SPECIAL NOTICE.

Infection in the Air.-At this season the
vegetable world takes a new lease oflifej but
20 the sensitive and dsncate member OF the
human family It is a time OF danger inc often
OF great suffering. The moisture which rises
from the earth and hangs suspended over ii
in the form of morning and evening mists and
fogs, holds in solution, so % speak, the me
phitie elements which produce fever and
ague, remittent fevers, rheumatism IND many
painful nervous disturbances, and which ag-
gravate dyspepsia, bihoasness and an minor
affections of the stomach and the bowels
This, therefore, is a critical period of the year,
a season when the r~enovating, refreshing and
purifying operation Of the mighfiest of all
vegetable tonics and Alternatives, Hostetters
Stomach Bitters, is salvation 10 the weak, and
the best security for the continuance Of the
health and vigor Of the strong. Now is the
time not only TO protect the system against
the common ailments of the season, but TO
prevent the disorders Incident TO a warmer
temperature. Let not the exhausting heats Of
the summer months Ind you unprepared to
meet them. A course of Hostetter's Bitters,
commenced now, will put all the physical en-
orgies in fighting trim, double the capacity OF
the internal organs to repel the causes Of dis
ease, refresh the brain and clear il of all hypo-
chondriacal cobwebs, and place the whole
physique in an attitude Of defense, with every
available point fortified and guarded and as
nearly invulnerable to unwholesOme infiu-
ences as it is possible for the human structure
TO he.
