A medicine that has done more than all tho proscriptions of tlie pharmacopeia to protect the human system against tlie iKidily ills superinduced by unhealthy sur roundings, is certainly worthy of universal confidence. It Is mainly on account of its extraordinary preventive properties that Hostetier's Slomiub Bitters is so ex ceedingly popular in localities subject to tho visitation of miasmatic fevers and other diseases produced by empoisoued air. A family that has escaped sickness during a sickly season in consequence of using the Bitters as a safeguard, is a living advertisement of the virtues of the pre paration. The whole neighborhood real- ,. -ize the fact. "I couldn't Iwlievc it," says i II OXTACJUE & one. "I scarcely orejueu tnc uiivcrtisc ments; bnt one must lielieve what one sees," says another. " It is tlie very thing we need in tills nnwholsomc section of country," remarks a third. And file re sult Is that the Instinct of self defence, the first law of nature, induces three-fourths of that community to obtain a supply of the great vegetable nntwote nciore mo next sickly season sets in. In the winter, when the system requires extra vigor and elasticity to enable It to hatfle the effects of damparidcold tlie Bitters will lie found imr tlcularly serviceable. Rheumatism will not he apt to fasten npou muscles and nerves that have been braced up by this excellent Invlgorant and nervine; nor will the severities of tlie season, which have such adisaatwmselrect on the pulmo nary organs of the feeble and delicate, be likely to exercise the same nntoward influ ences in cases where I lie stomach and the external surface of tho body (which always sympathizes with the digestive organs! liavebecn toned andstiranlated li aconrc of the restorative. The Btsof indigestion and irregularities nrh bowels which pro ceed from sudden changes of weather may always beaisnrtedtji a timely use of tbe Bitters. A. W. GAMBLE, IH.
