SPECIAL NOTICES. IT IS AMAZING-That tho feeble should totter, with uncertain stops, over tho face of the earth, in danger every day of falling victims to tho morbid influences by which wo arc all surrounded, when a tested and proven vegetable tonic, capable of endowing them with tho vigor they need, is procurable in every city, town and settlement. It might reasonably be j thought that after the twelve yoars expe? rience which tho world has had of HOS TKTTER'S HITTERS, all would know that its effect is to prevent disease. At this season tho atmosphere is sur? charged with the aeeds of intermittents, remitteuts, rheumatism, pulmonary dis? orders, bilious complaints and the like. Persons whose nervous ayah ms arc re? laxed aro tho lirnt to succumb to these distempers. Braco up the physical cm r gies then with this potential vegetable tonie. It is the most powerful r?cup?rant which tho botanic kingdom his ever yielded to patient research und experi? ment. Try it. Tho blindest disciple of the old medical dogmas will at least admit that a tonic and alterative, compounded of approved herbs, roots und barks, can do no barm, while the testimony of thou? sands invites a trial of its virtues. Vigor is the thing most needed in 'hose c?sea as well as in dyspepsia and nervous atlee!ions, and Hoatotter'a Hitters is tho safest, "surest and most wholesome strengthening' preparation that human skill has yet concocted. Hundreds ol' physicians have abandoned all tho cfiioinai receipts and proscribed this harmless Ionic as ii preventive and cure for all cases of chilla and fever.
