Preventive and Cure for the

NA1C W
It has been but recently discovered
that the Seven Springs "lron and
Alam Mass" is 4 preventive and
cure for this terri bic disease. DR..
W. A. Greene. of Macon. Ga. writes !:
"After an experience of over thirty
cases cf yellow fever treated with the
Iron and Aluna NaSS successfully, |
am Convinced we have no remedy
equal to it for this disease l would
advise its use in full, large doses,
putting the patient under It's influ-
ence as rapidly as possible. When
this has been done early in the dis
ease, | found far less pain in head
and limbs and less nausea in fact
the attack is rendered less severe in
all respects. From my present ex>
perence, | would place the reliance
chiefly tn tbs medicine. employing
such others as might be Indicated in
course of the disease. - The above
is simply an extract from an extend
ed article in the St. Louis Medcdl
Journal, on the treatment Of this
disease, and is here given that it mag
be read by those having friends. re-
'ntives or acquaintance exposed to
this fatal disease, and as this remedy
can be had at nearly all drug stores
aud mailed to these friends in these
stricken towns and cities. and there-
hy prove the means of saving many
precious lives. we hope none will
prove so recreant to all the finer
feelings Il our better natures as to
disregard this opportunity of sending
relief to the afflicted at once. This
remedy is too we'll known throughout
the Soath TO require further recon-
mendation from us.
REMARKS:
The times may be considered hard, and
money scarce, but few dollars invested
! for the 'Seven Strings'' "Iron and Alum
Mass are worth sl0 tc every one thus
| spent to any person who is not perfectly
we'll and hearty. There are persons that
