Ague and Fever,
OR CHILLS AND FEVER.

The proprietor of this celebrated medicine justly
claims for 1t a superiority over all remedies
ever offered to the public for the safe certain spec
dy and permanent cure Of Ague and Fever, or
Chills and Fever, whether Of short or long stand
ing. He refers to the entire Western and South
ern country to bear him testimony to the truth Of
the assertion that IN case whatever will it fail
to cure if the directions are strictly followed and
carried out In great many cases single dose
has been sufficient for cure, and whole families
have been cured by single bottle, with perfect
restoration Of the general health. 1t is, however
prudent, and in every case more certain Of cure If
its use ia continued IN smaller doses for week OF
two after the disease has been checked, more es-
pecially in difficult and long standing cases. Usu
ally this medicine will not require any aid to keep
the bowels in good order. Should the patient
however, require cathartic medicine after having
taken three or four doses of the tonic, single
dose OF Bulls Vegetable Family Pills will be sufi
cient.

pfuek Of the Modoe,,


From the San Francisco Chronicle
The Modocs are making a gallant resis-
lance to the troops. Intrenehed in their
lava-beds, they are battling like heroes
against fearful odds If this band Of saw
ages had not cut themselves loose from
The sympathies Of the world by their act of
most unparalleled perfdy, their present he
roic contest would challenge the greatest
admiration even from their enemies.
Tney do not always skulk in ravines and
hide in rocky erevices, but have boldly at
tackled the intrenched position of our
troops. From their lookouts they wave
their banners Of defiance. Half hundred
naked savages against near thousand
troops, armed with rife, howitzer and field
guns, and with more than their own num-
Der of Warm Spring Indians aiding their
enemies. 1t seems almost pity that we
may not admire SO brave and resolute a
band, but that we must condemn them to
a merciless extinction for an act Of treaeh-
cry for which civilization finds no excuse
