All Malaria, whether arising from Marshes, stagnant water, decani po sition of animal and vegetable matter, or even llewiy cleared lands, is the same in character and effect: is a pri son floating in the atmonpherc, causing disease to all w ho breathe it.

Since the introduction of the Cl'BK in every part of Hie United Mates, its success lias been so complete and unvarying as to have fully proved tlu sg 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, because all the resources cl’ science had been taxed in vain to subdue ague or bilious v)isenses; and what was still worse for ague sufferers, all their remedies or treatment, whether scientific or empirical, have been limited to poisonous or destructive drugs, such as Arsenic. Quinine, Mercury, Salicinc. Ac. The effects of these are sometimes worse than the disease they subdue, and when such remedies fail, or give only temporary rellvf, their poisonous effects .ire superadded to tlie poor sufferer’s first complaint. On this account ague sufferers should be particularly careful about using any secret Fc\. r and Ague remedies, notwithstanding the makers of them uniformly assert they may be taken with perfect safety, even when it is j notoriously well known that their potency depends ; solely upon destructive poisons.

The entire absence ol* any baneful ingredient makes tliis Kerne l v 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 be talon in advance. This is owing to the diseases being produced by one and tin* same cause, and therefore all. both residents and travelers, should protect themselves by the timely use of this preventive, and not- wait for tlie poison already lurking in their veins, to develop itself in a violent attack. Take the Cure as a preventive, and so destroy tlie poison before it does harm. Full directions and advice as to diet and habits of life prepared by a distinguished Physician long resident in i a bilious climate now accompany each bottle.

The eminent chem ist. Dr. .1. R.Chilton, of New York, certifies to its per j feet innocence. It is therefore optional with all to have : the Fever and Ague or not, j ust as they please. 1 vim also say that a great many of my largest eusto j mors arc those who a year ago were reluctant even to | take the Cure on commission. They thought its great j claims and pretensions could not he realised: Now they endorse them all, and it will be noticed that the letter's of which 1 publish su li immense quantities are always new and late dates—altogether they would more than till any newspaper, and prove the fact of a greater suc cess and sale than ever attended any other Ague Remedy. The Crowning Olory of the Cure is its HARMLESS CHARACTER, which allows its free use as a preventive. Thus protected by using a bottle or two during the warm and sickly sea sons. not a mivu woman or child in the United States would ever have a single attack of Fever and Ague. Bilious or Yellow Fever, or any form of disease arising from the atmospheric poison Malaria, to which the j Cure is a perfect antidote.
