Fever and Ague, from which mankind suffer over a large part of the globe, in tlic consequence of a diseased action in the ?vstem, induced by the poisonous miasm of vegetable decay. Tili? exhalation is evolved by the action of soW heat on ?rt Boil, and rises with the watery vapor from it. While the sun is below tho hor>in this vapor lingers near the earth's sur face, nnd the virus is taken with it through the lungs into the blood. There it tcts as an irritating poison on the internal viscera and excreting organs of the body. The liver becomes torpid nnd fails to secrete not onlv this wins, but also the bile from the felpod, Both the virus sv.d the bile accumulate in the circulation, and produce violent constitu tional disorder. The spieen, the kidneys, and the Motu ich sympathize with the*-liver, axd, become disordered also. Finally, tho in-!inet of our or ganism, p.-; if in an nttempt to expel the noxious ? ..fiwi m. .--nnceutratc? the wholobfood q| the body in the internal excretonc-j w> mrcw mian i? ??*t it out. The Wood leaves the surftre, and rushes ti. th*> central G7g.-.;.r, with congestive violence. This is the ClllLL. nut In this effort it fails. Thi n Uiu F'bvkr follows, in which the blood leaves the ccn BWtheTcfformwipcittu lamm ty?^ uinor great excretory ? the skin. In this also it fails, und tlic system ubandons the attempt exhausted, and waits for the recovery 0? strength to repeat the bo pel use otTirt another day. These are the fits or paroxysms of Favnu" and Aouk. Such constitutional disorder will of course under mine the health if it is MOt removed We have labored to find, and have found, an antidote, Ayer's Ague Cure, which neutralizes this malarious poison in the blood, and stimulates the liver to expel it from the body. As it should, so it does cure this afflicting disorder with perfect certainty. And it does more, or rather does what is of more service to those sub ject to this infection. If taken ia season it expels it from the System as it is absorbed, and thus keeps those who use it free from its attacks; keeps the system in health although exposed to the dir.ouse. Consequently it not only cures, hut protects from, the (r-cat variety of affections which arc induced by this malignant influence, such as Remittent Fever. Chill Fever, Dumb, or Masked Ague, Periodical Headache, or Bilious Headache, Bilious Fevers, Neuralgia, Rheumatism, Gout, Blindness, Toothache, Earache, Catarrh. Asthma, Palpita tions, Painful Affections of the Spleen, Hysterics, Colic, Paralysis, and Painful Affections'of the Stomach and Bowels, nil of which, when arising from this cause, will be found to assume more or less the intermittent type. This ?' Aoi'B Cure" removes the cause of these derangements, und cures the disease. This it accomplishes by stimulating the excre torics to expel the virus from the system ; and these organs by degrees becorpc habited to do this their office of their own accord; II ence arises what we term aeclimatation. Time may accomplish the same end, tint often life is not long enough, or ia sacrificed in the attempt, while this " AOUB Cwrb" docs it ut once, and with safety. We have great reason to believe this is a surer as well as safer remedy for the whole class of iliseasf s which are caused by the miasmatic infection, than nny other which has been discovered; and it has still another important advantage to the public, which is, that it is cheap as well us p.ood. rRETARED nr DR.
