MALARIoUs FEvERs-ADvICEt to TH0SH
NJ EXPOSED to THEM-All periodical feverE

are caused by the presence of poison 90 no
atmosphere. This poison is either exbaled
from the soil of the locality where the siek<
ness prevails, or waited tbither from dis,
lance by aerial currents. Feyers which are
known to be produced by special local causes are
called ende,nics; while those which cannot thus
be accounted for, and the seeds of which are SUP
posed to be conveyed from afar, are usually spoS
ken of as epidemics. The periodical FevcTs are
divided into two classes, Intermittent and Remit
tent and the difference between them is tlrst
Intermittent Fevers are characterized by inter-
vas in which there is absolute cessation of tho
distressing symptoms of the complaint, while T
Remittent fevers the violence of the disorden
abates at intervals, but the painful symptoms DO
not entirely subside. AS each of these two dis
tinct species of malarous fever is sometimes mis-
taken for the other it is as well that the distlnc-
4ion between them should be clearly understood.
Persons residing in districts where either OF
these scourges prevail. can escape them by,
precautionary medication. Hostetters Bit
TIERS are procurabe everywhere; and, fortified
by the regular use of this agreeable vegetable
antidote the system is as impervious TO tho
miasmatic virus which produces fever ana ague
and bilious remittent fever as asbestos or other
non combustible to the assaults of fire. The
Importance of preparatory course Of the Bit
tiers to individuals about to visit or travel in
sections of country infested with febrile dis
eases, cannot be Overstated. Woe to NM who
encounters the malaria of a tropical seaboardS
or the miasma of Western swamp, with Z
stomach untoned and nerves Embraced! FoA
some time before starting to an unhealthy re-
gion, Oh the journey or voyage thither, anu whia
there. Uostetter's Bitters should be taken, iIf
small doses, once or twice day, as a prefecture
medicine. This advice is founded on experiences
is easily followed, and cannot be neglected by
those whom it concerns without more OF less
danger.
The effect of the Btters in breaking up.
intermittents is really phenomenon IN medl1
cine. A few doses given during the first cold
fit and subsequent sweating stage often preE
vent second paroxysm. No tonic even
administered in chills and fever has performed
such rapid cures or been so uniformly sHccesss
full. 1t is regarded, in the feverrand -agne
districts of the West and South West as
infalbe, and with good reason.
In bilious remittent fevers, when the c'fc9~
laton is not too much excited, and especiailN
during the cOnvaescent stage. the Bitters are
exceedingly useful. They act benefcially on
the liver and bowels; for the preparation II
not merely tonic, but also in high degre9
| ambitious, and moderately aperient Owing
to its stimulating properties being thus quali-

the pulse as the astrinscnt combinations "n
hitter roots with aduterated alcohol called
! tonic tinctures and extracts. Are you 5ihons
| Mutitudes of both sexes will answer ttne
question in the affirmative; for, next 10 disorT
ders of the stomach, liver complaints are perS
haps the most prevalent of all internal dis4
eases Unfortunately the two classes oi maia4
dies are generally found in company for the
liver and the stomach sympathize with eaci4
other so strongly that when one is aillDg the
other is seldom or never in perfect order. BED
fore replying to the query, Are You biliousf,
the reader may perhaps ask, What are the disc
tinctive symptoms of the complaint on
course. when the skin is almost as yellow as 4
buttercup, and there is acute and constano
pain in the right side, it is plain enough that the
sufferer is something more than merely bilious
that his liver is violently congested; in shortS
that he he has the jaundiee. What Is usus
ally termed biliousness is milder visitation
than this yet, sufficiently distressing. lta
usual symptoms are a yellowish tnge in the
whites of the eyes, especially near the innes
corners an uneasy or slightly painful sens'lA
ton in the right side, pain between the shoul{
r-blades, sick headache, lasstude, mental
dizziness, lack of appetite, and irregularity ox
the bowels. Whoever recognizes this diagnosis
as applying to his own condition, may be
quite certain that more bile exists in his blood
and less passes through his bowels than is exS
pedent for his health, and that his liver rec
quires toning and regulating. One of the spec
cal uses of Hostetter's Bitters is to meet
just such exigencies as this. It's tonic principle
rouses the liver from its tOIpor, and its aperi1
ent element gently relieves the intestinal canal
of the accretions consequent upon an insuftit
cent supply of Natures cathartic, the bile.
