A Vegetable Product,

Only used in AYERS AGUE CURE, has
proven itself never falling and rapid
cure for every form of Malarial Dis
order, Fever and Ague, or Chills and
Fever. No injury follows its use, and
its effects are permanent. It rouses
the system to a condition of vigorous
health, cleanses the blood of malarial
poison, and imparts feeling of COM
fort and security most desirable in
Ague districts. 1t is an excellent tonic
and preventative, as well as cure, of
all complaints peculiar to malarious,
marshy and miasmatic regions. The
great superiority Of AYERS AGUE CURE
over any other compound is that it
contains no Quinine, Arsenic, or min
eral; consequently it produces no
quinism or injurious effects whatever
upon the constitution. Those cured
by it are left as healthy as if they had
never had the disease.
The direct action of AYERS AGUE
CURE upon the Liver and Digestive
Organs makes it a superior remedy
for Liver Complaints, producing many
remarkable cures, where other medi'
cines have failed.
For sale by all druggists.
