THE GREAT MEDICAL MISTAKE

precautions. No efficient means were adopted fol
the prevention of sickness. Sewerage was un-
| known in cities; drainage was rarely attempted
in the country. Heaps of offal were left to rot
in the public streets, and domestic cleanliness,
the great antidote to febrile diseases, was sadly
neglected. 1t is not so now. Wise laws, philan-
thropic institutions, and yigilant sanitary po-
lice, have to great extent, remedied the evil
Nor is this all. PREVENTIVE MEDICATION has
helped materially to lessen the rates of mortality.

escape sickness in unhealthy seasons in conse-
quence of having INvIGoRATED THEIR SYSTEMS IN
ADVANCE by course of HOsTETTER'S STOM-
ACH BITTERS. This pure and powerful vege-
table tonic and Alternative comprises the extracts
and essences of a variety of roots and herbs, re-
nowned for their Strengthening, soothing, vital
izing and purifying properties. These medici-
| nal agents are Incorporated with a spirit abso-
lutely free from the acrid poison which defiles,
more or less, all the liquors of commerce, and
their effect through the whole frame by this ac-
tive, yet harmless stimulant. The result is such
a condition of the system as renders it all but
i,perrous to the exterior causes of disease, such
as damp, fog, sudden alterations Of temperature,
&C. Strength, and the perfect regularity of all
the functions of the body, are the best safe guards
against atmospheric poison and the effects of
unwholesome water, and HOSTETTER'S BIT
TIERS are the best Strengthening and regulating
medicine at present known. For dyspepsia and
biliousnes they are SPECIFIC ABSOLUTE.

1N Generation, the vegetable powers of life
are strong, but in few years how often the pal
lid hue, the lack-ustre eye and emaciated form,
and the impossibilty Of application to mental
effort, show its baneful influence It soon be-
comes evident to the observer that some depress-
ing influence is checking the development of the
body. Consumption is talked of, and perhaps the
youth is removed from school and sent into the
country. This is one of the worst movements.
Removed from ordinary diversions of the ever
changing scenes of the city, the powers of the
body too much enfeebled to give sest to healthful
and rural exercise, thoughts are turned inwards
upon themselves. tsa4f5 ef
