Ayer's Ague Cure, For Fever and Ague, Intermittent Fever, Chill Fover, Remittent Fever, Dumb Ague, Periodical or Bilious Fever, &c., and indeed all the affections which arise from malari ous, marsh, or miasmatic poisons. This is a compound remedy, prepared with scientific skill from vegetable ingredients, which rarely fails to cure the severest cases of Chills and Fever and the concomitant disorders. Such a remedy the necessities of the people in mala rious districts demand. Its great superiority over any other medicine yet discovered for the cure of Intermittents is, that it contains no qui nine or mineral, and those who take it are free from danger of quinism or any injurious effects, and are as healthy after using it as before. It lias been extensively employed during the last thirty years in the treatment of these distressing disorders, and so unvarying has been its success that it has gained the reputation of being infal lible. It can, therefore, be safely recommended as a sure remedy and specific for the Fever and Ague of the West, and the Chills and Fever of the South. It counteracts the miasmatic poison in the blood, and frees the system from its influ ence, so that fever and ague, shakes or chills, once broken up by it, do not return until the disease is again contracted. The great variety of disorders which arise from the irritation of this poison, such as Neuralgia, Rheumatism, Gout, Headache, Blindness, Toothache, Earache, Catarrh, Asthma, Pal pitation, Splenic Affections, Hysterics, Pain in the Itowels, Colic, Paralysis, and derange of the Stomach, all of which become intermit tent or periodical, have no speedier remedy than Aveu’s Ague Cure, which cures them all alike, and protects the system from future attacks. As a preventive, it is of immense service in those communities where Fever and Ague prevails, as it stays the development of the disease if taken on the first approach of the premonitory symp toms. Travellers and temporary residents arc thus enabled to defy these disorders, and few will ever suffer if they avail themselves of the protection this remedy affords. For Liver Complaints, arising from torpidity, it is an excellent remedy; it stimulates this organ into healthy activity, and produces many remark able cures where other medicines fail.

SIMMONS HEPATIC COMPOUND has nothing in its composition that can possibly in jure the most delicate. Its taste is not unpleasant, does not nauseate or gripe, and yet it acts on the Liver and Bowels just as effectually as Calomel or any of the preparations of mercury, without injuring the constitution or debilitating the system. Many people suffer with Torpid Liver and Constipated Bowels and require something to stimulate these or gans. From some peculiarity of constitution, they cannot take calomel or bine mass. To such Simmon’s Hepatic Compound will be invaluable. It does not produce large watery notions that weaken and de press, but acts mildly, producing no depression. It simply stimulates nature to act. Hence how invalu able to the sufferer. Try it and yon will lie satisfied. For sale by Druggists and Dealers. DOW IE & MOISE. Wholesale Druggists, 36-39 Charleston, S. C. EDWIN BATES, t CHARLES K.
