The Real Demon of the Marsh

!s not a spook, but a reality. It ia neither a “bogie” nor a 'kelpie,* nor any other of those spirits which the credulous have supposed to haunt the banka of rivers and streams after dusk. Its name ia malaria, and though invisible, it is very terrible and tenacious when it seizes yon. Hostetter's Stomach Bitters drives it away, nor will it attack those whose systems are fortified with the great medicinal .defensive agent. The miasmatic mists of early morning, the vapors exhaled at eventide may be safely breathed by those protected by the Bitters. In the tropics where every form of malarial disease threatens the sojourner, and is particularly virulent when developed, the Bitters is the best reliance of the Inhabitant. For dyepep-ia. liver complaint, lack of vigor, appetite and sleep: for rheumatism and nervousness the Bitters are a sure and safe remedy.
