MALARIoUs FEvERs-Advice to those ev-

/
by the presence of poison in the atmosphere.
This poison is either exhaled from the soil OF
the locality where the sickness prevails, or
waited thither from distance by arial cur
rents Fevers which are known to be produced
| by special local causes are called endemics;
while those which cannot thus be accounted for,
and the seeds of which are supposed to be con-
veyed from afar, are usually spoken Of as cpl
denies. The periodical Fevers are divided into
two classes, Intermittent and Remittent and
the difference between them is this Jntermt-
| tent Fevers are characterized by intervals in
which there is an absolute cessation Of the dis
tressing symptoms Of the complaint, while in
Remittent Fevers the violence OF the disorder
abates at intervals, but the painful symptoms
do not entirely subside. As each of these two
distinct species Of malarious fever is sometimes
mistaken for the other it is as well that tho
distinction between them should be clearly un-
| derstOod.
Persons residing in districts where either OK
these scourges prevail, can escape them by pre-
cautonary medication Hostettel's Btters are
procurabe everywhere, and, fortified by tho
regular use of this agreeable vegetable anti
dote the system is rs impervious to the MAS
matte virus which produces Fever and Aguo
| and bilious remittent fever as best0s or other
non -combustible to the assaults OF fire. The
importance Of preparatory course OF the Bit
ters to individuals about to visit or travel
in sections of country infested with febrile
diseases, cannot be Overstated. Woe to him
who encounters the malaria Of tropical sea-
board, or the miasma of Western swamp with
stomach untOned and Embraced! For some
time before starting to an unhealthy region, on
the journey or voyage thither, and while there,
Hostetter's Bitters should be taken, in small
doses, once or twice day, as protective
medicine. This advice is founded on experience,
is easily followed, and cannot be neglected by
those whom it concerns without more OF less
| danger.
The effect of the Btters in breaking mp in.
termittents is really phenomenon in medicine
A few doses given during the first cold fit and
subsequent sweating stage often prevent Sec
ond paroxysm. No tonic ever administered in
chills and fever has performed such rapid cures
or been so uniformly successful. II is regarded
in the fever-and-ague districts Of the West and
| South West as infallible and with good reason.
| In bilious remittent fevers, when the crcula-
| ocI al, Iup-
ing the convalescent stage, the Bitters are ex-
ceedingly useful. They act benefcally on tho
liver and bowels; for the preparation is not
merely tonic, but also in high degree anti
bilious, and moderately aperient. Owing to its
stimulating properties being thus qualified, it
does not produce the same effect upon the puk0
as the astringent combinations of bitter roots
with adulterated alcohol called tonic tinctures
and extracts.
| Are You bilious9 Mutitudes of both sexes
will answer this question in the affirmative; for,
next to the disorders of the stomach, liver COM
plants are perhaps the most prevalent of all in
tcrnal diseases. Unfortunately, the two classes
of maladies are generally found in company; for
the liver and stomach sympathze with each
other so strongly that when one is ailing tho
other is seldom or never in perfect order. Be
fore replying to the query, "Are you bilious y
the reader may perhaps ask, What are the dis
tnctive symptoms of the complaint? OF course,
when the skin is almost as yellow as butter
cup, and there is acute and constant pam IN the
rcht side il is plain enough that the sufferer Is
something more than merely biliOus-that his
liver is violently congested; in short, that no
has the jaundice. What is usually termed Dll-
iousness is milder visitation than this, yet SUI
Gcienty distressing Its usual symptoms are
velowish tinge in the whites of the eyes, es-
necially near the inner corners, an uneasy or
slightly painful sensation in the right side, pain
betveen the shoulder-blades. sick headache, las
sitpde. mental dulness, lack of appetite, and
irregularity of the bowels. Whoever recognizes
this diagnosis, rs applying to his own condition,
nav be quite certain that more bile exists In his
blood and less passes through his bowels, than
is expedent for his health, and that his liver
requires toning and regulating. One OF the
special uses of Hostetters BlteTs is to meet just
such exigencies as this. Its tonic principle rouses
the liver from its torpor, and its aperent ele-
ment gently relieves the intestinal canal OF the
accretions consequent upon an lnsuincleht sup
ply of Natures cathartic, the bile.
