The Heated Term.

August is invariably an unhealthy month, and
the dog-days are universally quoted as an un.
healthy season. Diseases more frequently ter
inmate fatally at this time than at any other
owing to the re taxation Of the system. This is,
therefore, the proper time to use remedy that
win recuperate the strength aud fortify the sys.
TEN against the attacks of disease. Experience
has demonstrated the fact that HOSTETTER' Is
STOMACH BITTERS Is the best medicine used
to accomplish this desirable object BY its use
the appetite Is increased, digestion promoted,
all feelings of depression removed, aud the vita
functions restored. The afflicted should avoid
all pernicious alcoholic preparations purporting
to be tonics and restoratives, as they only afford
temporary exhiliration, and eventually entail
dangerous, If not fatal results. This is never
the case with HOSTETTERS STOMACH BIT
TIERS. They afford permanent benefit and soothe
the nerves without reaction following their use.
The weak and debitated, by its aid, awake to a
sense Of the enjoyments of life, and they are en-
abled once more to take their accustomed posi-
tions in society. H0STETTER's BITTERs are
now considered the standard remedy for all dis
cases arising from an impurity of the blood.
They are manufactured in great quantities, and
there is scarcely city or hamlet on the babtablc
globe where they may not be found.

The Jackson standard. [volume] (Jackson C.H., Ohio) 1847-1888, 1868-08-13

UNHEALTHY.-Jackson is an un-
healthy place for Democratic editors That eel
ebroted young poet, W. w. MOIott, has drop
ped the quill" on account of falling health.
About the close of the war one of his lllustrious
predecessors had toquit on account ofbad health,
In fact, at that time most of the Democrats
about Jackson were in m unhealthy condition.
Last winter this young man Malott came to
this place, and before he had been here long
enough to vote--when he was mere carpet
bagger, he commenced series Of attacks upon
the editor of the STANDARD probably having
been told by the old stagers here that that was
the style of Democratic editors at this place.
We took no notice of the attacks of this poor
slmpeton, as we considered him beneath our
notice. Any physician looking into his hang
dog countenance could tell in moment what
was the matter with him, and any, philqnthro-
pist could only feel pity for the poor devil
Wesuppose that Irvine DUNCAN will continue
to run that part of the Herald which is not
edited and printed in Illinois. We hope the
duties required of him will not be SO arduous rs
to destroy his health, as 1t has done that of his
predecessors. ..... tst.
