NEW THIS DAY.

For Fever and Ague, Intermittent Fever,
Chill Fever, Remittent Fever, Dumb Ague,
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 aud the concomitant disorders. Such
a remedy the necessities of the people in mala-
rious districts demand. It's greatsuperiority
over any other medicine yetdiscovered for the
cure of Intermittents is, that it contains NO quiz
nine or mineral, and those who take 1t are free
from danger of quinism or any injurious effects,
and are as healthy after using it as before. It
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.
ible. Itcan, therefore, be safely recommended
as sure remedy and specific for the Fever and
Ague of the West, and the Chilis and Fever of
the South. 1t counteracts the miasmatic poison
in the blood, and frees the system from its infiu
ence, so that fever and ague, shakes or chiIls,
once broken up by it, 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, Gout, Headache, Blindness
pitation, Splenic Affections, Mysteries, 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 AaUE CURE, which cures them all alike,
and protects the system from future attacks. As
preventive, 1t is Of immense service in those
communities where Fever and Ague prevails, as
it stays the development of the disease if takel
on the first approach of the premonitory symp-
toms. Travellers AMI 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,
it is an excellent remedy; 1t stimulates this organ
into healthy activity, and produces many remark
able cures where other medicines fail.
