 It is a known fact that the powerful miner al medicines so often administered in copious doses in Intermittent and Bilious Remittent Fevers are as perlous to the constitution as the levers themselves, while their operation is generally slow and upccrtan, 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 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 arc sometimes few and far between, and medical advice almost unobtainable. It is obvious, therefore, that a medicine like the Texas Tonic Syrup, 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 eisc they may exist.
 The common cause of all remittent and intermittent fevers is the mephitc vapor or miasma evaporated by heat from the sell, or 1 from the surface of stagnant water: and il is usually when the torrd warmth of summer has prostrated the system and rendered 1t incapable of contending energetically with the disease that the attack comes on. July, August, September 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 Intermittents and Remittents. are l ,l. C..1o fl,a unl ,r,l I neys. Upon each and all ofthese organs, the Texas Tonic Syrup acts specifically, regula- ting and controlling the flow of bile, preyen- 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 pidity or inflammation of the Kidneys. As it's name indicates, it gives healthy tone 10 tho visc gre, which perform the secretion circula- ton, and excreton. Instead of inficting a shock upon the internal, as mineral medicines necessarily do, 1t invigorates 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 tie symptoms for brief period but 6 radical remedy that reaches and removes the cause of the disorder
 Of those facts the 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 eminenee prescribe it in their private practice, and it is rapidly superceding all other preparations of it's class throughout the west Southwest and South, No family residing in any section subject to the yisita- tions of Ague and Fever, or any bilious COB, plaint, should be without it, if they desire to escape the penalties of protracted sickness and it's coneomitant dangers, agonies and expenses.
 It is not alone for it's curative properties t,iat the Tonic Syrup is to be prized. As a preventive it is invaluable. Tho 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.
 The symptoms ef this process appear in sallow skin, the dull eye, the growing feeble; ness of the unconscious victim As soon as these or any other foreshadowings of sickness are observed such 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 a 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 10 the unacclimatcd settler, as s sure safe guard against Aguc and Fever.
