Ague Cure.

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 Glass Of Diseases origi-
mating in hillary arrangement, caused
by the Malaria Of miasmatic countries.
No one remedy is louder called for by the ne
ccsstics of the American people than II sure and
safe cure for Fever and Aguc. Such II remedy
we are now enabled to offer, with perfect GER
tainty that it will eradicate the discnsc, and with
assurance, founded on proof, that ITO harm can
arise from its use in any quansity.
That which protects from or prevents this dis
order must be Of immense service in the commu-
mites where it prevails. Prt,ention is better
than cure for the patient escapes the risk which
hc must run in violent attacks of this baleful
distempcr. This "CuRE cxpcls tho mas-
matte poison of FEVER AND AGuE from the
system, and prevents the development Of the
disease if taken on tho first approach of its pre-
monitory symptoms. 1t is not only tho bcst
remedy ever yet discovered for this class of COM
plants, but also the cheapest. The large guam
tity we supply for n 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 ce
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
certain cure of 1ntcrmittcnts is, that it contains
no Quinine or mineral, consequently it produces
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 dis
case.
Fever and Aguc is not alone the consequence
of the miasmatc poison. A great variety of dis
orders arise from Its irritation, among which are
Neuralgia, Rheumatism, Cont, Headache, Blind
ness Toothache, Eainchc, Catarrh, Asthma,
Palpiation, Painful Affection of the Spleen,
Mysteries, Pain in the Bowels Collie Paralysis,
and Dcrangemcnt of the Stomach all of which,
when originating in this cause, put on tire inter
mittcnt type, or become periodical. This "CuRE"
cxpcls the poison from the blood, and conse-
quently cures them all alike. 1t is an nvalua-
Die protection to immigrants, and persons trav-
cling or temporarily residing in the malarious
districts. If taken occasionally, or daily, while
exposed to the infection, that will be excreted
from tho system, and cannot accumulate in suf-
ficicnt quantity to ripen into disease. Hence it
is even more valuable for protection than cure,
and few will ever suffer from Intermittents, If
they avail themselves of the protection this rem
cdy affords.
