Let the public bear in mind that Scarlet
Fever, and other complaints incident to sud-
dep changes OF the weather, are peculiarly
prevalent at this season of the year. Thous-
apds OF children, and many persons of Mature
age, are dying weekly because they overlook
the only medicine which is infallible in dis
eases OF that kind. That medicine is Chicken
er's Sugar-Coated Vegetable Purgative fills,
which have been successful in cases Of the
greatest obstinaey. and where all other RENE
dies had proved unavailing. Physicians of
the highest eminence have prescribed them in
their practice, and they have been highly rec
: commended by a committee of the American
Institute, appointed TO investigate their mer-
