PAN1oN. N.-Change of climate, water or
diet IL apt to induce harrassing aud
often dangerous diseases. The three
changes combined are fatal to thou
sands of emigrants every year. Is it
not. then. of the last importance to
know that Hostetter's Stomach Bitters
are an absolute preventive Of the hurt
ful consequences arising from these
causes? Travellers, voyagers, and en-
igrants to new countries cannot be too
often reminded of the faot. TINT this
agreeable vegetable tonic is the most
reliable safe guard against disorders to
which they ore far more liable than the
habitual denizens of healthy regions.

That Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is
thel surest resuscitant of tagging

malaria that they protect the system.
They 80 tonghen it as to enable it to
endure with impunity extremes of heat
and cold to which travellers are often

elements in unaocustomed water or

The brackish wafer with which voy-
ayers by sea ure often compelled to
quench their thirst, is apt to provoke
dysentery and other serious com.
plants, but when the Bitters are
mixed with it, it becomes harmless.
Truly. this great protective invigorant
is an invaluable travelling companion.
