our rights, or else they practice an imposition

their guard. We have a good stock of FLUID

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 miastn of
vegetable decoy. This exhalation is evolved by
the action of solar heat on wot soil, and rises with
the watery 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 acts 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, hut 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 sympathise with the liver, and become
disordered also. Finally, the instinct of our or
ganism, as if in an attempt to expel the noxious
infusion, concentrates the whole blood of the body
iu the iuterna! axaretories to force them to cast it
out. The blood leaves the surface, and rushes to
the central organs with congestive violence. This
is the Chili.. 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 in
another effort to expel tfe irritating poison through
that other great excretory — the skin. In thin
also it fails, and the svstem abandons the attempt
exhausted, and waits for the recovery of strength
to repeat the hopeless effort another day. These
are the fits or paroxysms of Fever and Ague.
Such constitutional disorder will of course under
mine the healthif it is not removed.
We have labored to find, and hare found, an
antidote,
Ayers Ague Cure,
which nemtrnlires this malarious poison in the
blood, and stimulates the liver to expel it from the
body. As it should, so it does ewe this afflicting
disorder with perfect certainty. And it does more,
or rather docs what is of more service to those sub
ject. to this infection. If taken in season it expels
it the system os it is absorbed, and thus keep#
those who use it free from it* attacks ; keeps the
svstem in health although exposed to the disease.
Consequently it not only cnrrw, but protects from,
the j»To*.t. variety of affections whieh arc iadneed
by this malignant influence, »ieh as Remittent
