We Live i'm Three Climates.

In this country we have at different seasons oil
the year, the temperature of three climates. Our
Springs and Autumns lave a sOftness and mild
ness that belong only to the Temperate Zones !;
our Midsummers torrid, and our winters
almost arctic in their frgdty. These changes.
involving variation of from ninety TO one hun
dred degrees of Fahrenheit during the year, are
upon the whole conducive TO health and long life,
but they tend to entail upon some distressing
complaints which can only be escaped by the ex-
ercise of due care and the of proper antidote
when the system is pre-disposed to contract them.
The chief and most annoying of these disorders is
dyspepsia, once supposed to be incurable, but
which, since the introduction of HOSTETTER'S
STOMACH BITTERS, now about twenty years
ago, has proved to be perfectly manageable
disease.
In the Spring and Fall, but more especially in
the Fall, the symptoms of dyspepsia are generally
aggravated The prOfuse expenditure of the ami
NAL fluids under the burning sun of Summer, Is
apt TO leave the stomach weak and indOlent and
incompetent to the task Of perfect digestion. Ii
requires a tonic which will rouse it from its leth-
argy and brace and invigOrate without irritating
or infaming it. This tonic has been provided in
the wonderful vegetable preparation which has
replaced in great measure, all the old paiatives
formerly prescribed by physicians, under the false
idea that the disorder cond not he radically cured
The success of HOSTETTER'S BITTERS in all the
varieties of dyspepsia, acute chronic, has efec
tually exploded this fallacy, and it is now recon-
mended as a specific for indigestion by some of the
most eminent members of the medical profession
