Ague Cure,
FOR THE SPEEDY CURE OF

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 originate
ing in hillary derangement, caused by
the Malaria of Miasniatic~ Countries.
We are enabled here to offer the community a
remedy which, while it cures the above complaints
with certainty, is still perfectly harmless in any
quantity. Such a remedy is invaluable in districts
where these affecting disorders prevail. This
"CURE" expels the miasmatic poison of FEVER
AND AGUE from the system, and prevents the de-
velopment of the disease. if taken on the first ap-
proach of its premonitory symptoms. It's not only
the best remedy ever yet discovered for this class
of complaints, but also the cheapest. The large
quantity we supply for a dollar brings it within the
reach OF every body and in bilious districts, where
FEVER AMI AGUE prevails, every body should
have it and use it freely both for cure and protec-
ton. great superiority of this remedy over any
other ever discovered for the speedy and certain
cure of Intermittents is that it contains no Quinlne
or mineral, consequently it produces no quinism or
other injurious effects whatever upon the %constitu-
ton. 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 diser-
ders arise from its irritation, among which are
Neuralgia, Rheumatism, Gout, Headache, Bind
ness, Toothache, Earache, Catqg7h, Asthma, Pal
pitohon, Painful affection Of tie Spleen, Hyster-
icS, PAIN in the B0,rcLs, COhc, Paralysis and De-
rangen,ent Of the Stomach, all of which, when
originating in this cause, put on the Intermittent
type, or become periodical. This "CURE" expels
the poison from the blood, and consequently cures
them all alike. 1t is an invaluable protection 10
immigrants and persons travelling or temporarily
residing in the malarious districts. If taken occa-
sionaIly or daily while exposed to the infection,
that Will be excreted from the system, and cannot
accumulate in sufficient quantity to riPen into dis
case. Hence it is even more valuable for protec-
ton than cure, and few will ever suffer from Inter
mittents if they avail themselves of the protection
this remedy affords.

The late township election of Drury township,
which was contested by 1. B. Essex and family,
minority candidates for town officers, has not been
and is not likely to be upset. The investigation
which commenced on Friday, the Goth, and ended
the following Monday, before Justices Whitney, Of
Buffalo, Dutton, of Edgngton, and Drury, of
Drury, resulted in finding the town officers capable
of conducting election according to law; or, at
least sufficiently SO for all practical purposes, and
the people privileged to vote for and elect whoever
they choose. No effort was made to show fraud or
the contestants signally failed to show that there
was the least to believe that the election was
not fair expression Of the will and wisdom of the
people. A. VOTER.
