difficulty occurred in the machine shop of the Chat
tanooga and Nashville Railroad, in which man
named Burke, foreman of the establishment, shot two
of the employees, and was about to fire at a third,
when Mr. Swazey threatened him with an ak, and
compelled him to drop his pistol. One of the men was
wounded slightly and the ether dangerously The
difficulty originated in bad feeling, caused by the dis

xOh ThE uFEEDY CURE Ok
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 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 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 miasmatic poison of FEVER AND AauE
from the system and prevents the Develop
ment Of the disease, if taken on 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 for
dollar brings it within the reach Of every
body: and in bilious districts, where FEVER
AND AeuE 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 we'll 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 it 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 Ague is not alone the consequence
of the miasmatic poison. A 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,
all of which. when originating in this cause,
put on the intermittent type, or become period
ical. This CURE" eApels 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. III taken
occasionally or daily while exposed to the in
fiction, that will be cxcreted from the system,
and cannot accumulate in sufficient quantity
to rlpen into disease. Hence it is even more
valuable for protection than cure, and few will
ever suffer from Intermittents, il they avail
themselves of the protection this remedy af-
fords.
