We do not often make any editorial mention

to our readers TO call their attention to the adj
vertisement of DR.. j. c. Ayers Ague Cure

We know from sad experience that nothing is
more disheartening than the insidious ap-
proaches and periodical attacks of malarIal and
miasmatic disorders. The remedy prepared by
DR.. Aver & Co. has been in use many years, and
has proved a positive antidote for disorder of
this nature. It is, withal, Il safe and harmless
one to take. being composed entirely OF vegeta-
BILE ingredients, without either qulnine or min
erals, unlike other so.called Ague Cures, and
consequently incapable of producing the deplor-
able effects which follow the use oil. these drugs.
Our western people owe u debt of gratitude to
DR.. Aver for the production of this valuable
medicine. Its timely use will save much SUI
iering. and we /, with The sr,;test
confidence in its ability to DO all that /, prOui5ed
