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 Great Vegetable AHtidote to these invisible
enemies Of health, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters,
is invaluable as a household medicine at all sea-
sons and in every latitude. At no period of the
year is a regulating snd corrective medicine more
needed than toward the close of winter, when the
sun and rain are beginning TO break up the win
ter blockade, and from the softening soil arises
that terrible miasma, which weighs like an in
cubus upon the vital machinery, and depresses
the animal spirits 1t is then that the seeds of
intermittent and remittent feVers, of rheuma-
tism and rheumatic govt, of obstinate stomach
complaints, Of disorders Of the liver and bowels,
and a whole host Of pulmonary and nervous
complaints are sOwn.
The best, the surest way to prevent this disas-
trOus seeding is to invigorate and refresh the svs-
TEN with a course of the Bitters. If this precau-
ton be taken nolo, there will be no danger of the
miasmatic germs taking root in the fluids and
tissues of the body, and bringing forth terrible
fruit in the spring. Now is the time for preyen-
ton. Remember that vigor is the only safeguard
against the virus of disease, and that Hostetters
Bitters is the pureSt, the safest the most power
either as protective medicine or a remedy. A
change Of season approaches which almost al
WAYS proves more or less disastrous to persons of
a weak, nervous organization. Brace up at once
with the leading tonic of the age. Purge from
the blood all morbid matter, strengthen the
nerves. and regulate and purify the secretiOns
with the Vegetable Elixir, which combines the
iuices of the finest medicinal roots, herbs and
barks with the most wholesome Of all diffusve
stimuisnts. febls deod1w&Sw1t

FOREST TREES.-One of the hard things
for our prudent, thrifty people to learn is
the climatic value of forest trees. The first
thing the old settlers did was to destroy the
forests; and their descendants in most places
still value trees solely for the wood they will
yield. But the more enlightened agricul-
turalist begin to see the fatal mistake made
in robbing the hills of their natural covering,
the sources of moisture, and attractOrs of
rain. The forest are not only fertilizers,
but also the irrigators and reservoirs Of
country. In New England, and some parts
of the West, the farmers are planting trees
to restore the fersility of the soil and pre-
vent the distres ing droughts of Summer.
The history of Il Isthmus of Suez has
taught us a strik hg lesson in this respect.
A few years ago the whole region through
which NJ de Lessep's famous canal now
passes hundreds of richly laden vessels, was
a sterile desert-the rainfalls amounting
often to less than an inch during the year.
There were no trees to be seen far or near.
When the energetic Frenchman began his
gigantic enterprise, he at once directed
thousands of trees to be planted in proper
localities; they grew up, thanks to careful
irrigation, and now the astOnished eye of
the traveller beholds blooming plai
ries and stately forest where
once all was waste and wild
desert. But a still greater change has come
over the climate; rain falls now frequently
and abundantly, the soil produces richly;
and if that man is to be counted a benefac-
tor who can make blade of grass to grow
where none could be raised before, true glO-
~ belongs to him who has thus created, as
it were, fertile land, capable of maintain
ing thousands ofindustrious and happy citi-
