Breathing MIasma without Injury

There is no exaggeration in the statement
that thousands OF persons residing from one
years end to another in fever and ague re-
gions on this Continent and elsewhere breath
air more or less impregnant with miasma,
without incuring the disease. simply and
only because they are in the habit of using
Hostetters Stomach Bitters as preventative
1t has frequently happened, and the fact has
been amply attested by the parties them
selves that persons surrounded on all side
by neghbors suffering the turtures of this
shivering and bun ming plague, have enjoyed
absolute immunity from it, thanks to the pro
lection afforded by the Bitters. Nor is that
standard anti-tebrIe cOrdia. less etiicacious
in remedying than in preventing chills and
fever. bilious remi ttants. and disorders of a
kindred type. Taken between the proxysms.
it speedy mitigates their violence, and even
tually prevents their recurrence. These facts
cOnviucingly established by evidence, appeal
with peculiar force to travellers and sojourn-
crs in malarous districts.
