Southern Chill and Fever Remedy There being such a great demand jfor Fever remedies in this country, I have been making a special study ^of the different remedies used in smalarial troubles ever since I have jbeen in the drug business. I de termined last Fall upon putting up some preparation that would cure ithe majority of eases of Fever, Ague, Chills, etc., and that would ’take the place of a great number of (Northern and Western Fever and Ague remedies, believing that one [living in this section is capable of preparing something that is better jfor the peculiar class of fever and the debilitating condition of the ’system that prevails during the Summer months. I have far ex ceeded my expectations— Last Spring I began to manufacture JENNINGS’ FEVER TONIC. Since which time I have put up land sold several thousand bottles, and IT HAS NEVER FAILED TO CURE ix a single instance. Meeting [with this unprecedented success I feel perfectly safe in placing a [GUARANTEE upon EVERY bot tle ; so, when it is taken according ’to the directions and it docs-not cf- jfect a cure the money will he re funded. The regular practicing* physi cians of the country have examin 'd the formula of Jennings’ Fever Tonic, and pronounce it efficient nd harmless. I place before the public only a few of the great number of unsolic- | jited certificates received in regard [to its cures. T Albert Jennings, Druggist, Jasper, Fla. THEIR CLAIMS ARE UNFOUNDED, AND THEIR FORMULAS WILL NOT BEAR THE PIERCING SCRUTINY OF CHEMISTS AND PHYSICIANS. MANY ARE WORTHLESS AND • SOME ACTUALLY DANGER OUS TO HUMAN LIFE. The Startling Revelation that Twenty Thousand Infants are Annually Killed in the Uni ted States by the Use of “Soothing Syrup” Which Analysis Shows to Contain a Large Per. cent, of Opium. Mothers Poisoning their Innocent Babes with Laudanum Concealed in Secret Nostrum, “Guaranteed to contain no Opiate.” Chief Justice Common Sense Say Ladies and Gentlemen of this vast uni verse.—This case is certainly the most important that lias ever come before us for consideration, and demands our undivided attention. It is by no means a new issue, for, as far back as we can trace the true science of medicine, we can also see that this evil has existed: —this claim of some to have “discover ed” some wonderful healing balm known only to themselves and some ig noramus from whom they learned how* to make their panacea—1 need not tell the intelligent how uterly false sueh claims are, both as to the origin, and value of these nostrums. We think the test of merit is the only fair test, and the universal sentiment is that every one should be willing to abide by ft.

To ward off such competition by claims of a secret known only to the manufacturer, is to substitute false recommendations for true ones, and to elevate the inferior to a par with that which is first-class.— We have positive evidence, also, that many of these • nostrums are actually dangerous to human life, notably, a carefully compiled statistic on the sub ject of the diseases incident to the ten der period of 'childhood estimates that' Treaty Thousand Childreni Are annually killed outright by the use of so-called “Soothing Syrup/’ “guar anteed to contain no opiate.” Think of this, gentlemen and ladies of the great Jury of Public Opinion, see the loving mother dropping the vile opium mixture that is to kill her child, worst of all with her own hand murdering her innocent babe, laboring under the de lusion that “it contained no opium,” and yet analysis shows that a certain popular “soothing syrup” does contain a large, dangerously large! proportion of laudanum and 20,000 children are'es timated as being the number that are each year swept into the grave by it and similar preparations, “said to contain no opiate.” Pysicians turn away in disgust, from all such vile mixtures, as they have no means of judging of their applicability and are not willing to give blindly an unknown mixture which may be worth less, may l>e dangerous and might possi hly gnit the diseases for which it was recommended, hut no certainty exists as to the strength or uniformity of the preparation^ it is a secret, or pat ient medicine, made with an eye to cheapness of production, and exclusive control, based on a false claim of “dis covery,” and peculiar virtues and me dicinal qualities with an utter disregard f Sash Weights, CORDS, Hinges, Screws, Lime, [Plaster, Hair, Cement, Etc., Etc.

Stanton, Agent, Waycross, Ga. Such claims, however, are short-lived for the public, though deceived for tlio time cannot always be hoodwinked, and are fast finding out the hollowness of pattent medicine boastings. The truly meritorious cannot be cried down nor can it be retarded, it is a part of the march of progress, and the only way to meet it is to do better than others, in all departments where experience, skill, productive facilities and commer cial honesty are legitimate factors. In keeping wtth this view of the man ufacture of medicines which aie and al ways will be in demand, a class ok remedies have sprung up to meet a { popular demand, I allude to non-secret or remedies haring the formula on them, thns enabling Physicians— who are as a class oo busyto manufacture or compound their own prescriptions,— to inspect them and recommend them in cases to which they are suited. The people who take such preparations are enabled to Know what they are taking, and what they may reasonably expect to gain from them. Prominent among this class of remedies I would call your attention to PricKly Ash, Poke Root and Potassium, compound (P. P. P) as a remedv of rare merit, being composed as it is of the fluid extracts of Prickjy Ash, Poke Root, .Stillingia, Sarsaparil la and containing the Iodide of Potas sium, all well-known alternatives or Blood Purifiers, carefully proportioned and combined, so that each table spoon ful represents an exact amount of each of those valuable Blood Remedies. The P. P. P. Mfg. Company use the green Roots and Barks in making the various FI aid Extracts and in this way secure the full medicinal strength of each of the vegetable remedies used. Physi cians endorse it as a perfect Blood Medicine and the public nud in it a re liable remedy for Rheumatism, Scrofu la, Syphillis, Old Sores, Malarial Pois- ining and all broken down conditions requiirng a powerful tonic and alterna tive. It is absolutely harmless, as everyone who takes it improve in gen eral health and gain strength r apidl v.
