States and countries pass through regular
cycles of productive industry.
The agriculturalist comes first, and uni-
versally extracts the elements of fertility
from his lands, until he fails to earn SUBJ
sistence by cultivating the ordinary staples,
such as grass and grain. Casting about for
means to replenish his impoverished purse,
he explores Jelow the surface of his barren
acres, and finds coal or mineral or the
streams, which have hitherto flowed idly to
the sea, are thrown over water-wheels, and
set spindles by the thousand humming the
busy song of the loom. A new element OF
exchange is thus furnished, the return o.
which creates q demand for farm produce
which before was Improbable, if not
valueless.
Then recuperation of land is rapid, be-
cause it pays to raise large and Jared
crops the means are at hand to improve
worn out lands, and labor is so much
enhanced in price, that there is more profit
in the work of one pair Of hands, with lib
eral fertilizing, on five acres, than there
was under the old system on that Of three
pair of hands on fifty acres.

eIniiuence of Temperance on Health.

In the fall the difference between the temperature
of night and day is greater than at any other time OF
the year In the early autumn the quicksilver some
times rises high during the day as in the most
fervid weather while at night often sinks
to an almost wntry point. The human body, not
being made of steel or India rubber, sensiby feels
those tremendous changes. To fortiy the system
against them a genuine tonic is required; and the
public has long since discovered that among this de-
scription of medicine Hostetters Stomach Bitters is
infinitely the best. 1t gently quickens the crcula-
ton regulates the bowels. tones the liver braces the
nerves, and thus puts the whole physique its de-
Tense against the vcisstudes of temperature in
climate Few. if any, cases Of epidemic fever are
heard Of in localities where il is in common As
it becomes more and more widely known, and the
demand for ii increases ehlls and fever and the bill
ous remittent to recede before it, and II it
should into universal use these diseases would
cease to be known the of lowying and
marshy districts. That homely bit of proverba phil
osophy that prevention is better than cure should
be specially borne in mind in the autumn months
and indeed in all seasons gether with the fact that
among all the preventives of maarious disease Hos
letters stomach Btters is the most safe and potent.
BE certain, however, to obtain the genuine article,
as countless limitations of pernicious character are
abroad See that the externals all right, and re-
member that Hostetter's Stomach Bttsrs is sold in
bottles only.
