1t is to be hoped that the poisonous Ague
medicines have had their day. Arsenic and
auinine are not desirable commodities to
carry about in ones system, even for the
sake of temporarily displacing the malarial
poison which produces Fever and Ague.
Ayers Ague Cure is a sure antidote for the
Ague, and is perfectly harmless, leaving the
system in as good condition as before the
Ague was contracted

member of the Baltimore and Ohio Relief

that has been entered in that court by a
railroad employe. 1t will be of peculiar in
terest as il is claimed it will be shown that
the association paid plaintiff $21.25 for his
first months disability, and then refused to
pay any more.
