Fever and. Ague,
from which mankind suffer over a large part of
the globe, is the consequence of a diseased action
in the system, induced by the poisonous miajm of
vegetable decay. This exhalation is solved by
the action of shlar heat on wet soil, and rises with
the waterv vapor from it. While the sun is below
the horizon this vapor lingers near the earth’s sur
face, and the virus is taken with it through the
lungs into the blood. There it nets as an irritating
poison on the internal viscera and excreting organs
of the body. The liver becomes torpid and fails to
secrete not only this virus, but also the bile from
the blood. Both the virus and the bile accumulate
in the circulation, and produce violent constitu
tional disorder. The spleen, the kidneys, and the
stomach sympathize with the liver, and become
disordered also. Finally, flie instinct of our or
ganism, as if in an attempt to expel the noxious.
1 _ f.. I., itrTi nl A A f fh a 1\a ,1..
in the internal excretories to force them to cast it
out. The blood leaves the surface, and rushes to
the central organs with congestive violence. This
is the Chill. But in this effort it fails. Then the
Fever follows, in which the blood leaves the cen- >
tral organs and rushes to the surface, as if it I
another effort to expel the irritating poison throujski
that other groat excretory — the skin. In thii %
also it fails, and the system abandons the attempt |
exhausted, and waits for the recovery of strength f
to repeat the hopeless elfort another day. These
are the fits or paroxysms of Fever and Ague
Such constitutional disorder will of course under
mine the health if it is not 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 docs 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 in 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 iu health although exposed to the disease.
Consequently it not only cures, but protects from,
the great variety of affections which are induced
bv this malignant influence, such as lUmittent
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, all of which, when arising
from this came, will be found to assume m,ore or
less the intermittent type. This " Ague ©uke" .
removes the cause of those derangomenbe, and cares
the disease.
This it accomplishes by stimulating the excre
tories to expel the virus from the system ; and
these organs by degrees become habited to do this ;
their office of their own accord. Hence arises what j
we term acelimatation. Time may accomplish the j
same end, but often life is not long enough, or ie ‘
sacrificed in the attempt, while this “ Aghje Curb" 1
dies it at ones, and with safety. We have-great
reason to believe this is a surer as well as safer
remedy for the whole class of diseases which arq
caused by the miasmatic infection, than any other
which has been discovered; and it has still another
important advantage to the public, which is, th«l
it is cheap as well as good.
