 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 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 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, and equally to be relied on as a 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 remittent and int termittent levers is the mephitic vapor or miasma evaporated by heat from the sell, or from the surface of stagnant water and it is usually when the torrid warmth of summer has prostrated the system and rendered it incapable of contending energeticelly 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 of the spleen known as the A que Cake strengthening the digestive powers andsremoving 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, circula- tion, and excretion Instead of inficting q shock upon the internal, as mineral 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 cheeks or modi- fes the symptoms for a 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 eminence prescribe it in their private practice, and il is rapidly approaching all other preparations of it's class throughout the west Southwest and South. No family residing in any section subject to the vista- lions 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 it's curative properties that the Tonic Syrup is to be prized. As a preventive it 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 sapping the foundations of health and life.
 The symptoms of this process appear in sallow skin, the dull eye, the growing feebles ness of the unconscious victim As soon as these or any other foTeshadowings 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 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 unacclmated settler, sure safe guard against Ague and Fever.
