THE planters in this region are more than
usually busy, in preparing for the forthcoming

sales being far greater up to this time than any
previous season.

Breathing miasma without Injury.

There is no exaggsration in the statement
that thousands Of persons residing from one
years end TO another in ever and ague regions
on this Continent and elsewhere, breathe air
more or less impregnated with miasma, without
mourning the disease, simply and only because
they are in the habit of using Hostetter's Stom-
aeh Btters as preventive. 1t has frequently
happened, and the fact has been amply attested
by the parties themselves, that persons sur.
rounded on all sides by neighbors suffering the
TEXTURES of this shivering and burning plague.
have enjoyed absolute immunity from it, thanks
to the protection afforded by the Bitters Nor

cious in remedying than in preventing chills
and fever, bilious remittents and disorders OF
kindred type. Taken bstwesn the parox-
ysms, it speedily mitigates their violence, and
eventually prevents their recurrence. These
facts, convincingly established by evidence, ap-
peal with peculiar force to travellers and So
iourners in malarious districts.
