ADULTERATION !
LAGER BEER, containing copperas, and Ale
doctored with salt, limo and alum, aro among
the latest adulterations discovered in New York.
I was astonished that brewers in New York and
other cities could afford to sell Ale and Beer for
lossmonoy than the materials cost mo to mako a
pure, unadulterated barrel of Beor. This mys?
tery has been solved; the abovo poisonous ingre?
dients are not costly; but persons in tho prime of
life, possessing strong constitutions, will soon
find their health fast declining, and it may be,
fill premature graves, if they persist in using the
poisonous compounds named. I shall continue to
make, not r lin - destroying, but a healthful beve?
rage, so that it may be drank by the most dellcato
without tl o leant danger.

THE INCLEMENT SEASON, AND ITS
EFFECTS ON mr WEAK ?vn Ervm v._The drafts
which searching cold makes upon the vital powers
of the debilitated and delicate are not less severe
than the drain upon their strength; caused by ex?
cessive heat. Tho vast disparity between thc
temperature of ovcr-heatcd rooms and ofllces, at
thissoason, and tho frigidity of thc outer air, isa
fruitful source of sickness. To fortify tho body
against the evil consequences ol'thc sudden alter?
nations of heat and cold referred to, tho vital
organization should bc strengthened and eudowed
with extra resistant power, by tho u?c of a whole?
some invigorant: and, of all preparations for this
purpose, (whether embraced in thc regular phar?
macopeia, or advertised in the public 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 tho iood into the fuel of life, tho prepa?
ration imparts to it a tone and vigor which is
communicated to every fibro of the frame. The
digestivo function being accelerated by its tonic
operation, tho livor regulated by its anti-bilious
properties, and tho waste matter of tho system
carried off punctually by ita mild aperient action,
the whole organization will necessarily be in tho
beat possible condition to meet tho shocks of win?
ter and the suddon changes of temperature. Tho
weak and sensitive, especially, cannot encounter
these vicissitudes with safety, unless ihoir tender
systems aro strengthened and braced by artiticial
means. Every liquor sold as a staple of trade is
adulterated, and, were it otherwise, mere alcohol
is simply a temporary excitant, which, when its
tirst effects have subsided, leaves the physical
powers (and the mind as v. c'.l,) is i ^crso condi?
tion than before. HOSTETTER'S BITTERS, on
tho other hand, contain tho essential properties
of tho most valuable tonic and alterativo roots,
barks and herbs, and their activo principal is tho
mellowest, least exciting, and most innocuous
of all diffusive stimulants. Eeb 17 t G
