INPECTINE,
THE PERSIAN FEVER CHARM. z

THOR the prevention and of Fever and Ague and
brought to the knowledge of the present propretors
by friend who has been great traveller in Persia
and the Holy Land. aa
While going down the River Euphrates, he expert
enced a severe attack of Fever and Ague. On dis
covering his condition one of the Boatmen took from
his person an Amulet saying, .sWRAR
FEvER WILL TOUCH YOU Although incredulous as
diate relief and has since always found it eecsu
al protection from all malarious complaints.
On further investigation he found that the boatman
attributed to it miraculous powers, and said that it
could only be obtained from the Priests of the Sun
Sometime afterwards, the gentleman in conversing
with Priest obtained from him the secret of its prep
aration and ascertained where the medicinal herbs
were found, of which it was compounded. The Won
derful virtues of this article have induced full belief
in the minds of the natives in the miraculous healing
powers of their Priests.
Since his return to America it has been tried with
the happiest effect by several Ladies and Gentlemen
of high character, who have given it the most unqua
flied praise. This remedy having been specific in
Persia for hundreds of years, for the and
cure of Fever and Ague and Bilious Fevers-is now
offered to the American people,
