Feb 3 3mo THE SKEWS OK SICKNESS.-Baron Mun? chausen tells a story of a post-boy's horn, which had a number of wicked tunes blown into it one frosty night, but made no response. Neverthe? less, when it was hung before a hot tire, tho tunes, which had been frozen in, thawed out, to the amazomeut of all prcaeut. Just so the human system, subjected to injurious influences during thu winter, sometimes give no token of tho effect they have produced upon it, until the moist at? mosphere of spring devolopcs their fruits. Many spring diseases are the result o( winter impru? dences, and great and especial caro should be taken of tho system in tho cold season, so that it may be in a sound and vigorous condition when thu malarious fogs of March and April make their appearance. To this end, strengthen tho stomach and thc general organization at thia season with HOSTETTER'S BITTERS. Tako this pleasant vegetable autidote in advance of thc uprising of] the mophitic mists and vapors, which produce chills and fever, and other miasmatic diseases. Remember that it is a preventive medicine powerful to protect as to restore. The stomach is apt to bc overtaxed at this time of thc year. It is a period devoted to dinner and supper parties, and luxurious living generally. Feasting and late hours weaken the digestive organs and disorder thc liver. Tho effect of tho Bitters is to invigorate the ono and regulate thc other. There is no month in the twelve when a tonic and alterative is more generally needed than in this, and there is no preparation of that nature so thoroughly salu? brious, so bracing, and so entirely free from undue exciting properties, UM this celebrated vegetable cordial.
