ET A SUGGESTION TO THE TRAVELLING
PUBLIC Tourists, emigrants and mariners find
that Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is medicinal
safeguard against unheslthful influences, upon
which they can implicitly rely, since it prevents
the effect tina! al unhealthy climate, vitiated
atmosphere. unaccustomed or unwholesome
diet, bad water or other conditions unfayorsbIe
to health would otherwise produce. On long
voyages, or journeys by land in ATTITUDES ada
cent to the equator, it is especially useful as q
preventive Of tho febrile complaints and dsor-
ders of the stomach. liver and bowels, which are
apt to attack natives of the temperate zones
sojourning or travelling in such regions and ii is
an excellent protection against the influence of
extreme cold, sudden changes of temperature,
exposure to damp or extreme fatigue. 1t
not only prevents intermittent and romttent fe.
yer, and other diseases Of mslarial type but
cradicates them, fact which has been notorious
for years past in North and South America,
