SPECIAL NOTICES.

An nsalubrious Season.--Spring is well
come, but not its diseases. We should be glad
to have its bloom without its fogs, its vapors.
lis sudden changes of temperature, and the
arues, fits Of indigestion. bilious attacks. and
other harrassing disorders which they eHgen-
der. As this cannot be. it behooyes all sensi-
bic people TO do the best they can TO escape
such serious drawbacks on the poetry Of the
season. Ask any physician what the weak
and delicate ought to do when miasma infects
the air. The answer will be. tone and regu-
late the system" But how? That is the
important question. A dozen medical men
would probably recommend as many different
medicines. On the other hand, the thousands
who have tested the virtues Of HOstetter's
Stomach Bitters. as an invigorant and altera-
tive, will recommend but one. the wholesome
preventive and restorative in which their own
experience has taught them to trust. course
Of this rare vegetable stimulant. commenced
now, would save many a pang to the feeble
and debilitated. 1t would be wise economy.
too, for ii would probably preclude the neces-
sity for medical advice. Without disparage-
ment to a profession which all intelligent men
and women respect and honor. it is just as
we'll, if possible. to keep out of the doctors
hands, and they would have comparatively
few cases Of fever and sgue. dyspepsia. bilious
ness, nervousness. and general debility to
attend to. if this agreeable and healthful spe-
cifc were in universal use. leod-dkw-o
