Every poison has it's antidote-Every disease has it's cure.
 It is a 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 lis generally slow and upcertain, and.their eff fleets evanecsent Remedies of this class, hazardous under any circumstances, cannot be used with any approach to safety except under the directions of physician and m the regions where Fever and Agus, 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. 1t IS obvious, therefore, that medicine like the Texus Tonic Syrup, prompt ond cer- tain in it's action as a curative, and equally to be relied on as preventive, Of these dan gerous maladies--a preparation as harmless to the constitution aswater--must be of price less value in the valley of the Mississippi, or wherever else they may exist.
 The common cause of all refnittent and intermittent fevers is the mepbitic vaPor CT miasma evaporated by heet from the sell, or from the surface of stagnant water; and 1t is usually when the torrid warmth of suRamer has brostrated thesystem and rendered 1t incapable of eontending enertetically with the disease that the attack comes on. July, August, September and October are the months during ,xfth all biiiods complaints are most common, apd most violent. The organs immediately affected by Fever and Ague, and lntermittents and Kemittents, are the Lfvcr, the Spleen, the Stomach and Kid neys. Upon each and all of these orgNhs, the Texas Tonic Syrup acts specifically, reguls- ting and controlling the flow of bile, presen- ting pr relieving that cnlargBent of the spleen known as the Ague Cake. strengthening the digestive powers and removing those severe pains of the back which arise from the ter pidity or inflammation of the Kidneys. As its name indicates, it gives healthy tone to the Viscere, which perform the secretion, circuls- tion, and excretion. Instead of innicting q shock dpon the internal, asmineral medicines necessarily do, it invigorates and assists nature and seconds with wonderful efforts which she makes to throw off the disease, It is not a mere palliative that checks or modi- ies tLe symptoms for brief period but radical remedy that reaches and remoses the cause of the disorder.
 Of these facts the invcnto<s of the Texas Tonic Syrup have had innumerable proofs aud they are prepared to establish them by the highest testimohy, Medicsl nsn of acknowledged eminence prescribe II in their private practice, sa1 1t is rapidly ssPerceding all other preparations of its class Throughout the west Southwest and South. No family residing in any section subject to the visita- tions of Ague and Fever, or any billious com plaint, should be without it, if they desire to escape the penalties of protracted sickness and it's concomitant dangers, agonies and expenses. =.
 It is rot alone for it's curative properties that the Tonic Syrup is to be prizea. As a preventive il is invaluable. The virus of disease often lies hidden in the system for months, and even years. weakening the vital forces, and slowly, yet surely sspping the foundations of health and life.
