Every poison has it's antidote-Every
 disease has it's cure.
 It is a known fact that the powerful miner al medicines so often administered in copious doses in Intermittent and Bilious gemittent Fevers are as pcrilous to the constitution as the levers themselves, while their operation is generally slow and upccrtain, and their ef- fecfs evanecsent. Remedies of this class, hazardous under any circumstances, cannot be used with any approach to safety except under the directions of physician; aud 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 ond cer- tain in it's action as a curative. and equally 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 eise they may exist.
 The common cause of all remittent and intermittent feyers is the mephitic vapor or masma 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 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 ncys. 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 Agae 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, cironla-' tion, and excretion. Instead of inf1icting shock upon the internal, as mineral medicines necessarily do, it inyigorates 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- fies tLe symptoms for & brief period but 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 sad they arc prepared to establish them by the highest testimony; Medical men of ackne tedged einnence prescribe II Tn their private practice. and it is ranidly superceding all other preparations of itsVclass throughout the west Southwest and South No family residing in any section subject to the vista 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 its concoinitant dangers, agonies and expenses.
 1t 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.
 sThe 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 fo-eshadovngs 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 unaccImatcd settler, as & sure safe guard against Ague and Fever.
