Ague Cure,
FOR THE SPEEDY CURE OF

FOR THE SPEEDY CURE OF
intermittent Fever, Fever and Ague,
Remittent Fever, Chill Fever, Dumb
Headach he. and Bilious Fevers, indeed
for the whole class OF diseases originat.
ing i'm hillary derange2nent, caused by
the Malaria OF Mia asmatic Countries.
We are enabled here TO offer the community
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
"CURE" expels the miasnatic poison of FEVER
AND AGUE from the system, and prevents the de-
velopment of the disease, If taken 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 supply for dollar trings it within the
reach of every body; and in bilious Districts where
FEVER AND AGUE prevails, every body should
have it ard It freely both for and protec-
ton. a great superiority of this remedy over any
other discovered for the speedy and certain
cure of Intermittents is that it contains Quinne
or mineral, consequently it produces no quinism or
other injurious effects whatever upon the constitu-
ton. those cured by it are left as healthy as if
they had never had the disease.
Fever and Ague is not alone the consequence OF
the miasmatic poison. great variety Of dsor-
ders arise from its irritation, among which are
Neuralgia, Rheumatism, G0ut, Headache, Blind
ness, IOothGche, Earache, Cdtdrrh, Asthma Pal
pitation, Painful .4fection Of the Spleen, Hyster-
icS Pam IN the B0icels, Cole, Paralysis and De-
rangcmem of the Stomach, all of which, when
originating in this canse, put on the Intermittent
type, or become periodical. This Cure expcls
the poison from the blood and consequently cures
them all alike. 1t is invaluable protection to
immigrants and persons travelling or temporarily
residing in the malariots districts If taken
sionally 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-
tl,on md will from Tute
mittents if they avail themselves of the protection
this remedy affords. ,

COmpound Extract Of SarSapariIla,

the most effectual remedy which the medical
skill of our times can devise for this every
where prevailing and fatal malady. 1t is COM,
bined from the most active remedals that have
been discovered for the expurgahon of this foul
disorder from the blood and the rescue of the
system from its destructive consequences.
Hence it should be employed for the cure of
not only Scrofula, but also those osher a.irc-
tons which arise from it, such as BRUPrIvE
and SKIN DISEASES, ST.. ANTHoNY's FIRE,
RosE. or ERysIpELAs, PIMPLEs, PUsTULEs
BLorcHEs. BLAINs and BoILs, TUMoRS, letter

RHEuMATIsM, SYPHILITIc and MEHCURIAL Dis
EASES, DRopsY, DYSPEPSIA, IDENTITY. and,
indeed ALL COMPLAINTS ARISING FROM VITA
TED OR IMPURE BLOOD. The popular belief
in "impmity oftAe blood" is founded in truth,
for scrofula is degeneration of the blood. The
particular purpose and virtue of this Sarsapa
rlla is to purify and regenerate this vital fluid,
without which sound health is impossible in
contaminated constitutions.

Scrofula, or Kings Evil,

is constitutional disease, corruption of the
blood. by which this fluid becomes vitiated,
weak. and poor. Being in the circulation, il
pervades the whole body, and may burst out
in disease on any part Of it. No organ is free
from its attacks, ner is there one which it may
not destroy. The scrofulous taint IS variously
caused by mercurial disease, low living, dis
ordered or unhealthy food, impure air, filth
and filthy habits. the depressing vices. and,
above all, by the venercal infection. What
ever be its origin, it is hereditary in the con-
stitution, descending from parents to children
unto the third and fourth generation !" indeed,
it seems to be the rod of Him who saws, 81
will visit the iniquities of the fathers upon
their children f'. I..
Its effects commence by deposition from the
blood of corrupt or ulcerous matter, which, in
the lungs, liver, and internal organs, is termed
tubercles; i'll the glands, swellings; and on
the surface, eruptions or sores. This foul COR
rupton, which genders i'll the blood, deprcsses
the energies of life, so that scrofuous constitu-
tons not only suffer from scrofulous COM
plants, but they have far less power to with
stand the attacks Of other diseases; conse-
qucntly vast numbers perish by disorders
which, although not scrofulous in their nature,
are still rendered fatal by this taint in the
system. Most of the consumption which de-
CHild'es the human ldiiIi! HAS 40 .A1y
in this scrofulous contamination; and many
destructive diseases of the liver, kidneys, brtln
and, indeed, of all the organs, arise from or
arc aggravated by the same cause.
One quarter of all our people are scrofulous;
their persons are invaded by this lurking IL
fiction, and their health is undermined by i.
To cleanse it from the system we must renovate
the blood by an Alternative medicine, and in-
vigorate it by healthy food and exercise.
Such a medicine we supply in
