Ague Cure

Is purely vegetable bitter and power
fui tonic, and is warranted a speedy and
certain cure for Fever and Ague, Chills
and Fever, Intermittent or Chill Fe-
yer, Remittent Fever, Dumb Ague,
Periodical or Bilious Fever, and all
malarial disorders. In miasmatic dis
tricts, the rapid pulse, coated tongue, thirst,
and loins, and coldness of the spine and
extremities, are only premonitions of
severer symptoms, which terminate in the
ague paroxysm, succeeded by high fever
and profrse perspiration.
1t is startling fact, that quinine, arse
mic and other poisonous minerals, form the
basis Of most of the "Fever and Ague
Ip5Tepairations," ITap@iaa i Specifies" "syrups." and
tions made from these mineral poisons,
although they are palatable, and may
break the chill, do not cure, but leave 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.
AYERS AGUE CURE thoroughly eradicates
these noxious poisons from the system,
and always cures the severest cases. It
contains no quinine, mineral, or any thing
that could injure the most delicate pa
tient; and its crowning excellence, above
its certainty to cure, is that it leaves the
system as free from disease as before the.
attack.
For Liver Complaints, Ayers AauE
CURE, by direct action on the liver and
hillary apparatus, drives out the poisons
which prodflce these complaints, and stinl-
ulates the system to vigorous, healthy
condition.
We warrant it when taken according to
directions.

DROWNED WHILE BATHING.-This
community was again startled and pain
fully shocked on last Sunday morning
by the announcement of another sad
drowning of young man while bath
ing In the Hawksbill near this place.
The facts, as we learn, are briefly these !:
John Lemley, aged about "a years, one
of the brick. mas0ns on the Cave Hotel,
in company with several companions,
left town about o'clock last Sunday
morning for the purpose of bathing.
On reaching the Furnace Dam, about q
mile below town, the young men with
him undressed and went into the water,
while young Lemley, not knowing how
to swim, remained on the bank. Some
minutes afterwards, ne also undressed
and sprang in, and sank to the bottom,
the water being about Is feet deep. He
rose three times, and, though only about
10 feet from bank, his companions see
ing him drowning, all their efforts to
save him were Intellectual. His body
was not recovered until about two hours
and a-half afterwards, when it was
taken in charge by undertakers Warren,
Printz & Co., and placed in neat cof-
fin. At o'clock q special train con.
veyed it to his home In Newtown, Fred
erick county, Va. He leaves wife and
one child, having been married only
about q year. No inquest was held,
none being considered necessary.-Pdge
