Oi?MKcbnrg, Sept 13, 1878 * ly Ague Cure Is a purely vegetable bitter and powerful tonic, and is warranted a speedy and cer tain cure for Fever and Ague, Chills und Fever. Intermittent or Chill Fever, Remittent Fovcr, Dumb Ague. Periodical or Bilious Fever, and all malarial disorders. In miasmatic dis tricts, tho rapid pulse, coated tongue, thirst, lassitude, loss of appetite, pain in the bock and loins, nud coldness of the spino and extremities, aro only premoni tions of severer symptoms which termin ate in tho ague paroxysm, succeeded by high fovcr and profuso perspiration. It is a startling fact, tbat quinine, ar senic, and other poisonous minerals form tho hasis of most of tho " Fever and Ague Preparations," "Specifics," ?'Syrups," and "Tonics," in tho market. The prep arations made from these mmoral poisons, although they aro palatable, and may break the chid, do not cure, but leave tho .malarial and their own drug poison in *tho system, producing quinism, dizziness, ringing in tho ears, headache, vertigo, and other disorders moro formidable than tho disease they were intended to care. Aveu's Ague CURE thoroughly eradicates these noxious poisons from,.tho system, and always cures the severest cases. It contains no quinine, mineral, or any thing that could injure tho most delicate pa tient; anil its crowning excellence, abovo its certainty to cure, is that it leaves tho system as free from disease as before the attack. For Liver Complaints, Ayer's Aoob Cure, by direct action on the liver and biliary apparatus, drives out the poisons which produce these complaints, and stimulates the syBtein to a vigorous, healthy condition.
