MEDICAL ADVERTISEMENTS.
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 exhalation 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 sur
face, and the virus is taken with it through the
lungs into the blood. There it acts as an irritating
poison on the internal viscera and excreting organs
of the body. The liver becomes torpid and fails 70
secrete not only this virus, but also the bile from
the blood. Both the virus and the bile accumWhte
in the circulation, and produce violent con- ftu-
tional disorder. The spleen, the kidneys, aY the
stomach sympathize with the liver, and become
disordered also Finally, the instinct ofJour Or

Ayers Ague Cure,

which reutralizes this malarious poison in the
blood and stimulates the liver to expel it from the
body As it should, so it does care this affecting
disorder with perfect certainty. And it does more,
rather does what is of more service to those sub
jcct to this infection. If taken in season it expes
it from the system as it is absorbed and thus keeps
those who use il free from its attacks; keeps the
system in health although exposed to the disease.
Consequently it only cures, but protects from,
the great variety of affections 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 Earache, Catarrh, Asthma, Palpita-
tons, Painful Affections of the Spleen, Mysteries,
Collie, Paralysis, and Painful Affections of the
Stomach and Bowels, all of which, when arising
from this cause, will be found to assume more or
less the intermittent type. This "AGUE CURE -
removes the of these arrangements, and cures
the disease. s...
This it accomplishes by stimulating the excre-
tories to expel the virus from the system; and
these organs by degrees become habited to do this
their Office of their accord Hence arises what
we term GccHniGt0ti0a. Time may accomplish the
same end but often life is not long enough, or is
sacrificed in the attempt while this "AGuE CURE =
does it at once, and with safety. We have great
reason to believe this is a surer as well as safeI
remedy for TIE whole class of diseases which are
caused by the miasmatic infection, than any othef
which has been discovered and it has still anothea
important advantage to the public, which is, tl,ss
it is cheap as well good.
