The discovery by the inhabitants of a locality
hitherto unvisited by the pestilent scourge of
fever and ague, that it exists in their very
midst, is decidedly startling. Such discoverie^
are made at every season, in every part of thk
Union. Subsequently, when it is ascerUilNi t"
as it invariably is at such times, through the
valuable experience of some one who has been
benefited and cured, that Hostetter’^ Stomach
Bittdrs is a thoroughly efficacious eradi -ator
of tne malarial poison, and a means of fortify
ing the. system against it, a feeling of more
security and tranquility reigns throughout the
whole neighborhood. ^Besides the febrile lorins
of malarial disease, dumb ague and ague cake
are removed by the potent action of the Bit
ters. to which science also gives its sanction as
a remedy for rheumatism, dyspepsia, constipa

and all diseases impairing thu. organs of di
