FOR THE SPEEDY ouRE OF ~ q
intermittent Fever, or Fever and AgueS
Remittent Fever, Chill Fever, Dunb
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 sure
and safe cure for Fever and Ague. Such
we are now enabled to offer, with Q perfect
certainty that 1t will eradicate the disease,
and with assurance, founded on proof, that
no harm can arise from its use in any guam
tity. -'.. IL.
That which protects from or prevents this
disorder must be of immense service in the
communities where it prevails. PreUention 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 AGuE
from the system and prevents the develop
ment of the disease, if taken on the first ap-
proach of its premonitory symptoms. It il
not only the best remedy ever yet discovered
for this class of complaints, but also the
cheapest. The large quantity we supply for
n dollar brings it within the reach Of every
BODY: and in bilious districts, where FEVER
AND Aour 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 Intermittcnts is, that it contains
no Quinine or mineral, consequently it pro-
duces no quinism or other injurious effects
whatever upon TN. 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 masmatic poison. A great variety OF
disorders arise from its irritation, among which
are Neuralgia, Rheumatism, Gout, Headache,
Blindness, Toothachc, Earache, Catarrh, Asth-
ma, Palpitation, Painful Affection of the
Spleen, Mysteries, Pain in the Bowels, Colic.
Paralysis, and Derangernent 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
tho 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 cxcreted from the systcIns
and cannot accumulate i'll sufficient quantity
to ripcn into disease. Hence it is even more
valuable for protection than cure, and few will
| ever suffer from Intcrmittcnts, if they avail
themselves of the protection this remedy af-
| fordS.

THE PRINTERS CONSOLATION.
Tell me, ye winged winds,
That round my pathway play,
ID there Q place on earth
Who're Printers get their psyt
The whispering breeze went by
With accent filed with woe,
A voice borne on the sorrowing air,
In sadness answered "No."
Tell me, ye flowing streams,
That smoothly glide along,
10 there one cherished place,
Where Printers meet no wrongf
The gentle brook replied,
In murmurS soft and low,
And winding on itS verdant way,

Tell me, ye murky clouds,
Now rising in the west,

One spot by Printers blcStf
The flashing cloud outspoke
With an indignant glow,
voice that filled the earth with awe,
In thunder answered "No."
Tell me, hard-hearted man,
Withholding day by day,
IL there no honor in thy breast,
The Printers bill to pay!
UnaHswering turns he round,
And plain his actions show
An uttered, oath-capt sound is heard,
His actions answer "No."
Tell me, thou gentle nymph,
Who blessed life's hours through,

Where Printers get their due2
A mantling blush her cheek dinuSed,
Did tenfold grace impart,
A soft, responsive sigh replied,
