SPECI.4L NOTICES.

@s~PERIODIC DISORDERS.-Ih parox-
ysmal maladies, which are characterized by
heat and cold, prevail extensively at this season
and IL is curious fact that in many parts OF the
country where they are prevalent, other diseases;
that bear no general resemblance to fever and
ague, or remttent fever, assume perl1dlctype;
Thus, in many sections infested with chlls ana
fever, rheumatism, neuralgia, hysterla, dlar-
rhma, &c, sometime become intermittent,
thereby indicating that they have been cngend-
| cred by the same poisonous cXhalatlons which
produce the first named disease.
In all these ndsEed cases Of dgnc-for such
they areas well as in the regular intermittents,
the most safe and reliable remedy that can be
administered is Hostetters Stomach Bitters.-
Neither quinine nor arsenic are needed. Both
are in the highest degree dangerous, and are
sure to leave sud traces OF their poisonous acton
| in the system, whether they arrest the paroX-
ysns or not In many instances all the so-called
specifics of the regular materia medca utterly
| fail to break up' intermittent and remittent
disorders. But he great vegetable Tonic never
fails The spasm of the minute blood-vessels
which causes The chill, is the result of nervous
weakness, produced by the facilitating opera
ton of an unwhoesomc atmosphere, and the
tone and vigor given to the nervous system by
the Bitters, enable it to throw off the diseasc.-
The wiser policy, however, is to anticipate at
tacks Of this nature, by arousing all the latent
energies Of the body ut the commencement OF
the moist and chilly season, with this incompar-
able antidote. By pursuing this course, inter-
nlttentS, rcmitrnts, rhculnat!Sn colo, bilious
ness dyspepsia and pulmonary affections may
ALWAYS be prevented NH 4-eolw

How To ENJoY LiFE.-I, is wonderful to
what an extent people believe happiness de-
ponds on no. being obliged to labor. H,nsst,
hearty, coatentsd labor is the only source of
happiness, as well as the Ouly guarantee Of
life. The gloom Of misaathropy is not only
great destroyer Of happiness We might have
but it tends to destroy life itself Il.eness
aud luxury induce premature decay much 6s-
ter than mauy trades regarded as the msot ex-
haustive and fatal to loogov.tg. Labor, in fine
instead of shortening The term eft life actually
increases it. It is the lack Of occupation that
annually destroys so many Of the wealthy
who having nothing 90 30. play the part of

Every year increases the popu-
larity of this valuable Hair Prep
aration, which is due to merit
alone. We can assure our old
patrons that it is kept fully up to
its high standard and it is the on
ly reliable and perfected prepare
ton for restoring GRAY OR FADED
HAIR to its youthful color, making
it soft, lustrous, and silken. The
scalp, by its use, becomes white and
clean. 1t removes all eruptions and
dandruff, and, by its tonic proper
ties, prevents the hair from falling
out, as it stimulates and nourishes
the hair-glands. By its use, the
hair grows thicker and stronger.
In badness, it restores the capillary
glands to their normal vigor, and
will create a new growth, except in
extreme old age. 1t is the most
economical HAIR DRESSING ever
used, as it requires fewer applica-
tons, and gives the hair splendid,
glossy appearance. A. A. Hayes,
MD, State Assayer of Massachu-
sets, says, "The constituents are
pure, and carefully selected for ex-
cellent quality; and l consider it
