 Every poison has its antidote-=Every
 disease has its cure.
 It is A known fact that the powerful miner al medicines so often administered in copious doses in Intermittent and Bilious Remittent Feyers are as perilous Co the constitution as inc levers themselves, while their operation is generally slow and upcertain. and their ef- 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 whefe 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 q medicine like the Texas Tonic Syrup, prompt ond cer- tain in it's action as n 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 ese they may exist.
 The common cause of all remittent and intermittent levers is the mephitic yapor or miasma evaporated by heat from the sell, or from the surface of stagnant water: and 1t is usually when the torrid warmth of summer has prostrated the system and rendered it incapable of contending ehergetically with the disease that the attack conies on. !nly, 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 lntermittents and Remittents, 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 enlargement of the spleen known as the Ague Cake. strengthening the digestive powers and removing those severe pains of the back which arise from the tor pdity or inflammation of the Kidneys. As its name indicates, il gives a healthy tone to the Viscere. which perform the secretion, circula- ton. and excretion. Instead of infieting a 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 mere palliative that ehecks or modi- fes tie symptoms for a brief period but Il radicaI remedy that reaches and removes the cause of the dis order.
 Of these facts t,,e 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 it is rapidly superccding all other preparations of it's class throughout the west Southwest and South, No family residing in any section subject to the sisita- tious of Ague and Fever, or any bilious com plsnt, should be without ii, if they desire to escape the penalties of protracted sickness and it's concomitant dangers, agonies and expenses.
 It is not alone for its curative properties that the Tonic Syrup is to be priaed. As n preventive it is invaluable. The virus of disease often lies hidden in the system for mentbs. and even years, weakening the vital forces, and slowly, yet surely sapping the foundations of bealth and life.
 The symptoms of this process appear in sallow skin, the duh eye, the growing feebles ness of the unconscious victim As soon as these or any other fo.cshadowings of sickness are observed, such as pains in the small of the back, in the left side. or betweea the shoulders the Tonic Syrup should he given and it is guaranteed that Il 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 nnacclmatcd settler, as q sure safe- guard against Ague and Fever.
