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

Every poison has It's antidcte-hVery
 disease has it's cure.
 It ia a known fact that the powerful miner al medicines so often administered in copious doses in Intermittent and Bilious Remittent Fevers gre as perilous to the constitution as the levers themselves, while their operation is generally slow and upcertan, and their ef- fects evanecsent. Remedies of this class, hazardous under any circumstances, cannot be used with any approach to ssfety except under the directions of a 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. therefore, that a medicine like the Texas Tonic Syrup, prompt ond cer- tain in it's action as a curative, anu equaiiy to be relied on as 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 remttent and intermittent levers is the mephitic vapor or hiasma evaporated by heat from the sell, or from the surface of stagnant water !; and 1t IS uscally when the torrid warmth of summer has prostrated the system and rendered 1t incapable of contending energctically with the disease that the attack comes oa. 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 Aeue, and Intermittents 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, proven 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 it's name indicates, it gives healthy tone to the Viscere, which perform the secretion, c,rcuia- tion, and excretion. Instead of intiicting shock upon the internal, as mineral medicines necessarily do, it invigorstes 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- fies the symptoms for brief period but a 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 eminenco prescribe t iii thelr private practice, and it IS rapidly superceding all other preparations oi US cEtss tuAouSHoue the west Southwest and South No family residing in any section subject to the visita- tions 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 concomitant dangers, sgonics and expenses.
 It is rot alone for it's curative properties that the Tonic Syrup is to be pri,ed AS preventive it is invaluable. The virus of disease often lies hidden in tho system for months, and even years, weakening the vital forces, and slowly, yet surely sapplng the foundations of health and life.
 The symptoms of this process appear in sallow skin, the dull eye, the growing feeble ness of the unconscious victim As soon as these or any other rfo:eshadowings of sickness are observed, such as pains in tho small of the back, in the left side, or between the shoulders, the Tonic Syrup shoald 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 color to the complexion, remove all local pain, and renew the bodily vigor of the individual. It is especially recommended to the unacclimatcd settler, as a sure safe guard against Ague and Fever.
