risk which he must run IN violent attacks of

the missmatic poison Of FEVER AND AaUH

proach Of its premonitory symptoms. It Is
not only the best remedy evar yet discovered
for this class Of complaints, but also the
cheapest. The large quantity We ~pply for

II Is hoped this price win place it within the
reach Of all-the poor a well as the rich. A
great superiority Of this remedy. over any

Washing by Hand is Wrong,
because the rubbing of the surface of the cloth is
wholly unnecessary and is great waste Of strength
as well az great injury to the fabric.
OBSERVE that the cloth soiled is always soiled
through and through. and that it cannot be cleans
