Fever and Ague.

from which mankind suffer over large part of
the globe, is the consequence of diseased action
in the system, induced by the poisonous miasm
of vegetable decay. This exhaation is evolved
by the action of solar heat on wet soil, and rises
with the watery vapor from it. While the sun is
below the horizon this vapor fingers near the
earth's surface, and the virus is taken with it
through the lungs into the blood There it acts
as an irritating poison on the internal visccra
and excreting organs of the body. The liver be-
comes torpid and fails TO secrete not only this
virus, but also the bile from the blood. Both
the virus and the bile accumulate in the circula-
ton, and produce violent constitutional disorder.
The spleen, the kidneys, and the stomach SYM
pathize with the liver, and become disordered
Also Finally, the instinct of our organism, as
if in an attempt to eXpel the noXious infusion,
concentrates the whole blood of the body in the
internal cXcretories to force them to cast it out.
The blood leaves the surface, and rushes to the
central organs with congcstivc violence. This is
the CHILL. But in this effort it fails. Then the
FEVER follows, in which the blood leaves the
central organs and rushcs to the surface, as if
in another effort to eXpel the irritating poison
through the other great excretory - the skin. In
this also it fails, and the system abandons the at
tempt exhausted, and waits for the recovery of
strength repeat the hopeless effort another day.
These are the fits or paroxysms of FEVER AND
AGUE. Such constitutional disorder will of
course undermine the health if it is not removed.

Ayers Ague Cure,

which neutralizes this malarious poison in the
blood, and stimulates the liver to expel it from
the body. AS it should so it does cure this af-
flictive disorder with perfect certainty. And it
does more, or rather does what is of more SER
vice to those subject to this infection. If taken
in season it expels it from the system as it is alb
sorbed, and thus keeps those who use it free from
its attacks; keeps the system in health although
exposed to the disease. Consequently it not only
cures, but protects from, the great variety of AT
fections which are induced by this malignant
influence such as Remittent Fever, Chill Fever,
Dumb, or Masked Ague, Periodical Headache,
or Bilious Headache, Bilious Fevers, Neuralgia,
Rheumatism, Gout, Blindness, Toothache, Ear
ACHE Catarrh, Asthma, Palpitations, Painful Af-
fections of the Spleen Mysteries, Collie, Paralysis,
and Painful Affections of the Stomach and Bow
els, all of which, when arising from this cause,
will be found to assume more or less the intermit
tent type. This "AGUE CURE" removes the cause
of these arrangements, and cures the disease
This it accompisheS by stimulating the excrc-
tories to expel the virus from the system; and
these organs by degrees become habted to do this
their Office of their own accord. Hence arises
what we term dcclimdtion. Time may accomplish
the same end but often life is not long enough or
is sacrificed in the attempt, while this " AGUE
CURE" does ii at once and with safety. We have
great reason to believe this is "a surer as well
safer remedy for the whole class of diseases
which are caused by the miasmatic infection,
than any other which has been discovered; and
it has still another important advantage to the
1blic, which is, that it is cheap as well as good.

IMPURE BLOOD.

The blood is the life f! and when any foreign
or unhealthy matter gets mixed with it, it is at
once distributed TO every organ of the body.
Every nerve feels the poison, and all the vital
organs quickly complain. The stomach will
not digest the food perfectly. The liver ceases
to secrete q sufficiency of bile. The action OF
the heart is weakened, and so the circulation is
feeble. The lungs become clogged with the
poisonous matter hence, a cough-and all from
slight impurity at the fountain head of life
the Blood ? AS if you had thrown some earth,
for instance, in pure spring, from which ran a
tiny rivulet, in few minutes the whole course
of the stream becomes disturbed and discolored
As quickly does impure blood fly to every part,
and leave its sting behing. All the passages
become Distracted, and unless the obstruction
is removed, the lamp of life soon dies out.
These pills not only purify the blood, but
regenerate all the secretions of the body they
are til erefore unriyalled as
