The proprietor of this celebrated medicin instly claims for it a superiority over all remedies ever offered to the public for the safe, certain, speedy. and permsneA cure of Ague and Fever. or Chills and Fever, whether of short or long standing. He refers to the entire Western and Southwestern coun.ry to bear him testimony to the truth of the as- sertion, that in no case whatever will it fail to cure, if the directions are strictly followed and carried out In a great many eases a single dose has been sufficient for cure, and whole families have been cured by single bottle, With A perfect restoration of the gen eral health. IL is. however. prudent, and Tn every case more certain to cure, If its use Is continued in smaller doses for week or two after the disease has been checked, more es- pecially in difficult and long standing cases Usually, this medicine will not require any aid to keep the bowels in good order; should the patient, however, require catharue medicine, after having taken three or four doses of the Tonic. x single dose of BULLS VEGETABLE FAMILY PILLS will be sum cient.
