make its appearance-and the question
which naturally arises. SIS there no pre-

cided answer in the Affirmative
Anti--MaIariaI Bitters.
If taken in time, and as directed, viii not
only prevent the occurrence of the Disease,
but will, in cases where it has already be-
come established, effect certain cure in
every instance.
No person should be without medicine
so invaluable, and all who have used it
express their astonishment and surprise
that remedy SO perfect and uniform in
its effect should have been in existence,
and its merits not more generally known.
We say to one and all
TRY 1T,
And you will feel amply repaid by the i'm
mediate and perfect cure effected.
The Anti-Malarial Bitters
Are compounded, from a strictly Scientific
Recipe, which owes its advantage over all
other remedies to the mode of combining
the ingredients. All

can obtain it for you, and trial Of

for which it is recommended.
