A rapid and never failing cure for
Fever & Ague, or ChilIs & Fever.

Every poison has its antidotc@Eyery disease has it's cure.
 Tt is a known fact that the powerful miner al medicines so often tihinistered in copious doses in Intermittent and Billious Remittent Fevers are as perilous to the substitution as the levers themselves, while their operation is generally slow and upcertain, and their eff fects evanecsent. Remedies of this class, hazardous under'any circumstances, cannot be used with any approach to safety except under the directions of a physician; and ill 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, therefore. that medicine like the Texas Tonic Syrf,p, prompt ond cer- tain in its action as curative, and equally to be relied on as n preventive, of these dan gerous maladies--a preparation as harmless to the constitution as watcr--must be of price less value in the valley of the Mississippi, or wherever eIse they may exist,
 The common cause of all remittent and intermittent levers is the mephitic vapor or miiisIiia evaporatcd by heat from the sell, or from the surface of stagnant water: and it is usually when the torrid warmth of snmiher has prostrated the system and rendered il incapable of contending energetically With the disease that the attack comes on.

The organs immediately affected by Fever and Ague and lntcrmittents and Remittcnts- are the Liver the Spleen, the Stomach and Kid neys Upon each and all fthese 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 pidiIy or inflammation of the Kidneys. As its name indicates, il gives Il healthy tone to the Vscere, which perform the secretion. circuia- tion, and cxcretion. Instead of intiicting shock upon the internal. as mineral medicines necessarily do. it invigorates and assists nature and sec6nds with wonderful efforts which she makes to throw off the disease It is riot h mere pallistfse flat checks or modi- ies tie symptoms for brief period but d radical remedy that reaches and removes the cause of the disorder.
 Of these facts the inventors of the Texas Tonic Syrup have had innumerable proofs and they are prepared to establish them by the highest testimony; Medical men of acknowledged e'hiheice Freseiib, 1, In their private practice and 1t IS rapidly supercedine all other preparations of it's class throughout the west Southwest and South. No family resaing in any section subjcci to the visita- tions of Ague and Fever, or any bilious com paint, should be without il, ii they desire to escape the penalties of prvtraeted sickness aud Us coAconiitant dangers, e5uA!cs alio expenses.
 IL is not alone for its curative properties iiat Inc Tonic Syrup is to be prizcd. As preventive it is invaluable Ehe virus oi disease often lies hidden in 'rhe system for months, and even years, weakening the vital forces, and slowly, yet surely sapping Inc foundations of health and life.
