The prevalence of malarial disorders being
dependent upon vitiated conditions of atmos-
phere and water is, in certain regions. of
course, inevitable. The grand question, there
fore, presents itself to every resident of a
fever stricken locality is, "What means shall
adopt to escape the dreaded scourge?" For
third of century Hostetter's Stomach Bit
tiers has been the embodied answer to this
question. In thickly populated. and spasely
settled districts alike, in town and in coun-
try, 1T has afforded constant protection against
mslarial infection to those who have used it.
1t eradicates and prevents. with equal GER
tainty, fever and ague, bilious remittent, dumb
ague and ague cake, and nullifes also the
pernicious after effects of using persistently
the hurtful slksloid sulphate of quinine. 1t
