the yellow fever has made its appearance at
Barnes Hotel. The first case proved fatal.
though the disease was not known az yellow
fever. Then lady. Mrs. Rowland, was taken
sick, and when her case was made known
there was stampede from the hotel Of all the
servants though the guests took the matter
Dr.. Smith, we'll known physician Of the
place, pronounces the fever as one Of very mild
nature. which yields readily to good reatment
and careful nursing. The disease iis confined
to those inhabiting the two wings Of the hotel;
and I'D to now there have been eight cases and
two deaths. At Pass Christian. some cases have
been noted in the old village, that is in the res
licences grouped around the Catholic church
Miss Malone, died there lately, through her own
fault. She was taken sick. and waited too long
before calling the doctor and died ere medical
aid reached her. At Bay st. Louis the yellow
fever Is still active, and at Biloxi there have
been forty cases and twelve deaths. 1n Hands,

whenever and Wherever

Diseases of a eholeraic type prevail, or
there is cause to apprehend q visit from
them, the system should be toned, regulated
and reinforced by a course of Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters. Perfect digestion and u
regular habit of body are the best safeguards
against such maladies, and both secured by
this inestimable tonic and Alternative. The
Bitters are also extremely servieeable in
remedying such disorders. If promptly
taken in bilious collie, diarrhea and cholera
morbus. the disease is usually frustrated.
In diarrhea eases, it is only necessary to
restore the tone of the relaxed bowels, and
this is one of the specific effects of this nedi-
cine. Wind on the stomach, heartburn,
bilieusness, nausea, headache and other
symptoms of distur bance in the gastric aad
hepatic regions are also speedily relieved by
this excellent remedy. As family medi-
cine it is invaluable, since it promptly and
completely remedies those ailments which
are of most frequent occurrence.
