Special NOTICES.

w-AvoID THE PER1Ls OF THE SEASON.
Autumn, although the most radiant portion OF
the American year, has its drawbacks. The
heavy evening dews and morning vapors and
the great disparity in temperature between the
night and day, give rise to many painful dis
turbances of the bowels, such collie, cholera
morbus. diarrhGa and dysentery. The ,dlges-
tive organs are also unfavorably affected by the
change of season, and dyspeptics generally suffer
most severely during the fall. arrangements of
the liver are likewise common, and mlasmatc
fevers prevail in newly-settled districts and low
lying and marshy localities. These unpleasant
contingencies of the season are not however un-
avoidable BY strengthening, toning and regu-
tiers even the most delicate may escape them. At
the expiration of summer all the bodily powers
are in somewhat exhausted state. They re-
quire the wholesome stimulation which this
genial vegetable nvigorant supplies. Under its
renovating influence the nervous energy which
the willing heat of July and August had kept in
allegiance or partially ext:ngushed,. crops out
afresh the haccid muscles recover their elast-
city; the appetite takes sharper edge; the pro-
cesses of digestion and assimilation become more
rapid and perfect the spirits RISE and the whole
organization acquires its maximum OF activity
and resi- slant power. Even persons of com para,
lively fet Bile constitutions, when thus fortified
against the perils Of the season, will have little
cause to fear visitation from any of the disor-
ders to which we have referred AS protec-
engendered by malaria Hostetter's Bitters may
be justly pronounced not only unrivalled but
unapproached Look well to the label and
