PILLS

OF all the remedies ever discovered for
the safe, certain and effectual cure of the
Ague and Fever. or Chills and Fever, none
have more meriled and received the aPpro~
baton Of the Public than these Pills, Up
wards OF Eighty Thousand Boxes have been
sold, in only Six States, within the last
twelve months, and over 10000 Boxes OF
these have been sold in the State of Alabama
alone. The Proprietor has never known a
single instant where these Pills have failed
10 cure the ChilIs and Fever, where they
have been used strictly according to the di'
rectiOns accompanying them. One box o.
these Pills is generally sufficient to cure two
common cases of Chills aud Fever.
