Ague Cure,
FOR THE SPEEDY CURE OF

q !
FOR THE SPEEDY CURE OF
Intermittent Fever, or Fever and Ague,
Remittent Fever, Chill Fever, Dumb
Ague, Periodical Headache, or Bilious
Headache, and Bilious Fevers, indeed
for the whole class of diseases Origi-
mating in hillary arrangement, caused
by the Malaria of miasmatic countries.
No one remedy is louder called for by the
necessities of the American people than a sure
and safe cure for Fever and Ague. Such
certainty that it will eradicate the disease,
and with assurance, founded on proof, that
no harm can arise from its use in any quaE.
tity.
That which protects from or prevents this
disorder must be Of immense service in the
communities where it prevails. Preoeatioa is
better than cure, for the patient escapes the
risk which he must run in violent attacks Of
this baleful dstemper. This "CURB" expels
the miasmatc poison of FEVER AND AGUR
from the system and prevents the develop
ment Of the disease, if taken on the first ap-
proach of its premonitory symptoms, 1t is
not only the best remedy ever yet discovered
for this class of complaints, but also the
cheapest. The large quantity we supply for
a dollar brings it within the reach Of every
body; and in bilious districts, where FEVER
AND AdUE prevails, every body should have it
and use it freely both for cure and protection.
1t is hoped this price will place it within tho
reach of all-the poor as well as the rich. A
great superiority of this remedy over any
other ever discovered for the speedy and cer-
tain cure of Intermittents is, that it contains
no Quiuine or mineral, consequently it pro-
duces no quinism or other injurious effects
whatever upon the constitution. Those cured
by it are left as healthy as if they had never
had the disease.
Fever and Agueis not alone the consequence
of the miasmatic poison. A great variety OF
disorders arise from its irritation, among which
are Neuralgia, Rheumatism, Gout, Headache,
Kindness, Toothache, Earache, Catarrh, Asth-
ma, Palpitation, Painful Affection Of the
Spleen, Mysteries, Pain in the Bowels, Collie,
Paralysis, and Derangement Of the Stomach,
all of which, when originating in this cause,
put on the intermittent type, or become period
ical. This "CURE" expels the poison from
the blood, and consequently cures them all
alike. 1t is an invaluable protection to immi-
grants and persons travelling or temporarily
residing in the malarious districts. If taken
occasionally or daily while exposed to the in
fection, that will be excreted from the system,
and cannot accumulate in sufficient quantity
to ripen into disease. Hence it is even moro
valuable for protection than cure, and few will
ever suffer from Intermittents, if they avail
themselves of the protection this remedy af-

tiOn, and for the relief of Consumptive
Patients in advanced stages of the
disease,
So wide is the field of its usefulness and so nu-
merous are the cases Of its cures, that almost
every section of country abounds in persons pub
liCly known, who have been restored from alarming
and even desperate diseases Of the lungs by its
use. When once tried, its superiority over every
other medicine of its kind is too apparent to escape
observation, and where its virtues are known, the
public no longer hesitate what antidote to employ
pulmonary organs that are incident to our climate
While many inferior remedies thrust upon the
community have failed and been discarded, this
has gained friends by every trial, conferred benefits
ON the afflicted they can never forget, and pro-
duced cures too numerous and too remarkable to
be forgotten. -

As lsrmer, of Orsiuovi, near that city,
was, recently, returning from market, he
stopped at d roadside pub;ic;house, and i'm
prudently showed the innikeeper a large
sum which he had received. In the night
the inn-keeper, armed with poignard, stole
into the farmers chamber, and prepared to
stab him, but the farmer, who, from the
mans manner ai supper, conceived sus-
pcons OF ioul play. had thrown himself,
fully dressed, on the beJj without going to
sleep, and; being powerful man, he wrest-
cd the poignart from the 5ther, and, using
it aga nst him, laid him dead at his feet. A
few moments after, he heard stones thrown
at the window, and scice, which he re.
cognized as that of the inn-keeper's son,
said, The grave is ready" This proved
to him that the father and son had planned
his murder, and to avoid detection had in-
tended burying the dead body at once. He
therefore wrapped the dead body in a sheet.

right of the people in Territory to admit
or exclude Slavery at their option.
Such is the Douglas plot. There are
leaders and party ready to rally round
him and its furtheraEce, whether they are
in the secret or not. The sagacinus viii
understand it, as they begin TO do. He has
many friends in the North, and will have
more, because he is himself Northern
man, and because one side of his face has
apparently strong Northern likeness
Strong Pro-Slavery men in the South, even
fre-eaters and disunionists, v no, when he
bore down upon Lecompton and the Ad-
ministration, looked savagely askance at
him. are now growing warm and earnest in
their friendship for him. They commisser-
ate his position, and sympathise with him
in his hard fought battles in illinois. As
samples, he can number among his sup
perters and sympathizers Uicc-President
Breckenridge. of Kentucky; Henry A.
Wise. Governor Of Virginia; Hon. A. II ).

Those who are observant OF the signs IN
the political heavens, clearly perceive that
the star Of Douglas is rapidly rising ind will
soon be in the ascendant. His success or
defeat in Illinois may accelerate or retard
its progress; but still its course is destined
to be onward and upward. Like baleful
meteor, it shoots upward, be,okening
nought but disaster and defeat to the cause
Of Human Freedom.
Where is the power. that can avert the
fearful consequences this glaring meteor
30 plainly prognosticates! That power
IS in the hands and in the votes OF those
who really love liberty and the right in the
Free and in the Slave States. If not blind
o their true interests and to the real good
# their country, they will, initiating the
Example set them by the advocates of
Slavery, stand shoulder to shoulder in favor
4 Freedom everywhere in all the States
md Territories, they can make Liberty, in
tead of Slavery, Universal and Perpetual.
