The good housewife, when she is giving
her house its spring renovating, should
bear in mind that the dear little inmates
of her house are more precious than many
houses, and that their systems need
cleansing by purifying the blood, regulat-
ing the stomach and bowels to prevent and
cure the diseases arising from spring malaria
and miasma, and she must know that there
is nothing that will do it so perfectly and
surely as Hop Bitters, the purest and best
of medicines. See other column
