SPECIAL NOTICES.

The Price Of Health, like that Of liberty,
is eternal vigilance. The vapor-laden air OF
spring exercises depressing influence on the
vital powers. The strongest feel this deyital-
izing effect; the weak are Frustrated by IT,.
Everybody is more or less debilitated al this
season, and the feeble instinetiyely seek the
help of medicine. Unfortunately, the rene
dy" resorted to sometimes aggravates the
mischief. Raw stimulants are eminently per
nicious in such cases. and drastic catharties
about as bad. The vital principle needs sue
cor and support. and reinforcing prepara-
ton that will tone and rouse. while it regu-
Iates and purifes the system, is the medi-
cine that nature demands. All the medicinal
elements required for such emergencies are
combined in Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, the
purest and most efiicacious vegetable elixir
that the world has ever known. II is mild
stimulant, a powerful tonic, an unequalled
appetizer, an absolute specific for diseased
digestion, a wonderful nervine, moderate

periodic fevers. a cure for constipation. spe-
ciic for rheumatism Of essential use in all
ailments to which the feebler sex are subject.
and as general household medicine une-
qualled and unapproaehed. These are the
properties which have made Hostetter's Bit
tiers famous everywhere. See to it. however
that you have the true aFticle. for the land Is
infested with swarms Of local bitters, made
from condemned liquors and worthless Drugs,
