I-X’. m Ague Gure la a purely vegetable bitter speedy and powerful and tonic, and is warranted a cer¬ tain cure for Fever and Ague, Chills and Fever, Intermittent or Chill Fever, Re¬ mittent Fever, Dumb Ague, Periodical or Bilious Fever, and all malarial dis¬ orders. In miasmatic districts, lassitude, the loss rapid of pulse, coated tongue, the thirst, and cold¬ appetite, pain in back and loins, ness premonitions of the spine of severer and extremities, symptoms are which only terminate in the ague paroxysm, succeeded by high fever and profuse perspiration. It is a startling fact, that quinine, arsenic, and other poisonous minerals form the basis of most of the “ Fever and Ague 7 Prepara¬ tions,’’ “Specifics," “Syrups,' and “Ton¬ ics,” in the market. The preparations made from these mineral poisons, although they are palatable, and may break the cnill, do not cure, but leave tbe malarial and their own drug poison in ringing the system, in the producing head¬ quinism, dizziness, ears, ache, vertigo, and other disorders more for¬ midable than tbe disease they were intended to cure. Aver’s Ago* Cgbe thoroughly eradicates these noxious poisons from the system, and always cures the severest cases. It contains no quinine, mineral, or any thing that could injure the roost delicate patient; and its crowning excellence, above its cer taint ty to cure, is that it leaves the system as free Horn disease as before the attack. For liver Complaints, the Ayrb's Agu* Cure, by direct action on liver and bil¬ iary apparatus, drives out the poisons which produce these complaints, and stimulates the system to a vigorous, healthy condition. "We warrant it when taken according to directions. Prepared by Dr. J. C. Ayer it Co., Practical and Analytical Chemists, Lowell, Mass. SOLD BY ALL DRCOG1ST3 ZVEBTWREBB.
