how many more become chronic, sources Of pain
and misery for long years, ali for tho lack Of

seasonable suggesIlons.

The heavy mistS and cold night dewS
which characterize the present season are
very trying to delicate organizations, and
In low'lying and swampy localities they
produce an enormous crop OF intermittent
tevers OF various types and degrees Of In
tenslIy. At this very time there are prob
ably half million of people In the United
States suffering from periodical fevers by
miasmatlc fOss and exhalatious. What
makes the prevalence Of this evil the more
deplorable Is the TACT that 1t might In all
cases be easily prevented. MALARIA and
damp produce little or no effect upon the
System pre.fortifled bya course Of Hos
letters Stomach Bitters. Every fall and
spring hundred Of letters ore received from
persons residing In fever and ague districts
who state that while their neishbors are
incapacltated Tor labor by that rdehilita-
ting disease, they have been happily ex-
empted from attack by the regular use Of
tue great vegetable Gntidote 10 miasma.
AS a chlologopic or specific for intermit-
tent and remittent fevers the Bitters may
be justly accounted iniallible. They err
adtcate the complaints in their most OBJ
stinate forums; but the wiser course Is TO
iorcstall attack by taking the preparation
as a preventive. The amount OF produc.
tive labor withdrawn from active service
during several months in the year by NAL.
rlous maladies Is immense, and the pc
cuniary losses TO individuals, families, and
the nation from this cause Is incalculable.
Bear in mind that by toning and regula-
ling the system with Hostelter's Bitters
before the calamity comes. it may always
be escaped; and Jet il also be remembered
that indigestion, general debility, bilious
ness, constipation, nervous complaints,
and indeed almost all disturbances and
arrangements OF the physical system are
comfortable by this genial restorative.
