THE SKEPTIcAI CONVINCED. - Every
advance in Medicine, every new remedy
has encountered IN opposition, which
is the test Of truth. Galen and Jenner
only were believed whent they had proved
their discoveries against opposition.
But men are observing, and benefits
always make believers. No incredulity
can stand the silent argument OF good
results. When DIR. Walker proclaimed
that he had produced from the medicinal
herbs Of California IN Elixir that would
regenerate the sinking system and cure
diseases not organic, tho incredulous
shook their heads. Yet his VINEGAR
BrtTERs is now the Standard Restora-
tive OF the Western World. The truth
could not DO resisted. Under the opera
ton Of the new remedy, Dyspeptics
regained their health, appetite and
strength, the Bilious and 'Constipated
were relieved OF every distressing
symptom the Consumptive and Rheu.
matte rapidly recovered; Intermittent
and Remittent F0vers were broken up {;
the taint Of Scrofula was eradicated |
Who could gAinsay facts like these ?
Not even tho Faculty. skepticism was
routed. All doubts Us to the claims Of
the Bitters to the first place in the first
rank OF MODERN medicines were silenced,
and this wonderful preparation is to-day
the most popular Tonic, Attentive, and
Blood Depnrent ever advertised in
America. In common with other jour.
nalists, We are free to add our testimony
to this remedy. It is q domestic medi.
cine, and no household should be with
out it.-Com.

Ayers .Ague Cure,

Sahioh neutralizes this malarous poison in the
blood, and stimulates the liver expel it from the
body. As 1t should, so it does euro this affecting
disorder with perfect certainty. And it does more
OF rather does what is of more service to those sub
(ect to this infection. If taken in season It expels
1t from the system as 1t Is absorbed and thus keeps
those who use it free from its attacks; keeps the
system in health although exposed to the disease
Consequently it not only cures, but protects from,
the great variety of affections which induced
by this malignant influence. such as Rcmittent
Fever, Chill Fever, Dumb, or Masked Apue,
Periodical Headache, or Bilious Headache, Bilious
Fevers, Neuralgia, rheumatism, Gout, Blindness,
Toothache, Earachc, Catarrh, Asthma, Palpita-
tons, Painful Affections of the Spleen Mysteries,
Collie, Paralysis, and Painful Affections of the
Stomach and Bowels, all Of which, when arising
from this cause, will be found to assume more or
less the intermittent type. This "AoUB CURE I"
removes the cause Of these arrangements, and cures
the disease.
This it accomplishes by stimulating the excre.
tories to expel the virus from the system; and
these organs by degrees become habited to do this
their Office of their accord. Hence arises what
we term acciimdtation. Time may accomplish the
same end, but often life is not long enough, or is
sacrificed in the attempt, while this AouE CuRB 4"
does 1t at once, and with safety. We have great
reason to believe this is q well as safer
remedy for the whole class of diseases which are
caused by the miasmatic infection, than any other
which hns been discovered; and il has still another
important advantage to the public, which is, that

Fever and .Ague,

from which mankind suffer over large part qf
the globe, is the consequence of diseaRsA action
in the system, induced by the poisonouB rniasm Of
vegetable decay. This exhalation il evolved by
the action Of solar heat wet soil, and rises with
the watery vapor from Il. While the sun is below
the horizon this vapor fingers the earth's sur
face, and the virus is taken with it through the
lungs into the blood. There it acts as an irritating
poison the internal viscera and excre.ig organs
Of the body The liver becomes torpid and fails to
secrete not only this virus, but also the bile from
the blood. Both the virus and the bile accumulate
in the circulation, and produce violent constitu-
tional disorder. The spleen, the kidneys, and the
stomach sympathize with the liver, and become
disordored also. Finally, the instinct of our Or
ganism, as II in an attempt TO expel the noxious
infusion, concentrates tAe whole blood of the body
in the internal exoretories to force them to cast it
out. The blood leaves the surface, and rushes to
the central organs with congestive violence. This
Is the CHILL But in this effort it fails. Then the
FEVER follows, in which The blood leaves tho
trail organs and rushes to the surface, az IL in
another effort 20 expel the irritating poison through
that other great excretory- skin. In this
also 1t fails, and the system abandons the attempt
exhausted, and waits for the recovery of st-ngth
to repeat the hopeless effort another day. These
are the fits or paroxysms OF FEVER AND AouB.
Such constitutional disorder will of course under
mine the health IL il is not removed.
