Ague Cure,

Fon TIE SPEEDY CURE OF
IntermitteMt Fever. or Fever and Ag"r,
Remittemt Fever, Chill Fever, Dumb
Ague, Periodical Headache, or Biiio",
for the whole class of diseases Originate
ing in hillary arrangement, caused ny
the Malaria of Nliasmattc Countries.
We arc enabled here to offer the community
remedy which, while it cures the above complaints
with certainty. is still perfectly harmless in any
quantity. Such remedy is invaluable in districts
where these aiiiicting disorders pxss~A. yNis
"CURE" cXpels the miasmatic poison I" fENxM
AND AGUE from the system, and prevents the de-
velopmcnt of the disease, if taken on the first ap
proach of its premonitory symptoms. Itsnoto only
the best remedy ever yet discovered for this class
of complaints, but also the cheapest. The large
quantity we supply for dollar brings it within the
reach of every body and in bilious districts, where
FEVER AND AGUE prevails, every body shetId
have it and use it freely both for cure and potec
ton A great superiority of this remedy over any
other ever discovered for the speedy and certain
cure of Intermittents is that it contains no Qlnlne
or mineral, consequentyit produces no qulnismO
other in furious effects whatever upon the conSu'l
ton. Those cured by it are left as healthy asst
they had never had the disease.
Fever and Ague is not alone the consequence Of
the masmatic poison. A great variety Of dsoI'
ders arise from its irritation, among which are
ness, I66othache, Earache, Cata,rh, ASTHMA, Pal
pitation, Painful affection Of the Spleen, Hy't9'
les, Pain in tie Boicels, Collie, Paralysis and Dr.
ranqen,ent of the Stomach, all of which, wheh
originating in this cause, put on the i"tem'ao,t
type, or become periodical This " CUnE ,, cxpels
the poison from the blood, and consequently cures
them all alike. 1t is an invaluable protection 10
immigrants and persons travelling or temporary!
residing in the maarious districts II taken otea
sionally or daily while exposed to the infection,
that will be excreted from the system, and cannot
accumulate in sufficient quantity to ripen into as
ease. Hence it is even more valuable tor pTo.ee'
ton than cure and few will ever suffer from Inter
mittents if they avail themselves of the protec''o"
this remedy affords.
