Change of climate, water Br diet is apt to
induce harrassing and often danger6tfs dis
cases. Tie three changes combined are
tai to thousands of emigrants every year.
Is it not, then, of the last importance to
know that HoStetter's Stomach Bitters are
an absolute p eventive of the hurtful con.
sequences arising from these causes? Trave-
lers, vOyagers, and emIgrants to new coun-
tries cannot be too often reminded of the
fact that this agreeable vegetable tonic is
the most reliable safeguard against disorders
to winch they are far more liable than the
habitual denizens of healthy regions The
primal effect of the unwholesome atmos-
phere which produces what are called ma
larious feYers, is TO depress and bebilitate
the system. The body then becomes an
easy prey 70 the malignant principle in the
air. 1t Is manifest, therefore, that the
surest way to &feid sn epidemic and en-
cemic maladies Of an intermittent type, is
to counterfeit the weakening tendencies of
miasma by artificial inauguration. That
HOstetter's Stomach BItters is the surest
resuscitSnt of tagging vigor, Is a fact which
is best appreciated wherever influences
inimical to health exist. But alone against
malaria that they protect the system. The"
so tOuGhen II as to enable it to endure Nth
impunity extremes of heat and cold 70
which travellers are often subjected, and
they neutralize those elements in mucous
toned water or diet which would otherwise
beget sorders of the stomach and bowels.
The braekish water with which voyagers by
sea are often compelled to quench their
thirst. is apt to provoke dysentery aud
other serious complaints, but when the Bit
tiers are mixed with it, it becomes harmless.
Truly this great protective invigoraut Is an
invaluable travelling companion.
