Fever and Ague and Congestive Fever
began to spread extensively among the
reople. There being no other Doctor in
the place, l could not attend to half the

were compelled to make trial of your Pills

Their speedy cure Of all cases was so
astonishing, and so much extoled by ev.

trial of them in my practice-and the rot
suit has been to convince me, much againss
my rejuaices, that they possess a SPE-
.ClFIC CONTROL over Fever and Ague
and other DillIous diseases, not known te
any other medicine belonging to the ms
terra medica.
So convinced am of their great viis

suffering humanity, TO make public the
recipe from which they are made--or at
least, to furnish your pill n,ass to physics
ians in small jars. to be used in their
practice. Your Anti bilious Pills are Ger

Tonic Pins the place of Quinine, very
soon in the Agues and Fevers of the South
