It is know n fact that the powerful miner

It is a known fact that the powerful miner al medicines so often administered in copious doses in Intermittent and Bilious Remittent Feyers are as perilous to the constitution as the levers themselves, while their operation is generally slow and upcertain, and their ef- fects evanecscnt. Remedies of this class, hazardous under any circumstances, cannot be used with any approach to safety except under the directions of a physician; and Tn the regions where Fever and Aguc, Bilious Fever, Chill and Fever, Dumb Ague and their kindred complaints chiefly prevail, medical men are sometimes few and far between, and ID edical advice almost unobtainable. It is obvious, therefore, that medicine like the Texas Tonic Syrup, prompt ond cer- tain in it's action as n curative. and equally to be relied on as preventive, of these dan gerous maladies--a preparation as harmless 10 the constitution as swater--must be ofprice- less value in the valley of the Mississippi, or wherever else they may exist.

 Of these facts theeinrensors of the Texas Tonic Syrup have had innumerable proofs and they are prepared to establish them by the highest testimony; Medical men oi Acknowledged eminence prescribe il in their private practice, and it is rapidly snperceaipg all other preparations of it's class iAreugaoal the west Southwest and South No family residing in any section subject to tue visita- tions of Ague and Fever, or any bilious com plaint, should be without it, if they desire to escape the penalties of protractcd sickness and it's concomitant dangers, agonies and expenses,
 1t is not alone for it's curative properties that the Tonic Syrup is to be prized. As a preventive it is iayalssble. The virus of disease often lies hidden in the system for months, and even years, weakening the vital forces, and slowly, yet surely sapping the foundations of health and life.
