Ayers -Ague Cure,

For Fever and Ague, Intermittent Fever,
Periodical or Bilious Fever, &c., and indeed
all the affections which arise from malaTi-
Gus, marsh, or niasmatic poisonss
This is q compound remedy prepared with
scientific skill from vegetable ingredients, which
rarely fails to cure the severcst cases of Chills
and Fever and the concomitant disorders. Such
remedy the necessities of the people in mala-
rious districts demand. Its great superiority
over any other medicine get discovered for the
cure Of Intermittents is that it contains no qui.
nine or mineral, and those who take it are free
from danger Of quinism or any injurious effects,
and are rs healthy after using 1t rs before. 1t
has been extensively employed during the last
thirty years in the treatment of these distressing
disorders, and so unvarying has been its success
that ithas gained the reputation of being infal'
hble. 1t can, therefore, be safely recommended
rs n sure remedy and specific for the Fever and
Ague of the West, and the Chills and Fever of
the South. 1t countcracts the miasmatic poison
In the blood, and frees the system from lts in1iu-
cnce, 30 that fever and ague, shakes or chillS,
once broken up by ii, do not return until the
dlSease Is again contracted.
The greatvariety Of disorders which arise from
the irritation Of this poison, such as Neuralgia,
Rheumatism, GOut, Headache, Blindness,

pitatiOn, Splcnic Affections, Hysterics, Pain
In the Bowels, Collie, Paralysis, and derange-
Of the Stomach, all Of which become intermit.
tent or periodical, have no speedier remedy than
AYERS AGUE CURE, which cures them all alike,
and protects the system from future attacks. AS
preventive, it is Of immense service in those
communities where Fever and Ague prevails, as
1t stays the development of the disease If taken
the trst approach Of the premonitory symp'
toms. Travellers and temporary residents are
thus enabled to defy these disorders, and few
will ever suffer if they avail themselves Of the
protection this remedy affords.
For Liver Complaints, arising from torpidity,
1t Is an excellent remedy it stimulates this organ
into healthy activity, and produces many remark
able cures where other medicines fail.

from their position. Mukhtar called out
all his reserves and attempted, on the 30,
to recover lost ground with 10000 men,
but was defeated and driven back under
the guns of Kars, The Russian losses
were considerable and those of the Turks
enormous.
Pesth, May Pin the Hungarian Diet
to day Deputy Somssich asked the gov
ernment whether it intended to treat the
advance of the Russians into Turkey with
indifference, and, if so whether it relied
upon the guarantees it has received as
sufficient protection to Austro- Hungarian
interests in every eventuality? He also
asked what steps had been taken, or were
contemplated, to maintain freedom or
commerce on the lower Danube and to
guard Hungarian traders against losses
arising from stoppage thereof? Somssich,
in supporting his Interpolation, pointed
out that Russia had invaded the neutral
territory of Roumania, which has been
guaranteed by Europe, practically stop
ping freedom of trade on the Danube.
The enormous army that Russia has plac-
ed in the fieldlmake it impossible to fore
see the limit of her aim.
