Spreads the miasnia, or poisonous vapor,
that begeis malarial and typhus fever.
Wherever there is s%tapnant water in which
vegetation or refuse of any KIND DECAYS,
there, as surely as the sun rises, are gene
rated the seeds of fever and aeue, dumb
apue and other endemic mrladies of the
malarial type. For the effects Of this en
yenomed air. Uost,tter's Stomach Bitters
furnishes an antidote, and prevents both
the contraction and recurrence OF such
naladies. Even along the line of exca-
walton for the Lesseps Panama canal,
where mnlarial diseases are not only viru
icnt but deadly, Hpsteuter's Stomach Bit
ters has demonstrated its incompatible
protective qualities. Not only for icbrile
complaints, but also for disorders of the
stomach. liver and bowels. for rheuma
tisn and inactivity of the kidneys and
bladder, il is very effective. 1t counter
acts the effects OF fatigue, damp and ex-
posture.
