NormNG that is not wholesome genial and restor

In districts infested with Fever and Aguc. it has

apprehension Of an attack, escape The scourge; and
thousands who neglect TO avail themselves of its
protective qualities in advance are cured by very

Ague patients, after being piled with qunnc for
months in yau until fairly saturated with that dan

The weak stomach is rapidly nvgorated and the
