by r.
return of the disease, or a prostration of ncrvcu;
energy moro disastrous than though Nr.turo had
been loft to tako its own courno.
Dr. Greeley's Bitters are a preparation of tht
nutritive properties of tho grain of the fields ii.
combination with the active principle of many
simple alteratives and bitter tonics, and It Is a
ploasuro to the proprietors to state that Its use
fulness la being gt-ncrally acknowledged by the
largely-Increasing consumption in thoso section
whero it is best known, and by tho testimony of
many eminent physicians, who havo not ncly
made trial of It, but continually proscribe the
'Bitters In those canes for which It h: recom
mended.
AGED PEOPLE, AND ALL WEAKLY VRP-
SONS,
Consumptive patients, and others, whose con
stitutions have become Impaired by ttmo, or en
feebled by dlscaso, and in whom tho procena cf
digestion does not replace the fat and tissued of
the body as fast as they waste, will find these
Bitters at once nourishing and strengthening,
and happily adapted for their use. The great
advantage the Bitters posses over ordinary
stimulants usually prescribed in treating lung
complaints and kindred dtseaso3, is tho fact thai
they combine many safe and certain healing
properties in connection with the best known
stimulant,

Will derive great benefit from it. Ko unpleasant
effect will ever result from taking the Bitters, It
the directions aro followed. For those who suf
fer from nervous debility, languor, want of rest,
exhaustion, and in all cibs of weakness, the
Hitters are not equalled.

Of all the ills that atlllct men and women, few

Not a few people, everywhere, complain of
Weakness or Debility. This Is tho gentle hint
of naturo for ft little help in the way of invlgora-
tion. Tho bint should not bo neglected. " A

nature never before attained In any medicine.
will mako the woak strong, the desponding hope
ful, tho sick well. For uny complaint of the
Stomach, Liver, or Bowels, there Is nothing corn
parable with this medicine.
In America, tho Liver is tho best abused of all
the organs in tho body. It is mado the saddle
of all other organs. As n con90iiuonco, it Is often
out of order, and not unfrcquontly nearly inopera
tive. This need not bo ; on tho contrary ,'lt is quite
unnecessary. A little common oenso, and a suf
ficiency of GntsLEY'a Domino:; BrriEns, will keep
the Liver right, and make man a max and wo
man, now miserable, quito happy. Tho Bitters
rcguiato aud strengthen the Liver, no les3 than
parity it.
The Increase of Nervous Disorders, at tho pres
ent day, Is one of tho most alarming indication
of the age, or rather, would bo, were it not that
b most admirable cute bad been found. Thc-ra
Is not a phase of Nervous disease, wliatovcr It
may be, that these Bitters will not act upon
favorably, and in the most efficient manner. AM
who aro unfortunately ulHictcd with complaints
of this nature, or with Indigestion, or any dis
eases of the Stomach, should not tail to make us
of GutsLEva Bourbon Bittios,
Chills and Fever. In many portions of th
United States this terrible, disease oeI:cs its vic
