MALARIAL DISEASES.
How to Avoid Them and the Se- rious Consequences of Neg IGCt.

"Fix me up something to knoc1, the malaria, doctor" " remarked a sallo0 faced. sick1y looking man, entering prominent physicians office the other day.
 The doctor stepped to his medicine case, took down a couple of bottles, mixed 1 a 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 fu1l of the impurities on which the malarial germ thrives, and 1t is from this class that typhoid fever, pneumonia, Briaht's Disease, small pox and yellow fever claim most ef their victims whenever these dis eases are prevalent.
 The proper way to guard against the malafiai 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 1t at ire quent intervals during the sickly season.
 A dose of Priek1y Ash Bitters three or four times a week will do all of this, he sides stimulating the digestion, inprov- ing the appetite and keeping the bodily energy at the highest pitch.
 PrIckly Ash Bittefs is known every where as a system tonic and bowelre 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 all-arouud medicine for the family ever used. During the past ten years l have always keptitin my house ria kidney trouble, indigestion or constipation B few doses is all that is needed to make them vel and hearty agaiu.-W. Ii. McWILLIaMsr Pickering La.
