M@OUR INVISIBLE ENEMIES. =

&sHOUR INVISIBLE ENEMIES. raw, as
tringent atmosphere Of winter creates and aggra-
Yates many ailments. To protect themselves as
efectually rs possible against the invisible dam
gers which surround them at this season, should
be the especial care Of persons consttutionally
delicate. AZ there is no medicinal preparation
in use which so thoroughly braces and invigor-
ates the stomach, the liver, and the nerves Us
Hostetters Bitters, course Of that agreeable
tonic is particularly advisable for dyspeptic, bill
ious and nervous sufferers, in the cold, damp and
trying weather which generally prevails in our
climate at this period Of the year. Sudden chills
have bad effect upon dyspeptics and individ-
uals Of bilious habits, not untrequently producing
congestion Of the liver or bowels, or low tevers,
sometimes of an intermittent or remttcnt charac-
ter Attacks of rheumatism are alsoto be appre-
hended and when there is q tendency to that
complaint the Bitters will be found the best pre-
ventivc. The operation of the great vegetable
tonic is direct and simple It stimulates and
strengthens the digestive and secretive organs
and the nerves and puts the system in n condi-
ton to resist the action Of those formidable foes
Of vitality q low temperature and unwholcsome
winds and fogs BY quckening the superficial
circulation. without creating anything approach
ing to fever, it imparts tone to the skin, and thus
renders the surface of the body comparatively
imperyious to unhealthy external influences.
