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 Remitteht Fevers are as perilous to the constitution as the levers themselves, while their operation is generally slow and upcertaiu, 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 a 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 . f herefore that medicine like the Texas Tonic syrnp, prompt ond cer- tain in it's action as a. curative, and equally to be relied on as a preventive, of thesedan gerous maladies--a preparation as harmless to the eolstitutionas waterzF must be ofprice- less value in the valley of the Mississippi, or wherever else they may exist. .gsr#
 The common cause of all remittent and bintermittent levers is the mephitic vapor miasma evaporated by heat from the sell, or from the surface of stagnant water and it is usually whenrthe torrid warmth of summer has prostrated the system and rendered it incapable of contending energetically with the disease that the attack comes on. July, Aurustn Septelnbur and October arc the months during with all bilious complaints are most common, and most violent The organs immediately affected by Fever and Ague' and lntermittents and fRmittents. are the Liver, the Spleen, the Stomach and Kid neys, Upon each and all ofthese organs, the Texas Tonic Syrup acts specifically, regula ting and controlling the flow of bile, proven ting or relieving that enlargment of tue spleen known Gs the Ague Cake. strengthening tho digestive powers ard removing those severe pains of tho hack which arises from the tor pidity or inflammation of the Kidneys. AS its name indicates, it gives healthy tone to the Viscere, which perform the secretion, circula- tion, and excretion. Instead of intlicting shock upon he 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 notaa mere palliative tbat cheeks or modi- fes the symptoms for brief period but & radical remedy that reaches and removes the cause of the disorder. saa3 3d r
 Of these facts the inventors of tie Texas Tonic Syrup have had innumerable proofs and they are prepared to establish them by the highest testimony: Medical men of acknowledged eminenoe prescribe 1t in their private practice, and il is rapidly superceding
 
 the west Southwest and South. No family residing in any section subject 10 the vista tions of Ague and Fever, or apy'billious com plaint, should be without it, if they desire to escape the penalties of protraeted sickness and it's concomitant dangers, agonies and expenses.
 Ii is not alone for its curative properties that the Tonic Syrup is to be prized. As preventive it is invaluable. The virus of disease often lies hidden in the system for months, and even years, weak ening the vital forces, and slowly yet surely sapping the foundations of health and life. va
 The symptoms of this process appear in sallow skin, thc dull eye, the growing feebles; ness of the unconscious victim As soon as these or any other fo2eshadowings of sickness are observed, such as pains in the small of the bach, in the loft side, or between the shoulders, the Tonic Syrup should he given ard it is guaranteed that a course of this remedy. will. in all eases, remove every germ of bilious disease from the system, restore the natural color to the complexion, remove all local pain and renew the bodily yigor of the individual. Lis espeei ally recommended to the unacclimated settler, as sure safe guard against Ague and Fever.
