Special .VST1CES.

G+'ALL THE YEAR ROUND and in all
parts of the world, the elements of disease. are
present in the air, the soil and the water, IN a
greater or less degree, and therefore the GTedt
Vegetable 1ntidote to these invisible enemies OF
health, Hostctters Stomach Bitters, is invalIn,
BILE as household medicine ut all seasons and
in every latitude. At no period of the year IS
regulating and corrective medicine more needed
than toward the close Of winter, when the sun
and RAIN are beginning to break up the winter
blockade, and from the softening soll arises that
terrible masma which weighs like an incubus
upon the vital machinery, and depresses the an
mal spirits. 1t is then that the seeds OF inter,
mittent and renittent fevcrs, of rheumatism and
rheumatic govt 0: obstinate stomach complaints,
Of disorders of the liver and bowels and Il whole
host of pulmonary and nervous complaints are
sown.
The best, the su-est way to prevent this disas-
trous seeding is to invigorate and refresh the
system with u course of the Bittcrs. If this pre-
caution be taken noU, there will be no danger OF
the miasmatic germs taking root in the fluids
and tissues OF the body, and bringing forth ter
rible fruit in the spring. Now is the time for
prevention. Remember that vigor Is the only
safeguard against the virus Of disease, and that
Hostetttrs Bitters is the purcst, the safest, the
most powerful and perfect invigorant ever adj
mnistered, either us protective medicine or Il
remedy. y change of season approaches which
almost always proves more or less disastrous TO
persons Of a weak nervous organization. Brace
up ut once with the leading Tonic Of the age

All the leading morning journals of the city have
articles on the Alabama claims, criticising the
American case with great severity, and urging the

that end have been opened between England and
America, and the British representations are not
received IN a friendly manner.
The Obsrrer to-day states that the British Gov.
