natural Decay Protect the system.

The human body isa machine, and there
fore cannot endure forever; but, like O
watch or a sewing machine, it will last
much longer if properly regulated and
duly repaired, than II no pains were taken
to Keep it in order. The great object of
every one who desires long and healthy
life should be to put his body in q condi-
ton to resist the life threatening intiu-
ences by which we are all more or less
surrounded; and no invigorant and cor
rectiye at present known SO effectively an
swers this purpose as the yitalizing elixir
which, under the unpretending name of
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, has been for
more than twenty years the standard ton
ic of America. In crowded cities, where
the atmosphere is contaminated with the
effluvia inSeparable from large popula.
tions; in marshy regions, where the soggy
soil reeks with nAiasma: on the prairies
and in the forests, where every fall the
air is tainted with exhalati0ns from rot
ting weeds and grasses, or decomposing
leaves-i short, in every locality where
malaria exists, this powerful vegetable
antidote is urgently needed. Fever and
ague, bilious fcvers, dysentery, congestion
OF the liver, jaundice, rheumatism, and all
diseases which are generated by infected
air, impure water, or sudden changes of
temperature, may be averted by strength
ening and regulating the system in ad-
vance with HOstetter's Bitters. Autumn
is always season OF peril, especially to
weak, susceptible organizations, Even
the more vigorous are apt to be in some
measure depressed by the humid atmos-
phere, loaded with deleterious gases pro-
duced by vegetable decay. The fall is
period of the year when the renovation
and regulation of the living machine is
peculiarly important, and the Bitters
should therefore be taken daily at this
critical season. oct
