Fever and Ague, 1
from which mankind suffer over a'-large part of I
the globe, is the consequence of a diseased action ’
in the system, induced by the poisonous miasm o( ^
vegetable decay. This exhalation is evolved by 3
flie actios of solar heat on wet soil, and rises with 5
the watery vapor from it. While the sun is below -M
the horizon this vapor lingers near the earth’ss®. ’
face, and the virus is taken with it through the i
lungs into the blood. There it acts as an irritating M
poison on the internal viscera and excreting organs Ji
of the body. The liver becomes torpid and fails to 1
secrete not only this virus, but also the bile fro® :;i
the blood. Both the virus and th» bile accumulate
in the circulation, and produce violent constit® 1
tional disorder. The spleen, the kidneys, and the 11
stomach sympathize with the liver, and become Mm
disordered also. Finally, the instinct of our or- 1
ganism, as if in an attempt to expel the noxious |
infusion, concentrates the whole blood of the body |
in the iii&rnal excretories to force them to cast it
out. The blood leaves the surface, and rushes to m
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 cc:v '
tral organs and rushes to the surface, as if
anuuitT tfnuct me jiuiowu fiuvugu
that other great excretory—»the skin. In t&~ 1
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 1
are the fits or paroxysms of Fever a-nd Ague. f
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 ewe this afflicting
■disorder with perfect certainty. And it does more, f
or rather does what is of more service to those suit- ■
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 j
system in health although exposed to the disease, fi
Consequently it not only cures, but protean from, ‘
the great variety of affections which are induced m
by this malignant influence, such as Remittent 8|
Fever, Chill Fever, Dumb, or Masked Ague, ij
Periodical Headache, or Bilious Hcwlache, Bilious ;w
Fevers, Neuralgia, lUieumutiani, Gout, Blindness, v|
Toothache, Earache, Catarrh, Asthma, Talpita
lions, Painful Affections of the Spleen. Hysterics,™
Colic, Paralysis and Painful Affections of the IB
Stomach and Bowels, all of which, when arising iff
from tilts cause, will be found to assume more or
less the intermittent type. Tiffs “ Aei'E CuuK" H
removes the cause of these derangements, and cures §;
the disease.
This it accomplishes by stimulating the cxcrc- M
tones to ekpel the virus from the system; and II
tlrcse organs by degrees become habited to do this 9
their office of tiicir own accord. Hence arises what wm
we term acclimuttUum. Time may accomplwh the m
same end, but often life is not long enough, orii ||
• sacrificed in the attempt, while this “ Ague Cuke” *
docs it at once, and with safety. We have great b
reason to believe this is a surer as well as safer s|
remedy for the whole class of diseases which are
caused by the miasmatic infection, than amy other
w hich lias been discovered ; and it has still another
important advantage to ihe public;, which is, tk»t
it is cheap as well as good.
