Anti Malaria pills

\ SURE AND SAFE CURE FOR REMIT
IA tent and Intermittent Fevers and also a
most eHectual cure for all the secondary dis
eases accompanying these fevers, such as Liver
Complaint. Neuralgia, Indigestion, and Eularpe-
ment OF the Spleen, or Agne Cake. For inter
mtttent Fever or Fever and Agne, these pills
are undoubtedly the most efRctual and safe rem
edy IN the Known world. They NAV be taken
at any stage of the disease as well i'm the cold
stage as IN the hot. These pills not only stop
the Chllls and Fever, but they remove from the
system all secondary Affections which remain
after the use of other remedies, to reproduce
the disease again. In this respect we claim a
superiority over every other remedy which has
been offered to the public. There is a paper
roHnd each box. under the label, containing a
short history of the causes of the fevers of this
country nd the effects and operation of the
remedy which we propose. These pills are
made and put up iq the city of Marysville, Yuba
