MALARIAL DISEASES.
How to Avoid Them and the &c., rious Consequences of Neg Iect.

Fix me up something to knock the malaria, doctor" remarked a sallow- faced, sickly looking man, entering a prominent physician s office the other day.
 The doctor stepped to his medicine Case, took down a couple of bottles, mixed preparation which he handed to the patient with the customary advice to shake well and follow directions and resumed his seat.
 "Such cases are frequent, " replied the doctor in answer to a question. "'The warm days and damp, chilly nights are certain malaria breeders and are most serious in those who have neglected to keep their stomach, liver and bowels in good condition. Such persons are full ot the impurities on which the malarial germ thrives, and 1t is from this class that typhoid fever, pneumonia, Bright Disease, small pox and yellow fever claim most of their victims whenever these dis. eases are prevalent.
 The proper way to guard against the malarial germ and the serious diseases which follow it is to get into good condi- ton by taking reliable remedy that will keep the bowels clear and the liver healthy, and to continue with it at ire qrent intervals during the siekly season.
 A dose of Prickly Ash Bitters three or four times week will do all of this, be- sides stimulating the digestion, improv- ing the appetite and keeping the bodily energy at the highest pitch.
 Prickly Ash Bitters is known every where as system tonic and bowel regu- lator. It not only removes all traces of malarial poison from the system, but tones up the vital organs, gives new strength and vigor, makes the body strong and the brain active.
 "Prickly Ash Bitters is the best sli-aroupd m edicine for the family ever used. During the past ten years have always kept II Tn nv house Wher ever any Of my family show signs of n ala . ria, kidney trouble. indigestion CT const ipation few doses is all that IS needed to make hem well and hearty agaiu.-W.
