Chills and Fever!--One of the greatest remedies that has ever been laid before tbo' public for Fevor and Ague, and - which hare rei-eired the highest enconium from the press and tbo people, is Dr. J. Hostetter’s Celebra ted Bitters. Who would endure the tortures arising from tbie terrible disease, when it can be so easily cured 7 Who would endure sleep less nights, burning fevers and ioy chills al ternately, when a remedy oan be obtained for a mere trifle ? And yet how many familiee lingorouta painful oxbtencc under this dead ly blight, and do nothing but gulp down a uinine, until it becomes as common as their ail meals, and yet they are not relieved.— None but the foolish and weak would hesitate to proonre these valuable Bitters, - and save themselves intense agony. 8old by Druggist and dealers generally overywhero. jrdr-Beo advertisement in another oolamn. raar20trilm.
