Ayers Ague Cure,

which neutralizes this malarious poison in the
blood, and stimulates the liver to expel it from the
body. As it should, SO it does cure this affecting
disorder with perfect certainty. And it does more,
rather does what is of more service to those SUBJ
iect to this Infection If taken in season it expels
it from the system as it Ia absorbed, and thus keeps
those who use it free from its attacks; keeps the
system in health although exposed to the disease.
Consequently it not 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 Ind Bowels, all Of which, when arising
from this cause, will. be found to assume more OF
less the intermittent type. This 'sAGUB CuRE'
removes the cause Of these arrangements, and cures
the disease.
This it aecomplishes by stimulating the excre-
tories to expel the virus from the system; and
these organs by degrees become habited to do this
their othce of their accord. Hence arises what
we term acclimatation. Time may accomplish the
same end but often life is not long enough, or is
sacrificed in the attempt, while this IS AGUE CURE
does it at once, and with safety. We have great
reason to believe this is q surer as well safer
remedy for the whole class of diseases which are
caused by the niasmatic infection, than any other
which has been discovered; and it has still another
important advantage to the public, which is, that
it is cheap as well as good.
