Tonic Syrup! :!

| | disease has it's cure.
 ! It is known fact that the powerful miner | al medicines so often administered in copious doses in Intermittent and Bilious Remittent i Fevers are as perilous to the constitution as 1 the levers themselves, while their operation l is generally slow and upcertaiu, and their ef- | fects evanecsent. Remedies of this class, l hazardous under any circum stances, cannot be used with any approach 10 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, therefore. that medicine like the Texas Tonic Syrap, prompt end cer- | tain in it's action as a curative, and equally to be relied on as preventive, of these dan l gerous maladies--a preparation as harmless 1 to the constitution as water--must be of price l less value in the valley of the Mississippi, or wherever eise they may exist.
 i The common cause of all remittent and intermittent levers is the mephitic yapor or masma evaporated by heat from the sell, or 1 from the surface of stagnant water; and ii is ! usually when the torrid warmth of summer l has prostrated the system and rendered it l 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 Intermittents and Remittents, are the Liver, the Spleen, the Stomach and Kid neys. Upon each and all of these organs, the Texas Tonic Syrup, acts specifically, regula- ting and controlling the flow of bile, preven- ting or relieving that enlargement ot the spleea known as the Ague Cake. strengthening tho digestive powers and removing those severe pains of the back which arise from the tor lpidity or inflammation of the Kidneys. As its name indicates it gives q healthy tone to the viscere, which perform the secretion, oircula- ton, and excretion. Instead of infcting q shock upon the internal, as mineral medicines necessarily do, 1t invigorates and assists nature and seconds with wonderful efforts which she makes to throw of the disease It is not a mere palliative that cheeks or modi- fes tLe symptoms for a brief period but q 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 eminence prescribe it in their
 
 all other preparations of it's class throughout the west Southwest and South, No family residing in any section subject to the yisita- 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 conoomitant dangers, agonies and expenses.
 It is not alone for its curative properties that the Tonic Syrup is to be prizcd. As preventive it is invaluable. The virus of disease often fes hidden in the system for months, and even years, weakening the vital forces, and slowly, yet surely sapping the foundations of health and life.
 The symptoms of this process appear in sallow skin, the dull eye, the growing feebless ness of the unconscious victim As soon as these or any other foreshadowings of sickness are 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 il 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 unacclmatcd settler, as q sure safc- guard against Ague and Fever.
