A rapid and never failing cure for
Fever & Ague, or ChiiIs & Fever,
Every poison has it's antidotc-Every disease has its cure.

Every poison has it's antidotc--Every disease has its cure.
 It is known fact that the powerful miner al medicines so often administered in copious
 doses in Intermittent and Bilious Remittent
 Fevers are as perilous to the constitution as
 the levers themselves, while their operation is generally slow and upcertain, and their eff
 fects eyanecsent Remedies of this class,
 hazardous under any circumstances, cannot
 be used with any approach to safety except
 under the directions of physician and in
 the regions where Fever and Ague, Bilious
 Fever, Chill and Fever, Dumb Ague and their
 kindred complaints chiefly prevail, medical
 men are sometimes few and far between, and
 medical advice almost unobtainable. It is
 obvious, thereforeethat a mediciae like the Texas Tonic Syrup, prompt ond cer- tain in its action as a curative, and equally to be relied on as a preventive of these dan gerous maladies-a preparation as harmless
 to the constitution as water-must be of price less value in the valley of the Mississippi, or
 wherever else they may exist.
 The common cause of all remittent and intermittent levers is the mephitic vapor or miasma evapprated by heat from the sell, or from the surface of stagnant water and it is usually when the torrid warmth of summer has prostrated the system and rendered it incapable of contending energetically with the disease that the attack comes on. July, August, September and October are the months during with all bilious complaints are most common, and most violent. The organs immediately affected by Fever and Ague, and Intermttents and Remittents. are the Liver, the Spleen, the Stomach and Kid neys. Upon each and all ofthese organs, the Texas Tonic Syrup acts specifically, regula- ting and controlling the flow of bile, preven- ting or relieving that enlargement of the spleen known as the Ague Cake strengthening the digestive powers and removing those severe pains of the back which arise from the tor pidity or inflammation of the Kidneys. As its name indicates, it gives healthy tone to the viscere, which perform the secretion, circula- tion, and excretion Instead of inhicting shock upon the internal, as mineral medicines necessarily do, it invigorates and assists nature and seconds with wonderful efforts which she makes to throw off the disease. It
 is not mere palliative that checks or modi- fes tLe symptoms for brief period but radical remedy that reaches and removes the cause of the disorder.
 Of these facts the inventors of the Texas Tonic Syrup have had innmmerable proofs and they are prepared to establish them by the highest testimony; Medical men of eminence prescribe it in their private practice, and 1t IS rapidly superceding all other preparations of it's class throughout the west Southwest and South, No family residing in any section subject to the visita- tons of Ague and Fever, or any bilious com plaint, should be without it, if they desire to escape the penalties of protracted sickness and it's eoncomitant dangers, agonies and expenses. r
 It is not alone for its curative properties that the Tonic Syrup is to be prized, As preventive it is invaluable. The viitis of 1 disease often lies hidden in the system for months, and even years. weakening the vital forces, and slowly. yet surely sapping the of health and life.
 The symptoms of this process appear Tn sallow skin, the dull eye, the growing feeble ness of the unconscious victim As soon as these or any other fo-eshadowings of sickness arc observed, such as pains in the small of the back, in the left side, or between the shoulders, the Tonic Syrup should be given and it is guaranteed that course of this remedy will, in all cases, remove every germ of bilious disease from the system, restore the natural cclor to the complexion, remove all local pain, and renew the bodily sigor of the individual It is especially recommended to the unacclimatcd settler, & sure safe guard against Ague and Fcver..
