Ague Cure,
FOR THE SPEEDY CURE OF

FOR THE SPEEDY CURE OF
Tutermittent Fever, or Fever and Ague,
Remittent Fever, Chill Fever, Dumb
Arue. Periodical Headache, or Bilious
Headache, and Bilious Fevers, indeed
for the whole class of diseases Orist-
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
we are now enabled to offer, with perfect
certainty that it will eradicate the disease,
and with assurance, founded on proof, that
no harm can arise from Its use In any guam
tity.
That which protects from or prevents this
disorder must be of immense service in the
communities where it prevails. Prevention IS
better than cure, for the patient escapes the
risk which he must run in violent attacks OF
this baleful distemper. This "CURE" expels
the miaslnatic poison of FEVER AND AGUE
from the system and prevents the develop
ment of the disease, if taken 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 Tor
a dollar brings it within the reach OF every
BODY; and in bilious districts, where FEVER
AND AGuE prevails, every body should have 1t
and use it freely both for cure and protection.
1t is hoped this price will place 1T within the
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 GER
tain cure of Intermittents is, that it contains
no Quinine or mineral, consequently 1t pro-
duces no quinism OF 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 Ague is not alone the consequence
of the mia~matic poison. 4 great variety OF
disorders arise from its irritation, among which
arc Neuralgia, Rheumatism, Gout, Headache,
Blindness. Toothache, Earache, Catarrh, Asth-
ma, Palpitation, Painful Affection OF the
Spleen, Mysteries, Pain in the Bowels, Collc,
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
I alike. 1t is an invaluable protection to lmmi-
| 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 more
valuable for protection than cure, and few will
ever suffer from Interlnittents, if they avail
themselves of the protection this remedy al
