I will endo your military career for a military appol ment with, pleasure, when there is a vaoan but nothing moro. Special Noticee. A MALARIOUS MONTH-March, ?hat gives us a now President, is also tho inaugural mouth of many harrassing disorders. Entangled in its fogs aro the seeds of coughs, colds, and of that alternation of frigidity and fire, moro widely known than admired, called fever and ague. Tho only way to avoid these "little unpleasantnesses," is to render thc system strong enough to fight off the atmospheric poison that produces them, and tho host way to endow it with this repelle nt power is to tone it with HOSTE ["TEH'S STOMACH RIT? TERS. If a w.iy-faror woro credibly informed that a ruf? fian was waiting at the next corner, he would donbtless turn in bis tracks, and tukea safer route to his destination. With just about tho same amount of trouble, the attacks of diseases preva? lent at this season may bc evaded. Nay, tho trou? ble will bo lees, for drug stores ho in every one's routo, and every respectable druggist in thc Union keeps on hand HOSTETTER'S RITTERS. Tho article is a staple of trade, aud it would bo as easy to lind a grocery without sugar, as tho store of an apothecary without this popular tonic re? medy. lu view of Hie exp?rience of the nation with regard to tho article, during the space of twenty years, it seems almost unnecessary tc recapit?? lalo its merits to Americans. Rut as nur popula? tion is increasing at tho rate of 2,000,OOO a year, in the natural way and by immigration, it may bc as well to hint to the rising generation and new arrivals, (tho old settlers know all about it,) that HOSTE TTE R'S STOMACH BITTERS is tho most wholesome and potent vegetable tonic ever manu? factured; that it is a specific for debility, dyspep? sia, biliousness, and miasmatic fevers; that it prevents, as well as cures, these complaints and their complications; that it is not "bad to take," anil is absolutely harmless.
