DR.. JOHN BULLS
Smiths TOlicSyrQp
FOR THE CURE OF
fever and ACUE
Or CHILLS and FEVER.

The proprietor of this celebrated medicine
justly claims for it superiority over all rem
cd es ever offered to the public for the SAFE,
CERTAIN, SPEEDY and PERMANENT cure
ofAgue and Fever, or Chills and Fever, wheth-
erof shot or long standing. He refers to the
entire Western and Southern country to bear
him testimony to the truth Of the assertion
that in no case whatever will it fail to cure If
the direct ons are strictly followed and carried
ont. In great many cases single dose has
been sufficient for azure, and whole families
have been cured by q single bottle, with per-
fectrestoration Of the general health. It is,
tain to cure, If its use is continued in smaller
doses for q week or two after the disease has
been checked, more especially in difficult an
long-stauding cases. Usually this medicine
will not require any aid to keep the bowels in
good order. Should the patient, however, re-
quire cathartic medicine, after having taken
three or four doses of the Tonic, single dose Of
BULLS VEGETABLE FAMILY PILLS will
be sufficient.
