The Persian Fever Charm.

For the prevention cure Of Fever md Agus
and Billions Fevers. This wonderful remedy
was brought to the knowledge of the present
proprietors by friend who has been great
traveller in Persia and the Holy Land.
While going down the river Euphrates, he
experienced a severe attack of Fever and Ague.
TN discovering his condition, one Of the Boat
men took from his person an Amulet, saying,
" Wear this and no Fever will touch you.' Al
though incredulous as to its virtues he COM
piled, and experienced immediate relief, and
has since always found it an efectual p, otec-
ton from all mals rious complaints.
On further investigation he found that the
boatmen attributed to it miraculous pow ers, and
said that it could only be obtained from the
Priests Of the Sun. Sometime afterwards the
gentleman in conversing with Priest obtain
81 from him the secret Of its preparation, and
ascertained where the medicinal herbs were
found, Of which it was compounded. The wond-
ei ul virtues of this article have induced a full
lief in tho minds Of the natives in the mirac-
GUS healing powers Of their Priests.
Since his return to America, it has been
tried with the happiest effect by several Ladies'
and Gentlemen Of high character, who have
given it the most unqualified praise. This
remedy having been specific in Persia for
hundreds Of years, for the prevention and cure
Of Fever and Ague and Bilious Fever--is now
offered to the American people.

stalk until, as in some instances We no

ever no shell. They are Of a dark red

Of Deep Greek. As q majority Of the
