Ague Cure,
ron THE SPEEDY CURE or

FOR THE SPEEDY CURE OF
Intermittent Fever, or Fever and Ague,
RemIttent Fever, Chill Fever, Dumb
Ague, Periodical Headache, or Billous
Headache, and Bilious Feyers, indeed
for the whole class OF diseases Originate
ing In hillary arrangement, caused BY
the Malaria OF Miasmatic COuntries.
We are enabled here to offer the community q
remedy which, while it 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
"CURB" expels the miasmatic poison Of FEVER
AND AeUE from the system, and prevents the de-
yelopment Of the disease, If taken on the first ap
proach Of its premonitory symptoms tits not only
the 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 Of every body and in bilious Districts where
FEVER AND AGUB prevails, every body should
have 1t and use 1t freely both for cure and protec-
ton. A great superiority of this remedy over any
other ever discovered for the speedy and certain
cure Of Intemitents is that II contains no Quinine
or mineral, consequently produces no quinism or
other injurious effects whatever upon the consttu.
ton. Those cured by it are left as healthy as II
they had never had the disease.
Fever and Ague is not alone the consequence Of
the miasmatic poison. A great variety Of disor-
ders arise from its irritation, among which are
Neuralgia, Rheumatism, Gout, Headache, Blind
ness, ToOthache, Earache, Catdrrh, Asthma, Pal
pitation, Painful affection Of the Spleen, Hyster-
ics, Pain in the BOioeis, Colo, Paralysis and De-
rangement of the Stomach, all Of which, when
originating in this cause, put on the intermittent
type, or become periodical. This " "CuRE" expels
the poison from the blood, and consequently cures
them all alike. It is an invaluable protection to
immigrants and persons travelling or temporarily
residing in the malarious districts. ftaken 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
mittents il they avail themselves Of the protection
this remedy affords.

A Knowing Dog.

A correspondent of the American Agyi-
culturist, at Union Springs, Ind, relates a
tough story" of dog at that place. A
large number Of sheep had been killed in
the neighbOrhood, and an apparently worth
less cur, kept at a grocery, was suspected
of the crime, though for a long time no
proof could be brought sgainst him. But
murder will out" and one day farmer
and his neighbor saw the dog besmeared
with blood, in the act of tearing sheep,
which was still alive. As soon as the dog
saw be war discovered, he ran to a wood
lot about fifty rods north of the spot, and
the men at once proceeded to the grocery,
which stood half mile distant in a SOUTH
west direction, to inform the owner. To
their surprise, on entering the store, they
saw there the very animal they had come
to complain of, lying on the floor, apparent>
ly asleep. as though nothing had happened,
and as clean as though just washed. But
on examination they found him very warm,
and very wet. be having undoubtedly
washed himself in hurry, and run for life
to his master. But the evidence was too
strong against him. Pity that a dog of
such intelligence should not have met a
better fate.
