upon us in which there is more or less suffer
ing caused by that plague of the west, viz I;
chills, fever and aguc, or, rs many term it.

found in another column of to-day's paper. II
we give credit to the numerous testimonials
therein given of the high esteem placed upon
this medicine by men Of high standing and
worth, from all parts of the western world.
we are led to believe that it is a great remedy,
and one on which the public can place conf
dence as to its efficacy. We have long look
ed for that period when some remedy might
be discovered and offered to suffering HUMANE
ty as a complete antidote to malaria, and from
evidences we see in favor of the Balsam. we
are led to believe that that time has come
and that no one need any longer suffer. when
they can procure a bottle of this medicine
