LARGE sHIPMEsTs.-It is astonishing to see
the large amount of MoLEAN's STRENGTHENING

parts of the country. It is scarcely three months

Ague Cure.
ron TIE SPEEDY CURE OF

tNN LIE SrEEbh IIhE Sh
Intcrmittent Fever, or Fever ami Ague,
ARue, Periodical Headache, or Bilious
Headache, and Bilious Eevers, indeed
for the whole class of diseases Originate
ing Ia hillary arrangement, caused by
the Iialaria OF Miasmntic Countries.
We are enabled here to offer the community a
remedy which, while il cures the above complaints
With certainty IS still perfectly harmless in any
quantity. such remedy is invaluable in districts
where these affecting disorders prevail This
"G"KE eXpcls the lhiasmatic poison Of FEVER
.'Nb AGrE nom the system, and prevents the de-
vclornent of the disease, if taken on the first ap-
prooch Off prcmonitory symptoms. Itisnot only
tho best remedy ever yet discovered for this class
Of complaints, but also the cheapest. The large
quantity we supply for dollar brings it within the
reach Ct every body; and in bilious districts where
tETrR AND AGUE prevails, every body should
have i. and use it freely both for cure and protec-
ten. great superiority Of this remedy over any
ether ever discovered for the speedy and certain
cme OF lntermttents is that It contains no Quinine
or mineral consequently it produces no quinism or
other injurious effects whatever upon the constitu-
ton. Those cured by it are left as healthy as If
they had never had the disease. 49,. ----.
Fever and Ague is not alone the consequence of
the miasmatic poison. A great variety Of disor-
i?rS arise from its irritation, among which are
HenasP'a, Me"mdtisN, GoW, Headache, Blind
aeSS, 1oothache, Eayache, Catay7h, AStlNla, PdL
pitatioa, Painful affection Of TIE Spleen, Hysse,-
icS, Pam IA tie BoIoeis, Colo, Paralysis and De
roage0'cHt Of tie Stomach, all of which, when
originating in this cause, put on the intermittent
tgps, or become periodical. This "CuRE expels
the poison from the blood, and consequently cures
them ali alike. 1t is an invaluable protection TO
Immigrants and persons travelling or temporarily
residing in the malariOus districts. Iftaken occa-
SiOnally or daily while exposed to the infection,
that will be excreted from the system, and cannot
accumulate in sufficient quantity to ripen into dis
ease Hence it is even more valuable for protec-
ton than cure, and few will ever suffer from Inter
inittents ii they avail themselves of the protection
this remedy affords.

chair is now SO unworthiy filed by the present in
