rhe venomous Breath of malaria

Does not infect the systems of those
who use Hostetter's Stomach Bitters as a
precaution against it. Nor is it less USE
ful as a remedy where intermittent and
remittent fever has fully established itself,
IN consequence of neglect Of preventive
measures. It checks the paroxysms with
astonishing certainty, and eradicates this
type Of disease, even in its most inveterate
form. This medicine is an especial boon
to the emigrant population of the far
West, where fevers of a malarial type are
particularly prevalent, but the recognition
of its merits is so far from being limited,
that it is known and appraised at its true
value throughout the length and breadth
of America. Travellers by land and sea,
miners and sojourners il unhealthy locall-
ties. esteem it highly, and are its most
constant purchasers, and in many rural
household far and wide it is the chosen
specific.

him and beat him numerically, but he
