Fever and Ague,

from which mankind suffer over = large part Of
the globe, is the consequence Of diseased action
in the system, induced by the poisonous miasm Of
vegetable decay. This exhalation Ia evolved by
the action Of solar heat wet soil, and rises with
the watery vapor from it, While the sun Is below
the horizon this vapor fingers the earth's sur
face, and the virus is taken with it through the
lungs into the blood. There 1t acts Is m irritating
poison the internal viscera and excreting organs
of the body. The liver becomes torpid and fails to
sccrete not only this virus, but also the bile from
the blood. Both the virus and the bile accumulate
in the circulation, and produce violent constitu-
tional disorder. The spleen, the kidneys, and the
stomach sympathize with the liver, and become
dsordered also. Finally, the instinct Of our or
garism, as If in an attempt to expel the noxious
infusion, concentrates the whole blood Of the body
in the internal excretores to force them 70 cast II
out. The blood leaves the surface, and PUSHES to
the central organs with congestive violence. This
is the CHILL. But in this effort il fails. Then the
FEVER follows, IN which the blood leaves the CEN
tral organs and PUSHES 70 the surface, - II IN
another effort to expel the irritating poison through
that other great excret0y the skin. In this
also it fails, and the system ahandous the attempt
exhausted and waits for the recovery Of strength
to repeat the hopeless effort another day. These
are the fits or paroxysms Of FEVER AND AauI.
Such constitutional disorder viii Of under
niue the health If it il not removed.
We have labored to End. and have found. IN

Ayers Ague Cure.

which ncutralizes this malarious poison in the
blood and stimulates the liver to expel 1t from the
body As IL should, it does cure this affecting
disorder with perfect certainty. And II does more,
rather does what is of service to those sub
ject to this infection. Ii taken in season it expels
it from the system it il absorbed and thus keeps
those who use it free from its attacks; keeps the
system in health although exposed to the disease.
Consequently it not only cures, but protects from,
the great variety of affections which are induced
by this malignant influence, such a. Remittent
Fever, Chill Fever, Dumb, or Masked Ague,
Feycrs, Neuralgia, Rheumatism, Gout, Blindness,
Toothachc, Earache, Catarrh, Asthma, Palpita-
tons, Painful Affections Of the Spleen. Mysteries,
Cole, Paralysis. and Painful Affections Of the
Stomach and Bowels, all of which, when arising
from this cause, viii be found 10 assume more or
less the intermittent type. This AoUB Cum"
removes the Of these arrangements, and cures
the disease.
This it accomplishes by stimulating the excre-
tories to expel the virus from the system and
these organs by degrees become habted to do this
their Office Of their accord. Hence arises what
we term acciip,afatton. Time may accomplish the
same end but often life is not long enough, or is
sacrificed in the attempt, while this AGuR Cur"
does 1t at once, and with safety. We have great
reason to believe this is a surer well as safer
remedy for the whole class of diseases which are
caused by the miasmatic infection, than any other
which has been discovered; and il has still another
important advantage to the public, which il. that
1t IL cheap as well good.
