Permanent Cure Of
CHILLS AND FEVER, or FEVER
AND AGUE!
Every Poison has it Antidote! Every
Disease has its Cure !

THE PEOPLE OF THE MISSISSIPPI

for, and want Of a safe, certain and relia-
Bile remedy, as . substitute for Quiplne,
Strychnine, and other poisonous Drugs, for
| the cure of Fever and Ague. or Chills and

show, and bear testimony to every unpre-
JUDGED mind, that the Texas Tonic Syrup
has supplied this want and accomplished
this purpose. Its Tonic, Alternative and
Antiseptic qualities are such that none can
possibly be disappointed in its Effects
Upon its own merits, therefore, it is sus.

to stamp this comedy as the greatest spec.

The ingrediments of which this Medicine
Ia composed are simple productions Of ma
ture Astounding upon certain streams in
the State of Texas, and were ever used by
for Fevers of all kinds, and especially Fe-
yer and Ague, which they never failed to
cure.
A celebrated Physician. acquainted with
these facts, has furnished us his theory
npon this important subject, and hence
the Product properly named TEXAS TON
nc SYRUP, which we now offer to the pub
lie as n specific and positive cure for Feve.

Having had indubitable evidence If its
prompt and certain effects from the testi.
In0ny of multitude of respectable citi-
zens, among whom is classed many of our
best Physicians, We do not hesitate to re-
commend this Preparation in all cases OF
Fever and Ague and Cbills and Fever; in

Tor us to state that when the directions

President GRANT AND Mrs. LINcoLN.--
When the fact was published that Presi-
dent Lincoln 8 wife had received expensive
dresses, valuable diamonds, and other cost
ly presents. every man and woman, realisipg
That the gifts had been made as brides, felt
that the Governments was Illuminated and
shamed. The gift bearers, however, did
not, so far as the public know, directly
approach MIR. Lincoln, and perhaps, if they
had done so, they would have been repelled
and rebnked. But President Grant al
though he has wife, lets himself be direct
y approached. and has received gifts OF
twenty times the value of all that Mrs.
Lincoln ever got. We don't know that
the donors in Mrs. Lincoln's case were
ever rewarded at the expense ofthe people,
but we do know chat those in Grants case
have been If, then Mrs, Incoln's con-
duct Inundated and shamed the Govern
ment, what shall we say of Grants ?
Should not the lady and the gentleman be
for ever associated 10 mems minds, bound
together as by golden clasps of thought?
The widow Lincoln, with all the trouble
she took, did not succeed in selling her
largeses, but wouldn't there be brisk bid
ding if Grants were to pass under the ham
