Every thoughtful citizen appreciates tho value of these establishments for the amelioration of en?Tcring. But tboy do not cover tho whole ground; indeed, it is impossible, in the nature of things, that the amount of good they do should bo at all in pro? portion to the popular need. They arc confined, principally, to largo cities. To the sick man in thc remote West, for example, of what UBO is tho New York City Hospital, or thu Now York Dispen? san? But., abhough asylums for invalids aro not to be found everywhere, an unequalled tonic and alterativo is within tho reach ot all.

At tins period of tho year, win n tho "slant sun of February" is beginning to evoke unwholesome vapors from tho earth, and tho "fever aud aguo i season" is close at baud, this excellent vegetable j preparation should bc taken as a fortifier of tho system. All complaints proceeding from indiges? tion are rampant when tho winter breaks up tn a "ground thaw;" simply becauso no sensible pre? cautions are, as a rule, taken to prevent them. Forestall tho evils that lie perrin in many a marsh, and swamp, and pool, ready to pounce upon the neglectful as soon as the sun shall have liberated tho spriug miasma from tho reeking soil.

Dyspepsia is always aggravated hy tho damps of early Birring, ami Sbakspeare tells us that "the sun, in March, doth nourish agnes."
