If can get it upon easy terms, I shall use great deal of it. l am aware that the use of such articles is contrary to the teachings and practice of d great majority of the regular line of NJ.

For my part, shall make it rule to use all and any means to alleviate suffering humanity which l may be able to eommand--not hesitating because some one more ingenious than myself may have learned it's effects first, and secured the sole right to secure that knowledge. However l am by no means an advocate or supporter of the thousands of worthless nOstrums that flood the country, that purport to cure all manner of disease to which human flesh is heir. Please reply soon, and inform me of your best terms. am, sir, most respectfully,

Having had indubitable evidence of its prompt and certain effects from the testimo- ny of multitude of respectable citizens, among whom are classed some of our best physicians, we do not hesitate to recommend this Preparation in all cases of Fever and Ague and Chlls and Fever: indeed, from the facts in our possession of its intrinsic value, it would not be too much for us to state that when the directions are strictly complied with. we warrant cure in every case where it is tried It is pleasant to the taste, and the cheapest medicine in the world, There fore. in truth, it may be declared the day is not far distant when it must be appreciated and used in every household where Fever and Ague or Chills and Fever is found 10 exist.
 The wonderful operation of the Texas Ton ic Syrup in neutralizing the effects of mala- rous poison in the human system, can only explain it's extraordinary agency in the speedy, thorough and permanent cure of Chills and Fever or Fever and Ague, and all thcir kindred diseases, in whatever form of Bilious Complaints they may make their ap- pearance.
 As it's name imports, it is Tonic of rare and medicinal virtues, composed of pure and harmless ingredients, and are united as to form compound alike skillful in art, beau tiful in appearance, and can be taken with safety to the most delicate constitutions. It is the result of a lifetime of experience and practice in a Southern climate, and was nev- CT known to fail, even where all othe reme- dies had been tried in vain.
 Those who are unacquainted with the ex- traordinary properties of this home produce ton, manufactured from Roots and Plants indigenous to the soil of our sunny South '" land henee adapted to the cure of Southern climatic diseases) are respectfully referred to the certificates of respectable citizens whose names are embraced in n pamphlet which accompanies each bottle; also the en- dorsements of the press in all the Southern States, indicating the many thousand cures already performed by our justly celebrated Texas Tonic Syrup
 The reports from hundreds of Druggists, Merchants and Dealers from all parts of the country, are uniform in stating the medicine is safe, certain and reliable, as substitute for Quinine and the poisonous compounds heretofore generally sold, and is rapidly supplanting everything of this class.
 As home enterprise it especially com mcnds itself to the people of this section of the country, who are now struggling in an effort to do away with old prejudices in favor of foreign produce, and may we not hope foreign .'Quack Nostrums," the proprietors of which in most cases, are governed by mo- thing but mercenary motives, know nothing of the properties of Medicinal Agents, aud care nothing for our interests, except to en- tice our people into the use of their vile mixtures.
 The Texas Tonic Syrup is packed in cases of two dozen.
 Dealers supplied upon better terms than any other remedy affords.
