riniKSK disease.are common to many localities of tiie
I United Mates; but wherever they prevail, North,
Mmtli, Fast or West, they all equally spring from tin
same miiismnl cause. The great variety of symptoms and
Tonus of disease is owing principally to difference in age,
sex, constitution und habits of the sufferers; but as the
c ause is the same, they will all equally yield to a remedy
that Is competent to overcome or remove that cause.
lty the laws of Nature, every principle lias its opposite,
and for every disease, or cause of disease, there is a re
agent, or in other words a specific remedy. All Malaria,
whether arising from Marshes, Stagnant water, decompo
sition of animal and vegetable matter, or even newly
cleared lands, is tlio same in character and effect; is a poi
son floating in the atmosphere, causing disease to all who
breathe it. in accordance with those unalterable laws
governing the unerring affinity subsisting between o)e
posites, tliei is In the preparation before us. offered to
the public.
The \idanil Antidote to Malaria,
which neutralizes the pcison whenever it comes in con
tact with it, even in the open air. and when taken inter
nally completely purifies tier system nffocted by it of its
baneful intinenee, and thus restores and preserves
health.
The remedy is believed to he entirely new, and un
known to any lint the proprietor, who distinctly claims
the following extraordinary results from its use:
It will instantly check the ague in persons aim have
suffered for any length of time, from one day to twenty
years, and by cOntlnnlng its use, according to the direc
tions. a radical cure will lie effected; the patient contin
uing free from the complaint for ever; unless subsequent
exposure to malaria should make its use again necessary,
in its operation upon tin- poison in the system, it will
immediately relieve all the distressing symptoms of bil
ious or ague diseases, and when the disease is cured, it
will entirely prevent the accession of
General Debility mul Night Sweats,
which so often follow the administration of other mede
eines. The patient at once begins to reever appetite
and strength, and continues to improve until restored to
perfect health.
By its use Fever and Ague may lie banished front
every family and elans in the community; farmers, me
chanics, and all laboring people may lie using this arti
cle as a
Prevent i vc,
And pursue their respective avocations in perfect safety
from ague or bilious attacks during the sickly season,
which is often to them the most valuable part of the
year.
Bim e the introduction of the CURE In every part of
the United States, its success lias been so complete and
unvarying as to have fully proved these assertions in
favor of its extraordinary merit.
When these declarations were made, at the date of its
introduction, they seemed incredible to many, even of
the most candid minds, beranso all the resources of
science had been taxed in vain to subdue ague or bilious
diseases; and what was still worse for ague sufferers,
all their remedies or treatment, whether seieutiiic or
empirical, have been limited to poisonous or destructive
drugs, Hitch as Arsenic, ((niniitc. Mercury, Salicine, Ac.
The effects of these are sometimes worse titan the disease
they subdue, und when suelt remedies fail, or give only
temporary relief, their poisonous effects .ire superaddod
to the poor sufferer’s lirst complaint.
On this account ague sufferers should lie particularly
careful about using any secret. Fever ami Ague remedies,
notwithstanding the makers of them uniformly assert
they may be taken with perfect safety, even when it is
notoriously well known that their potency depends
solely upon destructive poisons.
Now, its a proof that tile Keniudy is not only valuable
on account of its power so cure diseases, hut that it is
also
Worthy of Public Confidence,
Because of its
Singular and Entire Ilanulcssness,
Tito following certificate from one of the most celebrated
cl lists in the United States lias been obtained, ami a
copy of it is attached to every bottle :
New Yoke, June 11. 1855.
••1 have made a chemical examination of llhodes’Fever
and Ague Cure, or Antidote to .Malaria, and have tested
it for Arsenic, Mercury, Quinine and Strychnine, but
have not found a particle of either ill it, nor have I found
any substance in its composition that would prove inju
rious to tlio constitution.
“JAMES it. CHILTON, M. I)., Chemist.”
It ii a stubborn fact, therefore, that this Itcmcdy is
destined not only to relieve the human family from
malarious diseases, hut to do unequally good work by
preventing the taking of other medicines which do harm.
The entire absence of any baneful ingredient makes
this Uemedy not more valuable as a Cure, than it is as a
preventive.
No class of disease is so easily managed as the one
under consideration, if the medicine he taken in advance.
This is owing to tlio diseases being produced by one an I
the same cause, und therefore all, both residents and
travelers, should protect themselves by the timely use
of this preventive, and not wait for the poison already
lurking in their veins, to develop itself in a violent,
attack. Take the Cure as a preventive, and so destroy
the poison licforo it does harm.
Full directions and advice as to diet ami habits of life
prepared liy u distinguished Physician long resident in
a Bilious climate now accompany each bottle.
It w ill often be found necessary to precede this medi
cine by a mild cathartic or uiitihilious purgative. The
very best thing for general use is a moderate dose of
Castor Oil, the object of which is to cleanse the stomach
and free the biliary passages. Keitiemlier that where
this is necessary, or there is eostiveness, it must liK taken
or tiie operation of the antidote will bo seriously ob
structed.
Only Caution.—ln certain specified cases, pour
the contents of one or more bottles of the Cure into
shallow vessels, (dining plates.) and place them in
sleeping room-: for the vapor rising from the medicine,
and also tiie air w afted across, or circulated over the
dregs of it, after the liquid is evaporated, will counteract
aud destroy, to a degteo commensurate with its expo
sure,the miasmata or poison contained in the apartment.
This inode of exhibiting the Cure should likewise lie
resorted to when very young infants are exposed to
malarious situations.
The Indtlcs in which this medicine is put up have tin*
words, “It hooks’ Fever and Auuf. Cure'’ blown in tlie
glass, and on the outside w rapper is the name of the
medicine, (tiie copyright of which is secured) and the
signature of the proprietor. These precautions are
taken to prevent counterfeits and imitations.
The reliance for its success is entirely upon its
actual merits, wherever introduced and used. These

now in use. and capable of performing more work in lei
less time and with less damage to the clothes thanati,

Ho claims for this Machine, that it will cleanse II:
clothes from dirt in 15 to JO minutes and leave them is i
tirely clean, ready for boiling and rinsing. (
It will do an ordinary day’s washing in an hour at,
dm s wit wear the clothes more titan eme-tenth as much >

It is adapted to washing from the finest Muslins t0.t1.,
coarsest clothes. Blankets and Carpets.

and is so simple in its construction that almost any In. ]
can repair it—if it should ever need it—and will withi
(Unary care last from 5 to 10 years.
4gj - One of the great merits of tills Machine in ailditi
to the facility in washing—is that the clothes are lint v,
out by washing. By tlio ordinary process of wasliii.,
clothes are more injured than by wearing. This ml™,
tage together with tiie fact that it will do ton times ii ]
