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 nlasm of veoetable decay. This exhalation IS evolved by fhe action of solar heat on wet so and rises with the watery vapor from it. While the sun is below the horizon this vapor fingers near the earths sur face. and the virus Is taken with 1t through the
 lungs into the blood. There it acts as an irritating noison on the internal viscera and excretng organs of the body The liver becomes torpid and fails to secrete not only this virus, but also the bile from the blood. Both the virus and the bile accumulate in the circulation, and produce violent constitl- tional disorder The spleen, the kidneys, and the stomach sympathize with the liver, and become disordered also. Finally, the instinct of our or ganism as if in an attempt to expel the noxlous infusion. concentrates the whole blood of the body in the internal excretofes to force them to cast 1t out. The blood leaves the surface, and rushes to the central organs with congestive violence. This is the CHILL But in this effort it fails. Then the FEVER follows, in which the blood leaves the cen tral organs and rushes to the surface, as II in another effort to expe the irritating poison through that other great excretory the skin In this also it fails and the system abandons the attempt exhausted, and waits for the recovery of strength to repeat the hopeless effort another day. These are the fits or paroxysms of FEVER AND AGuE. Such constitutional disorder will of course under mine the health if 1t is not removed.
 We have labored to find, and have found, an antidote

FOR THE SPEEDY CURE OF
 Intermittent Fever, or Fever and Ague,
 Remittent Fever, Chill Fever, Dumb
 Ague, Periodical Headache, or Bilious
 Headache, and Bilious Feyers, indeed
 for the whole class of diseases origi-
 mating in biliary derangement, caused
 by the Malaria of miasmatic countries.
 No one remedy is louder called for by the necessities of the American people than sure and safe cure for Fever and Ague. Such we are now enabled to offer, with perfect certainty that 1t will eradicate the disease, and with assurance, founded on proof, that no harm can arise from its use in any Quan- tity
 That which protects from or prevents this disorder must be of immense service in the communities where it prevails. Preve,stion is better than cure, for the patient escapes the risk which he must run in violent attacks of this baleful distemper. This ''CURB" expels the miasmatic poison of FEVER AND AGUE from the system and prevents the develop ment of the disease, if taken on the first ap- proach of it's premonitory symptoms. It Is not only the best remedy ever yet discovered for this class of complaints, but also the cheapest. The large quantity we supply for a dollar brings it within the reach of every body; and in bilious districts, where FEVER AND AeUB prevails, every body should have it and use it freely both for cure and protection. It is hoped this price will place it within the reach of all-the poor as well as the rich. A great superiority of this remedy over any other ever discovered for the speedy and cer- tain cure of Intermittents is, that it contains no Quinine or mineral, consequently it pro- duces no quinism or other injurious effects whatever upon the constitution. Those cured by it are left as healthy as if they had never had the disease.
 Fever and Agueis not alone the consequence of the miasrnatic poison. A great variety of disorders arise from its irritation, among which are Neuralgia, Rheumatism, Gout, Headache, Blindness, Toothache, Earache, Catarrh, Asth- ma, Palpitation, Painful Affection of the Spleen, Mysteries, Pain in the Bowels, Collie, Paralysis, and Derangement of the Stomach, all of which, when originating in this cause, put on the intermittent type, or become period ical. This {" CURE" expels the poison from the blood, and consequently cures them all alike. It is an invaluable protection to immi- grants and persons travelling or temporarily residing in the malarious districts. If taken occasionally or daily while exposed to the in- lection, that will be excreted from the system, and cannot accumulate in sufficient quantity to ripen into disease. Hence 1t is even more valuable for protection than cure, and few will ever suffer from Internittents, if they avail themselves of the protection this remedy af- lords.

which neutrafzes this malarious poison in the blood, and stimulates the liver to expei it from the body. As it should, so it does cure this affiicting disorder with perfect certainty. And it does more, or rather does what Is of service to those sub ject to this infection. If taken in season 1t expes it from the system 1t is absorbed, and thus keeps those who use 1t 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 Fever, Chill Fever, Dumb, or Masked Ague, Periodical Headache, or Bilious Headache, Bilious Fevers, Neuralgia, Rheumatism, Gout, Blindness, Toothache Earache, Catarrh, Asthma, Palpta- lions, Painful Affections of the Spleen, Mysteries, Collie, Paralysis, and Painful Affections of the Stomach and Bowels, all of which, when arising from this cause, viii be found to assume more or less the intermittent type. This "AGUE CURE D removes the cause of these Arrangements, and the disease.
 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 own accord Hence arises what we term dcclinaat0tiOn. 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 we'll as safer remedy for the whole class of diseases which are caused by the miasmatic infection, than any other which has been dscoyered and 1t has still another important advantage to the public, which is that it is cheap as well as good

When once tried it's superiority over every other medicine of its kind is too apparent to escape observation, and where its virtues are known, the public no longer hesitate what antidote to employ for the distressing and dangerous affections of the pulmonary organs that are incident to our climate While many inferior remedies thrust upon the community have failed and been discarded, this has gained friends by every trial conferred benefits on the afflicted they can never forget, and pro- duced cures too numerous and too remarkable to be forgotten.
