the digestive u aohinery, which feeds and nour.
ishes tue whole system, in good working order,
II tho stomach Is weak or disordered neither
The blood nor the bile can be in . healthy state,
and upon the fitness Of these two important fluids
for the Offices assigned to them by nature, and
the regularity Of thoir fow, health in q great
measure depesds.
When the air is heavily laden with chilling
vapors, as It often is at this season Of tho year,
the digestion should be an object of peculiar care.
If 1t is week and languid, the whole physical
structure will be enervated. II 1t is vigorous, the
entire organization will be strong 10 resist the
nutoward and depressing influence OF damp and
vitiated atmosphere.

cially needed as safeguard against the diseases
most common in tho spring, and Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters being the most wholesome and
potent medicine Of the class at present known,
course of 1t is particularly advisable ut this pe
riod Of the year. The stomach will thereby be
toned and strengthened, the liver and bowels
regulated, the nervous system braoed up, and
nature put in stateof active defence against the
miasr,a which superinduces intermittent and
remittont fevers, rheumatism, nervous debility,
headache, hypochondria and other complaints
which apt to assail tho untoned and unforii-

without exciting the brain, and consequently
no unpleasant reaction follows ita reviving and
