Ague Cure,
FOR THE SPEEOY CT7RE OF
Intermittent Fever, or Fever and Ague,
Remittent Fever, Chill Fever, Dnmb
Ague, Periodical Headache, or Bilions
Headache, ami Bilions 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 call d for by the
necessities of the American, people than a sure
and safe qure for Fever and Ague. Such
we are now enabled to offer, with a perfect
certainty that it will eradicate the disease,
and Vith 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 *»Cure.” expels
the miasmatic poison of Fever a.td " 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 the
cheapest. The large quantity we supply for
a dollar brings it within the reach of every
body; and in bilious districts, where Fever
ANI> AOLK y ijuu v ju'juiu itavu *.*,
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 Intermittent*! 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 consequenca
of the mia«matic 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 Intermittent^, if they avail
themselves of the protection this r unedy af
fords.
Ayer’s Cathartic Pills,
FOR ALL THE PURPOSES OF A FAMILY PHYSIO,
are so composed that disease w iti.in the range of
their action can rarely withstand or evade them.
Their penetrating pr< oorfios search, and cleanse,
and invigorate every portion of the human organ
ism, correcting it : diseased action, and restoring
its healthy vitalities. As a consequence of these
properties, the invalid who is lx,wed down with
pain or physical debility is a-tui-hed to find his
health or energy restored by a remedy at once so
simple and inviting.
Not only do they cure the every-dav complaints

dangerous diseases. The agent below named is

containing certificates of their cures and directions
for their use in the following complaints : Costite
ness, Heartburn, Headache a> isinyfn -a disordered
Stomach, Nausea, Indigestion, Pan in and Morbid
Inaction of the Bowes, 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 blond and the restora
tion of tone and strength to the system debilitated
by disease.
Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral,
FOR THE It A I'll) CURE OF
Coughs, Colds, Influenza, Hoarseness,
Croup, Bronchitis, Incipient Consump
tion, ami 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 euros, 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 Ls 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 large part of
the globe, is the consequence of a diseased action
| i„ "the system, induced by the poisonous miasm ot
1 vegetable decay. This exhalation is evolved by
’ the action of solar heat on wef soil, and rises with
i the watery vapor from it. While the snn i- oe.ow
’ the horizon this vapor Ungmw near the earth's sur
face, and the vims is taken with it through the
! lung’s into the blood. There it acts as an irritating
i poison on the internal viscera and excreting organs
:f the body. The liver becomes torpid and fails to
1 secrete not only this virus, but also the ids b om
the blood. Both the vims and the bile accumulate
: in the circulation, and produce violent constitu
tional disorder. The spleen, the kidneys, and toe
I stomach sympathize with the liver, and become
! disordered also. Finally, the instinct ot our or
! gnniam, as if in an attempt to expel the noxious
1 infusion, concentrates the whole blood oi he body
in the internal excretories to force them to cast it
I out. The blood leaves the surface, and rushes o
; the central organs with congestive violence. ! us
is the Ciitr.i,. But in this effort it fails, lntmfhe
i Feveti follows, iu which the blood leaves the cen
■ tral organs and rushes to the surface, as if m
j another effort to expel the irritating poison through
I that other great excretory — the kin. In f.us
‘ also it fails, and the svstem abandons -he attempt
exhausted, and waits for the recovery of strong!a
I to reneat the hopeless effort another day. These
i an: the fits or paroxysms of Fever and Ague.
i Such constitutional disorder will of course under
i mine the health if it is not removed.
We have labored to hud, 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,
j or rather docs 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
I system in health although exposed to the disease,
j Consequently it not only cures, but protects from,
the great variety of affections which are induced
by this malignant affluence, such as Remittent
: Fever. Chill Fever, Dumb, or Masked Ague,
' Periodical Headache, or Bilious Headache, Bilious
j Fevers, Neuralgia, Rheumatism, Gout, Blindness,
j Toothache, Earache, Catarrh, Asthma, Palpita
■ dons, Painful Affections of the Spleen, Hysterics,
i Colic, Paralysis, and Painful Affections of the
i Stomach and Bowels, all of which, when arising
j from this cause, '.rill he found to assume more nr
| less the intermittent type. This “ Ague Cuke ”
| removes the cause of these derangements, and cures
[ the disease.
j This it accompli lies hy stimulating the excro
I tories to expel" the vims from the system; and
i these organs by degrees become habited to do this
their office of their own accord. Hence arises what
we term acclimatation. Time may accomplish the
«n,,wv Vtt.v nffnn lift* in nnt Irtrirr onnnrrh nr iu
sacrificed in the attempt, while this •* Ague Ct'iiB ’
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.
