AYER’S
Ague Cure,
FOR THE SPEEDY CURE OF
Intermittent Fever, or Fever and Ague,
Remittent Fever, Chill Fever, Dumb
Ague, Periodical Headache, or Bilious
Headache, and Bilious Fevers, indeed
for the whole class of diseases origi
nating in biliary derangement, caused
by the Malaria of miasmatic countries.
No one remedy is louder called for by the
necessities of the American people than a sure
and safe cure for Fever and Ague. Such
we are now enabled to offer, with a perfect
certainty that it will eradicate the disease,
and with assurance, founded on proof, that
no harm can arise from its use in any quan
tity.
That which protects from or prevents this
disorder must be of immense service in the
communities where it prevails. Prevention is
better than cure, for the patient escapes the
risk which he must run in violent attacks of
this baleful distemper. This “ Cuke ” expels
the miasmatic poison of Fever and Ague
from the system and prevents the develop
ment of the disease, if taken on the first ap
proach of its premonitory symptoms. It is
not only the best remedy ever yet discovered
for this class of complaints, but also thj
rPViP lnrorp miflntitv vvp snrmlv ■fnr

a dollar brings it within the reach of every
body; and in bilious districts, where Fever
and Ague prevails, every body should have it
and use it freely both for cure and protection.
It is hoped this price will place it within the
reach of all—the poor as well as the rich. A
great superiority of this remedy over any
other ever discovered for the speedy and cer
tain cure of Intermittents is, that it contains
no Quinine or mineral, consequently it pro
duces no quinism or other injurious effects
whatever upon the constitution. Those cured
by it are left as healthy as if they had never
had the disease.
Fever and Ague is not alone the consequence
of the miasmatic poison. A great variety of
disorders arise from its irritation, among which
are Neuralgia, Rheumatism, Gout, Headache,
Blindness, Toothache, Earache, Catarrh, Asth
ma, Palpitation, Painful Affection of..the
Spleen, Hysterics, Pain in the Bowels, Colic,
Paralysis, and Derangement of the Stomach,
all of which, when originating in this cause,
put on the intermittent type, or become period
ical. This “ Cure ” expels the poison from
the blood, and consequently cures them all
alike. It is an invaluable protection to immi
grants and persons travelling or temporarily
residing in the malarious districts. If taken
occasionally or daily while exposed to the in
fection, that will be excreted from the system,
and cannot accumulate in sufficient quantity
to ripen into disease. Hence it is even more
valuable for protection than cure, and few will
ever suffer from Intermittents, if they avail
themselves of the protection this remedy af
fords.
Ayer’s Cathartic Pills,
FOR ALL THE PURPOSES OF A FAMILY PHYSIC,
are so composed that disease within the range of
their action can rarely withstand or evade them.
Their penetrating properties search, and cleanse,
and invigorate every portion of the human organ
ism, correcting its diseased action, and restoring
its healthy vitalities. As a consequence of these
properties, the invalid who is bowed down with
pain or physical debility is astonished to find his
health or energy restored by a remedy at once so
simple and inviting.
Not only do they cure the every-day complaints
of every body, but also many formidable and
dangerous diseases. The agent below named is
pleased to furnish gratis my American Almanac,
containing certificates of their cures and directions
fnr fViDii* neo in ffillntrintr nnmnlnintu •
ness, Heartburn, Headache arising from disordered
Stomach, Nausea, Indigestion, Pain in and Morbid
Inaction of the Bowels, Flatulency, Loss of Appe
tite, Jaundice, and other kindred complaints,
arising from a low state of the body 'or obstruction
of its functions. They are an excellent alterative
for the renovation of the blood and the restora
tion of tone and strength to the system debilitated
by disease.
Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral,
FOR THU RAl’Il) CURE OF
Coughs, Colds, Influenza, Hoarseness,
Croup, Bronchitis, Incipient Consump
tion, and for the relief of Consumptive
Patients in advanced stages of the
disease.
So wide is the field of its usefulness and so nu
merous are the cases of its cures, that almost
every section of country abounds in persons pub
licly known, who have been restored from alarming
and even desperate diseases of the lungs by its
use. When once tried, its superiority over every
other medicine of its kind is too apparent to escape
observation, and where its virtues are known, the
public no longer hesitate what antidote to employ
for the distressing and dangerous affections of the
pulmonary organs that are incident to our climate.
While many inferior remedies thrust upon the
community have failed and been discarded, this
has gained friends by every trial, conferred benefits
on the afflicted they can never forget, and pro
duced cures too numerous and too remarkable to
be forgotten.

Fever and Ague,
from which mankind suffer over a latge part of
the globe, is the consequence of a diseased, action
in the system, induced by the poisonous miasm of
vegetable decay. This exhalation is evolved by
the action of solar heat on wet 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, 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, the instinct of our or
ganism, as if in an attempt to expel the noxious
infusion, concentrates the whole blood of the body
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 Chili,. But in this effort it fails. Ihen the
Fever follows, in which the blood leaves the cen
tral organs and rushes to the surface, as if in
another effort to expel the irritating poison through
that other great excretory — the skin. In this
also it fails, and the system 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 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 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 in season it expels
it from the system as it is absorbed, and thus keeps
those who use it fro« from its attacks; keeps the
system in health although exposed to the disease.
Consequently it not only cures, hut protects from,
the great variety of affections which are 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 ana Bowels, all of which, when arising
from this cause, will be found to assume more or
less the intermittent type. This “ Ague Cure ”
removes the cause of these derangements, and cures
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
we term accumulation. Time may "accomplish the
same end, but often life is not long enough, or is
sacrificed in the attempt, while this “ Ague Cure ”
does it at once, 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 are
caused by the miasmatic infection, than any other
which has been discovered; and it has still another
important advantage to the public, which is, that
it is cheap as well as good.
