Breathing Miasma Without Injury.

There is no eXaggea alton in the statement that
thousands of persons residing from one years
end to another in lever and ague region on this
Continent and elsewhere, breathe air more or less
mpregnated with miasma, without mourning the
disease, simply and only because they are in the
habit OF using llostettei's stomach BtLers as %
preventive. II has frequently happened, and the
fact has been amply attestcd by the parties them
selves, that persons surrounded on all sides by
neighbors suffering the toutures of this shivering
and burning plague, have enjoved absolute immu-
nifty from it, thanks to the protection afforded by
the Bltters. Nor s that standard ant-lebrlle cor
dial less eificacious in remedying than preventing
chills and fever bilious remttants, and disorders
of a kindred type. Taken between the paroxysms,
II speedily mitgntes their violence, and eventually
prevents their recurl ence. These facts, Convln-
cmgly established by evidence, appeal with pecu.
liar force to travellers and sojonrDers in malarous
districts. FlOml
