Ague Cure,
roR THE SPEEDY CURE OF

GOh InE cFGEox NUnE We
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 i'm hillary arrangement, caused
by the Malari6Uf 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 il win 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 miasmatic poison of FEVER AND AauE
nom the system and prevents the develop
ment of the disease, if taken on the first APP
proach of Its preinonitory symptoms. 1t is
not only the best remedy ever vet 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 AGuE prevails, every body should have it
and use it freely both for cure and protection.
1t is hoped this price will place it 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 1t contains
no Quinine or mineral, consequently il 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. 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,
oil Of which, when originating in this cause,
put ON the intermittent type, or become period
ical. This "CuRR" 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
fiction, that will be excreted from the SYSTEM
and cannot accumulate in sufficient quantity
to ripen into disease. Hence it il even more
valuable for protection than cure, and few will
ever suffer from ntermittents If thew avail
themselves of the protection this remedy af-
tortis.
