The Secretary invites the special atten-

militia Of the United States, which was
passed in 1903. Forty-one years ago, the
sum Of two hundred thousand dollars was
fixed upon as a regular annual appropria-

sequent periods, the older States found
that, by accumulation, they had more arms
than Were Necessary, aud it was resolved
to furnish to the States and Territories a
increase over regular quo.

Ayers Cathartic Pills,
FOR ALL the PURPOSES OF A FAMILY PHYsIC,

are so composed that disease within the range Of
their action can rarely withstand or evade them.
Their penetrating properties search, and cleanse
and invigorate every portion of the human organ
ism, correcting its diseased action, and restoring
its healthy vitalities. As a consequence of these
properties, the invalid who is bowed down with
pain or physical debility is astonished to find his
health or energy restored by a remedy at once SO
simple and inviting.
Not only do they cure the everyday complaints
OF every body, but also many formidable and
dangerous diseases. The agent below named is
pleased to furnish gratis my American Almanac,
containing certificates Of their cures and directions
for their use in the following complaints: Costire.
ness, Heartburn, Headache arising from d'SordeTed
Stomach, Nausea, Indigestion, Pam an and Norbid
Inaction of the BotceS, F2atuLency, Loss Of Appe-

Ague Cure,
FOR THE SPEEDY CURE OF

FOR THE bPEEDh SOhL Ut
Intermittent Fever, or Few and Ague,
Remittent Fever, Chill Fever, Dumb
Arue. Periodical Headache, or Bilious
Headache. and Bilious Fevers, indeed
for the whole class of diseases orisi.
mating in hillary arrangement, caused
BY the Malaria of miasmntic countries.
No one remedy is louder called for by the
necessities of the American people than a sure
and safe cure for Fever and Ague. such
we are now enabled to offer, with a 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 "CuRB" expels
the miasmatic poison of FEVER AND AGUE
from the system and prevents the develop
ment of the disease, if taken on the first APP
proach of its premonitory symptoms. 1t Is
not only the best remedy ever vet discovered
for this class of complaints, but also the
cheapest, The large quantity we supply for
q dollar brings it within the reach of every
BODY; and in bilious districts, where FEVER
AND AouE prevails, every body should have 1t
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 Intermittent is, that 1t 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 Agueis not alone the consequence
of the miasmatic poison. A great variety OF
disorders arise from its irritation, among which
are Neuralgia, Rheumatism, Gout, Headache,
Blindness. Toothache, Earache, Catarrh, Asth-
ma. Palpitation, Painful Affection of the
Spleen, Mysteries, Pain in the Bowels, Cohe,
Yaralysis, and Derangement of the Stomach,
81 of which, when originating in this cause,
out on the intermittent type, or become PERIOD
kal. This CURE" expels the poison from
Ne blood, and consequently cures them all
ike. 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
lection, that will be excreted from the system.
and cannot accumulate in sufficient quantity
10 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 remedy al
fords.
