Fever and Ague,

from which mankind suffer over a large part of the globe, is the consequence of diseased action in the system, induced by the poisonous miasm of vegetable decay This exhalation is evolved by the 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 the earths sur face, and the viEls is taken with 1t through the lungs into the blood There it acts an irritating poison on the internal vscera and excreting organs of the body. The liver becomes torpid and fails to secrete not only this virus, but also the bile rom the blood. Both the virus and the bile accumulate in the circulation, and produce violent consttu- tional disorder. The spleen. the kidneys, and the stomach sympathize with the liver, and become disordered also. Finally the instinct of our or gansm, as if in an attempt to expel the noXious infusion, concentrates the whole blood Of the body in the internal excretores to force them to cast It 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 If ip another effort to expel 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 it is not removed.

so composed that disease within the range Of their action can rarely withstand or evade them. and invigorate every portion of the human organ, ism, correcting its diseased action, and restoring its healthy vitalities.

AYEE'S Ague Cure,
FOR THE SPEEDY CURE OF

Intermittent Fever, or Fever and Ague,
 Remittent Fever, Chill Fever, Dumb
 Ague. Periodical Headache, or Bilious
 Headache, and Bilious Fevers, indeed
 for the whole class of diseases 0rigi-
 mating in biliary Arrangement, 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 new enabled to offer, with perfect certainty that it will eradicate the disease, and with assurance, founded on proof, that no harm can arise from its use ill any quan- tity.
 That which protects from or prevents this disorder must be of immense service in the communities where 1t prevails. Preuention is better than cure, for the patient escapes the risk which he must run in violent attacks of this baeful distemper. This "CURE" 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 its 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 AGUE prevails, every DOQv SnOuIu nave 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 we'll 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 1t contains no >Quinine 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 miasmatc poison. 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, Colic, 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" expcls 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 i'll sufficient quantity to ripen into disease. Hence 1t is even more valuable for protection than cure and few will ever suffer from Interlnittents, if they avail themselves of the protection this remedy af- lords.

Ayers Ague Cure,

which neutralizes this masarious poison in the blood and stimulates the liver to expel it from the body As it should, so 1t does cure this afflicting disorder with perfect certainty And it does more, rather does what is of more service to those sub ject to this infection. If taken in it expes it from the system it is absorbed and thus keeps those who use it free from its attacks; keeps the system in health although exposed to the disease. Consequently 1t not only cures, but protects from, the great variety of affections which are induced by this malignant influence, such Remittent Fever, Chill Fever, Dumb, Masked Ague, Periodical Headache, or Bilious Headache, Bilious Fevers, Neuralgia, Rheumatism, Gout, Blindness, Toothache, Earache, Catarrh, Asthma, Papita- dons Painful Affections of the Spleen, Mysteries, Collie, 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 HAGUE CURE removes the cause of these Arrangements, and cures 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 acclimatation. Time may accomplish the 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 well as safer remedy for the whole class of diseases which are caused by the miasmatic infection, than any other which has been discovered and it has still another important advantage to the public, which is, that it is cheap as well as good.
