Ague Cure,
FOR THE SPEEDY CURE OF

FOR THE SPEEDY CUhE oH
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 Origi-
mating in hillary 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 now 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 in any guam
tity.
That which protects from or prevents this
disorder must be of immense service in the
communities where it prevails. Prevention is
better than cure, for the patient escapes the
risk which he must run in violent attacks of
this baleful distemper. This "CURE" expels
the miasmatic poison of FEVER AND AauH
from the system and prevents the Develop
ment of the disease, if taken on the first APP
proach of its premonitory symptoms. 1t 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 AauE prevails, every body should have it
and use it freely both for cure and protection.
1t 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 GER
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 miasmatic 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
fiction, that will be excreted from the system,
and cannot accumulate in sufficient quantity
to ripen into disease. Hence it is even more
valuable for protection than cure, and few will
ever suffer from Intermittents, if they avail
themselves of the protection this remedy af-
fords.

Patients in advanced stages of the
disease.
So wide is the field Of its usefulness and so nu-
merous are the cases Of its cures, that almost
every section Of country abounds in persons pub
licly known, who have been restored from alarming
and even desperate diseases of the lungs by its
use. When once tried, its 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 or 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.

Forty YEARS OF AGE.-Forty years arc
reached at last. 1t once seemed like a long
and weary pilgrimage to make. 1t now
seems but a step and yet along the way are
broken shrnes, where thousand hopes
lie wasted into ashes; footprints sacred un
der their drifting dust; green mounds where
grass is fresh with the watering of tears;
shadows even which we would not forget
The clouds of those forty years might have
been da kcr, the misfortunes more affecting;
their sunshine might have been brighter,
their triumphs greater We will do well to
garner the sunshine of the past and with
chastcned steps and hopes push on toward
the evening whose signal light will soon be
seen swinging where the waters are still
and the storms never beat.
