FEVER AND AGUE!.!

YNH O N DIS AND TENS OF THOU
i SANDS! are now suffering under that bane Of
life fever and ague, or bilious intermittent fever -
"RowANp's IMPROVED ToMc MIXTURE" is nniver-
sally acknowledged by the disinterested, to be the
great national remedy-the only warranted, safe,
sure, and radical cure-that has failed, when
properly used to eradicate the disease, and also its
immediate causes-restoring the natural feelings
and elasticity Of the constitution in a manner that
nothing else will.
njTherefore procure at once this long-tried, old
improved tonic mixture-protected against counter
feiters by the written signature of the original in
yentor, John R. Rowand over the mouth Of every
bottle; and which may, for certainty, be obtained
genuine in Washington city, of J. F. Callan in
Alexandria, of VIM. Stabler q Brother; and in
Georgetown, of o. M Linihicum.

bushels TO the acre. This wheat is very hardy, of
