disorder with perfect certainty. And it does more,
rather does what is Of more servicc TO those sub
ect to this infection. II taken in il cxpcls
il from the system /, Is absorbed and ihas keeps
those who it free from its attacks; keeps the
SYSTEM in health although exposed 10 the disease.
Consequently it not only cures, but protects from.
the great variety of affections which induced
by this malignant influence. such Rcmittent
Fever. Chill Few, Dumb. or Masked Aguc,
Periodical Headache. or Bilious Headache. Bilious
Fevers. N.uralgia, Rheumatism, Govt Blindness.
Tooihachc, E.raehe. Catarrh, Asthma. Palpita-
tons, Painful Affections of the Spleen, Mysteries,
Colo, 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 "AGug CURE"
removes the cause Of these arrangements, and cures
the disease.
This it accomp,ishes by stimulating the excre-
tones to expcl the virus from the system; and
these organs by degrees become habi;c2 TO do this
their Office OF their accord. Hence arises what
we term acciimataiion. Time may accomplish the
same end. but often life is not long enough, or is
sacrificed in the attenpt while this " AGvE CURE"
does II at once, and with safety. We have great
reason TO believe this is surcr well safer
remedy for the whole class of diseases which are
caused by the miasmatic infection. than any other
which has been disco,cred and i, has still another
important advantage to the public, which is, that
it is cheap as well as good.

from which mankind suffer over a large part Of

in the system, induced by the poisonous miasm Of
vegetable decay. This exhalation is evolved by
che 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 the eaTth's
face, and the virus is taken with it through the
lungs into the blood. There it acts an irritating
poison the internal and excreting organs
OF the body. The liver becomes torpid and fails 70
