Is 50 common in the country as scarcely
to need comment. The causes which
produce il are such as cold, irregular
living, over exertion, low spirits, night
air, exposure to miasmatic exhalations,
sc. In large cities where edge tools
and agricultural implements are manu-
featured, the grinder protects his lungs
from the injurious effects of the dust
flying of the grindstone by wearing a
respirator. The coal miner ere he de-
sends the shaft provides himself with a
safety lamp TO guard against hre.damp.
Now 1t Is equally necessary for those
who are brought in contact with any of
the causes leading to intermittent fever,
to provide themselves with that well
known and highly esteemed remedy
against it, the home stomach bitters.
