m.s- ATMOSPHERIC DISEASES The air, with
out which no creature could live, is the source
Of diseases of which millions die. At this >ca-
son, especially, the atmosphere is full of the
germs of many kinds of sickness. Every glo-
bule OF the mist and fog which clond the earth
and sky in spring holds in solution It's portion Of
mlssmatlc poison.
The evil effects of this aerial virus can only be
certainly avcrtcd by increasing the vital activi-
ty of the system and securing the full and free
exercise OF all its natural functions, and hence it
is, that Hostctter's Stomach Bitters, the great
nerve strcngthenrr, regulator and antdOtc 10
malaria, is lmperutively required in the spring
m >nths.
1t is ut this time, too, that Dyspepsia assumes
its most distressing types and that persons Of
bilious habit usually suffer most. There il an
influence in the al which dcprrsses the spirits
AS we'll us the physical energies, and in order to
restore their elasticity tonic treatment is abSo-
lutely necessary.
All the world knows that the wonderful eff
cacy OF Hostctter's Bttcrs in of indigcs-
ton. bliousncss, nervous prostratiun and maia-
rous fever is due to the potency Of It's tonic III
trrative and aprrient materials and the ah-o-
luteIy pure stimulant with which they are III
rorpuratrd.
Ii is because the public have been taught hy
twenty years experience that the article can t"
implicitly trusted -inasmuch rs it performs uni-
formly and certainly all that it is advertised to
do--that they prefer this sovereign tonic t" eve
ry other. Hence It's immense and cvcr-incrcas-
ing sales. md hence too, alas the many coun-
terieitS and limitations, against which there is no
safeguard except the close scrutinr of the pur-
