THE INCLEMENT SEASON, AND ITS EFFECTS ON Tn s WEAK AND FEEBLE.- The drafts which searching cold makes upon tho vital powers of tho debilitated and delicate aro not less severe than tho drain upon their strength; canoed by ex COSS?YO heat. Tho vast disparity between thc temp?rature of over-heated rooms and offices, at this season, and tho frigidity of tho outer air, is a fruitful Bourco of sickness. To fortify tho body against tho evil cons?quences of tho sudden alter? nations of heat and cold referred to, tho vital organization should be strengthened and endowed with extra resistant power, by tho uso of a whole sumo iuvigorant: and, of all preparations for this purpose, (whether embracod in tho regular phar? macopoeia, or advertised in tito publio journals,) there is nono that will comparo in purity and ex? cellence with HOSTETTER'S STOMACH BIT? TERS. Acting directly upon tho organ which converts the food into tho fuel of life, tho prepa? ration imparts to it a tono and vigor which is communicated to every libro of tho frame. Tho digestive function being accelerated by its tonic operation, the liver regulated by its anti-bilious properties, and tho waste matter of tho system carried off punctually by its mild apoiient action, tho whole organization will necessarily bo in tho best possible condition to met t tho shocks of win? ter and tho sudden changes of temperature. Tho weak and sensitive, especially, cannot encounter these vicissitudes with safety, unless their tender systems are strengthened and braced by artilicial means. Every liquor sold as a st apio of trade is adulterated, atid, wero it otherwise, mero alcohol is simply a temporary excitant, which, when its first effects have subsided, leaves tho physical powers (and tho mind as well,) in a worso condi? tion than before. HOSTETTER'S BITTERS, on the other band, contain tho essential properties of (ho most valuable tonic and alterativo roots, barks and herbs, and their active principal is thc mellowest, least exciting, and most innocuoue of all diffusive stimulants.
