Ague Cure

full tonic, and Is warranted a speedy and
certain cure for Fever and Ague, Chilis
and Fever, Intermittent or Chill Ee-
yer, Remittent Fever, Dumb Ague,
Periodical or. Bilious Fever, and all
malarial disorders. In miaS,natic dis
tricts, the rapid pulse. coated tongue, thirst,
lassitide, loss of appetite, pain in the back
and loins, and eoldness of the spine and
eXtremities, are only prernonitions of
severer symptoms, which terminate in the
ague paroxysm, succeeded by high fever
and profuse perspiration.
il is a startling fact, that q%uinine. arse
mic and other poisonous minerals, form the
basis of most o; the Fever and ag1le
Preparations, 's:Specifes, "Syrups,' and
"Tonics,' i'll tlfe market. The prenara-
tons made froI.i these mineral poisons,
although they are palatable, and may
break the chill, to not cure. but cave the
malarial and their own drug poison in
the system. producing quinism, dizziness,
ringing in the ears. headache, vertigo, and
other disorders more formidable than the
disease they were intended to cure.
