pld and Permanent Cure of =
CH1LLS AND FEVER, or FEVER
AND AGUE!
Every Poison has its Antidote! ~.
cry Disease has Its Cure!

The people of the Mississinm
Valley have long felt the necessity
for, and want of, a Safe, Certain
and Reliable Remedy, as substi.
tute for Quinine, Strychnine, and
other poisonous Drugs, for the cure
of Fever and Ague, or Chills and
Fever. We claim, and the result
will show, and. bear testimony r.
every unprejudiced mind, that ths
Texas Tonic Syrup has supplieii
this want and accomplished this
purpose. It's Tonic, Alternative and
Antiseptic qualities are such. that
none can possibly be disappointed
in its effects. Upon its own merits
therefore, it is sustained. "A sineles
trial is all that is needed to stann
this remedy as the greatest specific
of the age. -, atllat
The ingrediments Of which th;s.
Medicine is composed are simple,
productions of nature aboundinr
upon certain streams in the Stat.
of Texas, and were ever used by the
Ab0rigines of that State as a sne.a
cific for FeHers of all kinds, and 81
pecially Fever and Ague, which
they never failed to cure.
Accelerated Physician, acanaint..
ed with these facts, has furnished
us his theory upon this importantl
subject, and hence the Product
properly named TEXAS TONIC
SYRUP, which we now offer to tbas
public as a specific and positive
cure for Fever and Ague, or ChiiIsJ
and Fever, no matter of how long
standing. a3 Q
Having had indubitable evidence
Of its prompt and certain effects.
from the testimony of a multitude,
Ofrespectable citizens, among WHOM
is classed many of our best Physil
clans, we do not hesitate to recon-
mend this Preparation in all cases
Of Fever and Ague and Chills and
Fever; indeed, from the facts in our,
possession Of its intrinsic value. Il,
would not be too much for us T.
state that when the directions ara
strictly complied with we warrant
q cure in every case, where it s.
tried. 1t. is pleasant to the tastt;
and the cheapest Medicine in the.
world. Therefore, in truth, it may,
be declared the day is not far dis.
tant when it must be appreciated
and used in every household where
Fever and Ague or Chills and Fe-
yer is found to exist. 81 =

Then round this Union Flag wen range,
With patriot hearts we'll swear
That ruins wasting rule we'll change
For Seymour and for Blair. rst
Ger all our broad and varied land

To make the country, 'sheart and hand"
The " Union" as it was.
They fling the glittering banner out,
And lot it float in air,
And swdll the patriotic shout y
For Seymour and for Blair.'

Let bredzcs lift the banner high,
And with its colors sport;
What md mes thereon do we espy?
And what is their import I?

And Trade and Commerce once again,
The Anvil and the Loom,
Our noble Ships upon the main,
Their busy life resume;
The Farmer and the Artisan
Alike the harvest share
With Labor and with Citizen, .t7
With Seymour and with Blair"
To "Save the Country nearly lost,
This Flag We'll rally round;
To save the rights of dearest cost,
To reverence hallowed ground.
The poorest Laborer in the land,
And Bonded Millionaire,
Should join with earnest heart and hand
For Seymour and for Blair"
"One Country" we will be once more,
No rights of States denied;

The Patriots hope and pride.
Fling out the Banner, glittering bright,
And let it float in air, s.t''

meanwhile of its murderous effect Flc
cannot feel that he is approaching death,
because he is sensible OF no pain in fact
he has no feeling, but an indescribable
sensation perceived about the physical
heart
Lord Raglan, commander.in.chie of
the British army before Sebastopol, the
bosom friend Of the Duke of Wellington
for forty years; of whom partial friends
have often said d,-his character seemed
without q haw,-such man died, Ggu-
ralively. Of Il broken neart. In moment,
almost, trouble came like q whirlwnd !;
avalanche followed avalanche in quick
succession, so that no time was left for
the torn spirit to rise above its wounds.
The British Government, quaiiing before
popular clamor, left the brave old man
10 bear the brunt alone, because it could
not afford to recall him, and yet had not
the courage to sustain him. While the
tone of official communications deprived
him of his sleep, weighed heavily upon
him, and broke his gallant spirit, the fail.
urc of the Redan closely followed. On
reaching headquarters letter was in
waiting which announced the death of the
last survivor of large family of broth.
ers and sisters; the next day the death
of a general, his old companion in arms.
Next came the news that the gallant son
of Lord Lyons was sinking under his
woun-s. These things, coming so rapid
ly one after another, in the course of q
few hours rs it were, caused such change
in his appearance, all unknown to him.
self however, that his physician had to
request him to take to his bed, and within
forty eight hours he died, without sup
posing himself to be in any danger what
ever.
"You arc worse than you should be
from the fever you have. Is your mind
at ease 81 SAID quick sighted physician
to aslcepless, wasting patient "No, it is
not, was the frank reply, and last re-
corded words of Oliver Goldsmith. whose
Vicar Of Wakefield and Deserted
Village will only die with the English
language. Heldied at the age of forty
six of a rialady of the mind, from blasted
hopes and unlsind speeches of the world
around him He was aman whose heart
was large enough and kind enough to have
made the Whole world happy, whose
troubles arose. from his humanity; yet
the base things said Of him, so undeserv-
ed, so. malignant and untrue, broke his
heart.
In view of these facts, let parents early
impress on the minds of children-it is
not what they are charged with but what
they are guilty of, that should occasion
trouble and remorsc-that Il carping word
should not blanche the cheek or break the
spirit, so long as there is conscious recti,

ture, unless under sense of duty, and
