Important Information!
o Passengers BY the Ocean Steamers

The Fevers and Rheumatic Diseases
which are sometimes contracted while
crossing the Isthmus of Panama, or of Mica
ragua. generally result from the want of
knowledge, or the indiscretion of the trav-
eler. Excepting few constitutions strong
ly fortified by nature, every voyager is in
some degree affected by the malaria, or
vegetable poison, which floats in the atmos-
phere of the tropics. The researches of
Professor Liebig have shown that this at
mospheric poison, or miasm (entering the
human bodyby the skin and lungs,) pro-
duces fermentation in the blood, which is
sometimes rapid and fatal, under the we'll
known forms of "Bilious.n sTyphoid,n
"Isthmus," Panama, "and s'Yellow'' fever.
Every housekeeper knows that the fer
mentation of yeast may be checked by a
mineral alkali. In the same manner, the
fermentation of malaria in the human body
is terminated, or even wholly prevented, by
vegetable remedies appointed by nature
for that end.
1t is proved beyond controversy, that
small doses of certain vegetable gums and
alkaloids, taken daily during the approach
to the Isthmus, and the passage over. are a
strong protection against atmospheric
poison. To ensure a healthy and agreeable
passage, it is necessary:
LIST. To observe few simple directions,
which, if followed, will keep the skin, the
lun ,gs, the stomach and the bowels in good
eondi ton.
I'd. TO use daily, small doses of the pre-
ventive medicine, while approaching and
passing through the hot latitudes.
The remedies which prevent, are natu-
ralIy those which cure; and if, through un-
avoidable exposure. or great susceptibility,
the traveller finds the "chill,'' or the febrile
stealing over him, he has only to
on the 18th mus, and for the pre-
of health during the voyage, to-
gether with the necessary prescriptions,

DIR. Pareira' s Great ItaE in Remedy
LOR the certain and speedy cure of dis
4 eases of private nature, no matter
how long standing, without any injurious
effects to the system, or any change Of diet.
1t has never failed-it cannot fail to cure.
This invaluable specific, first introduced
into Pisa some fifty gears since. soon be-
came so well known as a certain cure,'
that in every town and city, not only on
the Continent, but in Great Britain, the de-
mand for it was so great, its merits SO as
founding, that in less than one year from
its introduction it had supplanted all other
remedies. The Medical Faculty of the
principal cities of Europe were compelled
to acknowledge its wonderful mastery over
disease. Proprietors of other medicines,
jealous OF its sway, vainly endeavored to
stay its onward progress. Like grass before
the mower, their efforts fell to the ground;
and like fire on the prairies, sweeping all
before it, its onward march became trium-
plant. 1t stood forth upon it's own merits;
discerning public saw tried and were con-
WINGED of its magical virtues. The massive
fortune acquired by DIR. Pareira from the
sale of it during the six years he prepared
1T, alone bore witness to its miraculous me-
rits. At the decease of the Doctor, the
recipe was bequeathed to his son, who has
lately introduced the remedy into the Uni
ted States. The number of cures it has al
ready made are astonishing. Thousands
and tens of thousands can bear testimony
to its efficacy.
All who use it, it will cure, with safety,
speed and certainty no other medicine has
ever possessed. Resort to no quack nos
trums. Use remedy that has been tried
for the past fifty years, and was never
known to fail.
BEWARE OF CoUNTERFEITs.
The extensive sale of this wonderful med
icine has already caused some person or
persons, to palm off upon the unsuspecting
a spurious compound closely resembling
the original. Be particular to buy none
without the written signature of A. Parei-
ra, M. D., on the outside wrapper of each
bottle. All others are counterfeit, and
their compounders will be punished with
the utmost rigor of the law.
