Nearly all sufferers from the chills are on the
alert for any remedy thai will take the place of
quinine. Quinine rs objectionable On account
of its taste and the unpleasant symptoms that
follow its use, as well a. the uncertainty of a
permanent cure. Another objection to quinine
is, that ii is always neceS AIRY to some other
tions. A remedy which in every way combines
alt the above properties and that produces none
of those unpleasant symptoms, is just now in
demand by a chill suffering people. Such a
remedy is now offered as Days Ague Tonic,
which far surpasses any and all ether articles
in the final cure of chills.
