VEGETABLE FEVER AND AGuE POWDERS:
The only sure remedy ever known for
ChiHs and Fever, and warranted
to cure in all cases If taken
according TO directions.
Ii cures, when taken according TO Gi.
reciions, in tWeaty minutes, leaving no
Fever alter the Chill, very seldom re-
curing more than One Dose TO make
PERMANENT CURE. A great number OF
cases, from two to five years standing,
have been cured with the first dose and
the Chill has never, as yet, returned.--
The beauty of this medicine is, that ii
stops the chill in Twenty Minutes, or
less and the patient will be entirely clear
from Fever after the chill, which is moi
the case when other medicine is used
1t has superseded all other medicines
wherever il has been introduced.

servation:
"Dr. Urban's medicine for the cure OF
chills and fever has effected some won
derful cures in our own midst. A young
man who has resided for Sc ,eral years in
Louisiana, reached New Albany a lew
weeks since, weak and emaciated-liter-
ally worn out physically. with long coz
tinued chills and fever. He made a
short stay at the house OF Judge Smith
where his old disease continued with no
less severity than at his home in Louis
lana. Having exhausted almost every
remedy known TO the medical profession,
he procured box of DIR. Urban's Gel
ebra,ed medicine, aid after taking two

He has been we'll ever since-savs his

FKOBENsACK's w RM SYRUP.
An article founded upon Scientific Pfinci-
plies, compounded with purely vegetable
substances, being perfectly safe when TAX
en-, and has NEVER been known TO fail in
curing the most obstinate case. WoRMs
can never exist when this remedy is once
used, from the fact that il not only des-
tioys them but removes all the slime and
mucus which may remain.
The Tape Worm.
This worm is the most difficult one to
destroy of all that inhabit the human body.
1t grows to an almost indefinite length.
and becoming SO coiled and fastened In
the intestines and stomach as to produce
Fits, st. Vitus' Dance, &C., which is the
cause of many going to the grave, not be.
lieving that these complaints have their
origin from the tape worm; consequently
they do not use the proper medicines for
their disease. To those who are afflicted
with this awful foe to health, | recommend
the use of my Worm Syrup. and Liver
Pills; the syrup to be taken in doses of two
tablespoons full three times day, then
to dislodge and pass the worm. BY strictly
liiCeC uictllOUb, EiOot OD-
stinate cases of Tape Worm can be speed
lily cured.
Round or Stomach Worm.
This worm is usually found in the small
intestines, and is the worm most commoG
to children, yet it is not entirely confined
to them, as adults have frequently been
known to suffer with them. The symp.
toms most prominent while affected with
this worm, are hardness and fullness OF the
belly, Shiny stools, looseness of the bowels,
picking at The nose, blueish streak under
the eyes, sc. If you, or any of your chill
dren have any of the above symptoms,
HOBENSACk'S WORM SYRUP can b..
safely depended upon--by using it you
have certain, safe, and speedy cure; and il
after using it according to the direction:
the patient is not restored to health, and
the worms thoroughly eradicated from the
system, you can rest assured there is no
remedy beyond the grave, as for fail. there
is no such word as fail with those who use
my WORN SYRUP.

ASCARIDES.

These worms, TO which the human sys-.
tenn is liable, are the most troublesome of
all others. They are generally to be found
in the rectum, and il allowed to remain,
from: the irritation they produce. lay the
foundation for ser ons disorders, such as in
flammation of the bowels; and other de-
engagements of the stomach. The best and
safest medicine that can be used is HO-
BENSACKS WORM SYRUP. Such is
the astonishing power of my medicines
over AscARADIEs, that defy any one to
produce case where my Worm Syrup ami
Liver Pills are recommended to be used
they will not cure. All that is necessary
is to use the Syrup in accordance withadi-
rections on each bottle; and in case gem
tie purgative is required in order to allay the
irritation they produce, the Liver Pills by
their sympathising action and heslthy OPP
ration upon the bowels, is the most pleas
ant medicine that can be TAKEN.
H0bensack's Liver Pills.
No part of the system is more liable to
disease than the Liver, it being supplied
with numerous blood vessels and nerves,
and if diseased, the blood of course flowing
through all parts of the body produces
Liver Complaint, Jaundice, Bilious
affections, Dyspepsia, &c.. &c.
Liver Complaint.
Is attended with chills. succeeded by fe-
yer, severe pains in the region of the Liv-
er, vomiting, bitter taste. yellow furred
tongue, pulse full and bounding, the pain
in the side is increased by pressure, should
the left lobe be aifeote the pain is gener-
ally in the left shoulder, with short dry
cough, the skin becoming of sallow APP
pearance, and the stools clay colored.--
This disease can be cured by the use of
H0BENSACK'S LIVER PILLS. as they
act directly upon the seat of the disease.
and then operating upon the bowels they
expel all corrupt and vitiated matter from
the system.
