Spooin.I Notices. FKESCUIRING FOU THiC PEOPLE.-We have dispensaries, ! aspirais, noble instit ut inns ol all kiuds, for tho relief of human ills. Every thoughtful citizen appreciates the value of thoso establishments for tho amelioration of suffering. But they do not cover tho wholo Rround; indood, it is impossible, in the nature of things, that tho amount of good they do should bo at all in pro? portion to the popular need. They aro confined, principally, to large cities. To tho sick man in tho remoto West, for example, of what nse is tho New York City Hospital, or the New York Dispen? sary? But, ?Ithough asylums for invalids aro not to be found everywhere, an unequalled tonic and alterative is within the reach of all. Thero is no settlement that bears a name, within tho limits of the United States, where HOSTETTER'S STOMACH BITTERS is not procurable. It is a medicine for the whole community, nasily obtain? able by all its members. At this period of tho year, when the "slant sun of February" is beginning to evoke unwholesome vapors from tho earth, and tho "lover and ague season" is close at hand, this excellent vegetable preparation should be taken as a fortifier of the system. All complaints proceeding from indiges? tion are rampant when tho winter breaks up in a "ground thaw;" simply becauso no sensible pre? cautions are, as a nile, taken to prevent them. Forestall the evils that lie perdu in many a marsh, and swamp, and pool, ready to pounce upon the neglectful as soon as tho sun shall have liberated tho spring miasma from tho reeking soil. Escape billions attacks, colic and all mala? rious endemics and epidemics, by strengthening and regulating the digestive, secreti.o and dis? charging organs with the most efficacious and balsamic of all vegetable irivigorants. Dyspepsia is always aggravated hy the damps of early spring, and Sbakspeare tolls us that ''tho sun, in March, doth nourish agues." Against both these complaints H os tetter's Stomach Ritters are tho best possible protection. Jan 111 ti?
