Settle EsQ-It gives me great pleasure state that az
aal Of the "vesper Gas Lamps, in study for
past and ser observing closely for the same length OF
time the experiment Of lighting cur Union Tent" with these
lamps entire confidence their efficiency. It seems 70
they AFFORD all the advantages Of the best gas lights TO thosz
who live out Of The cies and large towns.
The process Of preparing and lighting the lamp is so readily
learned the fixtures simple and little liable 20 get out
Of orGsr the cost Of the light comparatively es and the
whole free from al danger that need only mere acquain
part the public with the Fesper Gas Lamp q
bring them into general throughout the country.
Yours truly, STUART hoHISsoh

AguG Cure,

FOR THE SPEEDY CURE OF
Intermittent Fever, or Fever and Ague, Re-
mittent Fever, Chill Fever, Dumb Ague,
Periodical Headache, or Bilious Head
ache, and Bilious Fevers, indeed for the
whole class of diseases originating in bill
larry arrangement, caused by the Malaria
of miasmatic countries.
No one remedy is louder called for by the ne
cessities 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 viii eradicate the disease, and with as
surance, founded on proof, that no harm can
arise from its use IN any qusntity.
That which protects from OF prevents this dis
order must be of immense service In the eommu-
mites where it prevails. PreUsRt0n IS better than
cure, for the patient escapes the risk which he
must run in violent attacks of this baleful dis
temper. This 4" CURE expels the miasmatic
poison of FEVER AND AGUE from the system and
prevents the development of the disease, if takeE
on the first approach of its prsmonitOry symptoms.
1t IS not only the best remedy ever yet discovered
for this clcss of complaints but also the cheapest.
The large quantity we supply for dollar brings K
within the reach Of every body and IN bilious
districts, where FEVER AND AGUE prevails, every
body should have 1t and use it freely both for
and protection It Is hoped tins 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 certain
cure of Iltermttents Is that it contains no Quinne
or mineral, consequently it produces no quinism or
other injurious effects whatever upon the cOnsttu-
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 disorders
arise from its irritation, among which are Neural
gia, rheumatism, Govt, Headache Blindness,
ToOthache, Earache, Catarrh, Asthma PalpitatiOn,
Painful Affection of the Spleen, Mysteries, Pain in
the Bowels, Collie, Paralysis, and Derangement Of
the Stomach, all of which, when originating in
this cause, put 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 to immigrants and
persons travelling or temporarily residing in the
maiarOus districts. If taken occasionally or daily
while exposed to the Infection that viii be ezcre-
ted from the system, and cannot accumulate IN
sufficient quantity to Ipen 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
affords.
