SPECIAL NOTICES. |A .1H8EUABLE SIl.VK??U IS THF, Victim to Fever anil Agnc. This toolona and enervating disease is, unfortunately, too well known to need ?. description, lt is strictly a malarious disease, caused by exhalations from thc soil, especially from marshes, swamps and newly cleared lands encumbered with decomposing vcgetablo matter. The chiils is our of the most troublesome of maladies, as thc patient, though ho may not bo confined to his bed, j is incapable of action. The experience of years has demonstrated tho fact that HOSTETTER'S STOMACH BITTERS is a sure means of fortifying tho system against all atmospheric poison, breaking up tho paroxysms and rapidly restoring the strength. Quinine, which has so long been tho great remedy for chills, has been 8upercedod by this powerful and harmless agent; whilo as a preventivo it is un? equalled, as its use will certainly exempt all who may live iu unhealthy localities, from tho ravages of this disease. Hostetter's Stomach Bittors is now among tho most popular, and, at tho same time, valuable specifics in thc medical world. In recommending it to tho public, wo are fully conscious of doing them a great servico, knowing, as wo do, their many excellent qualities, and sure and speedy action in all cases where tho dis? ease is caused by irregularity of thc diges- ! tivo organs. As a tonic it is both mild and r.grceable to tho taste, and stimulating in its action upon the system. Oct 1G fl? "MANHOOD."-Another New Medical Pamphlet from the pen of Dr. Curtis.
