For Fever and Ague, Intermittent Fever,
Chill Fever, Hemittent Fever, Dumb ARue,
Periodical or Bilious Fever, &C, and indeed
all the affections which arise from malari-
Gus, marsh, or miasmatic poisons.
This is a compound remedy, prepared with
scientific skill from vegetable ingredients, which
rarely fails to cure the severest cases of Chills
and Fever and the concomitant disorders. Such
a remedy the necessities of the people in mala-
rious districts demand. Its great superiority
over any other medicine yetdiscovered for the
cure Of Intermittents is, that 1t contains no qui.
nine or mineral, and those who take 1t are free
from danger of quinism or any injurious effects,
and are as healthy after using II as before 1t
has been extensively employed during the last
thirty years in the treatment of these distressing
disorders, and so unvaiying has been its succcSR
that ithas gained the reputation of being infal.
lible. 1t can, thcSefore, be safely recommended
as a sure remedy and specific for the Fever and
Ague of the West, and the Chills and Fever Of
the South. 1t counteracts the miasmatic poison
in the blood, and frees the system from its inHu-
ence, so that fever and ague, shakes or chills,
once broken up by II, do not return until the
disease is again contracted.
The great variety of disorders which arise from
the irritation of this poison such as Neuralgia,
rheumatism, GDut, Headache, Kindness,
Toothache, Earache, Catarrh, Asthma, Pal
pitatiOn, Splenic Affections, Hysterics, Pain
in the Bowels, Collie, Paralysis, and dcrangc-
Of the Stomach, all of which become intermt-
tent or periodical, have no speedcr remedy than
AYERS AGUE CURE, which cures them all alike,
and protects the system from future attacks. As
a preventive, it is Of immense service In those
communities where Fever and Ague prevails, as
it stays the development of the disease If taken
on the first approach the premonitory symp-
toms. Travellers and temporary residents are
thus enabled to defy these disorders, and few
will ever suffer II they avail themselves OF tho
protection this remedy affords.
For Liver Complaints, arising from torpdty,
it is an excellent remedy; it stimulates this organ
into healthy activity, and produces many remark
able cures where other medicines fail.

E0UND TO KEEP PACE.

There are hardware men in Detroit who
keep a cook-stove at the store door as o
sign, and that the stove may not be in-
jured by rust they paint it over. The
other day one of them who had stove
with red legs, white covers ana blue
top secured an old farmer for a customer.
The farmer stipulated for stove ''just
like that and ordered it sent home by the
team of a neighbor. A stove the size and
pattern was selected and sent away in
good shape, and all was lovely until the
next day. Then the farmer and his wife
came in with their own team, having the
stove in the wagon. The husband held
the lines while the wife entered the store
and remarked:
"When we buy certain kind of stove
we don't like to be put of with an
other"
"Wby, madam, isn't that stove all right2''
asked the man that sold it.
"No, sir, it isn't! you sold my old man
o stove with red legs and white covers, and
a blue border around the top, and that
one out in the wagon is nothing but q
scrub looking old black stove!"
"Why-why-" he tried to explain
but she waved him around and declared;
"We're Old folks, and we live out among
the frogs and owls, but we keep pace
with the styles just as much as any one
and you can't palm off any scrub stoves
on us!"
The men could hardly lift ten pounds
apiece as they exchanged the nicely pol
ished stove for the one with red legs, bu
the old lady thought it was because they
were so mad.
'There-tha stove has got some ton,
about it :" she muttered as it was LOADED
up. II don't want to appear capturous
but if style demands a red-legged stow
then I go in for the gorgeous with the res
of 'em, and I'll gid the stove pipe Il
