Ague Cure,
FOR THE SPEEDY CURE OP
Intermittent Fever, or Fever and Ague,
llcmitten* Fever, Cliili Fever, Dumb
Ague, Periodical Headache, or Bilious
Headache, autl 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 culled 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 Lorn its use in any quan
tity. __ ” ' . 1
-That which protects from or prevents this
disorder must he 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 the
eneapest. me large quantity we supply ior
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 mia rnatic poison. A great variety of
disorders arise from its irritation, among which
are Neuralgia, Kheumatism, Gout, Headache,
Blindness, Toothache, Earache, Catarrh, Asth
ma, Palpitation, Painlul Affection of the
Spleen, Hysterics, Pam 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 tlic in
fection, that will be excreted from the system,
and cannot accumulate in sufficient quantity
to ripen into d sense. 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,
FCR ALL THE PURPOSES OF A FAMILY PHYSIO,
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, ard 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
siavolc and inviting.
Not only do they cure the every-dav 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 thiir cures and directions
tor tncir use tn tne tonoutng couipiamis: uertue

Siotkftch, Nausea, Indigestion, Pain in and Alorlid
Inaction ot the Bowels, Flatulency, Lost oj Apne
tite, Jaundice, and other kindred complaints,
arising from a low state of the bod)’ or obstruction
of iu functions. They are an excellent alterative
for the renovation of the Wood and the restora
tion of tone un'd strength to the system debilitated
by disease.

80 wide is the field of its usefulness and so nu
merous sre the cases of its euros, that almost
every section of country abounds in persons pub
licly known, who bare hern 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 v.hat antidote to employ
for the distressing and dangerous affections of the'
pultnon ry organs that ore incident to our climate.
While many inferior remedies thrust upon the
community have failed and been discarded, this
has gained friends by every trial, comen ed bench s
on the afflicted they can never forget, and pro
duced cures too numerous and too remarkable 10

Fever and Ague,
from which m'ApkHd suffer over a large pirt of
the globe, is the consequence of a diseased action
in the system, induced by the poisonous miasm of
vegetable dec .y. 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 tills vapor ringers near.the earth s.sur
face. >nd the rims b «tken with it through ti e

poison on the internal viscera and excreting organs
of the Wkdy. The liver oecom.es ioipid a: <- ;• • ;< ‘o
tenets not or.ly this vItos, but also the
the blood. Both the virus and the 1 ilea: no to
in the circulation, and produce violent ecu. .i'.u
tional disorder. The spleen, the kidneys, and the
stomach sympathize with the liver, and become
disordered also. Finally, the instinct of our or
ganism, ns 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 th» CHttJL. 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 the irritating poison through
that other great excretory — the skin. In this
ad so it fails, and the system abandons the attempt
exhausted, and waits for the recovery of strength
to reneat the hopeless effort another day. These
are the fits or paroxysms of Fever and Ague.
Such constitutional disorder null of course under
mine the health if it is not removed.
We have labored to find, anil 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 free 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 thts-riiaUguaiil iuihii-iice, suefi 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
tion*", Painful Affections of the Spleen, Hysterics,
Colie, Paralvsis, and Painful Affections of the
Stomach and Bowels, all of which, when arising
from this cause, will be found to assume more or
less the intermittent type. This “ Ague Cuke”
removes the cause of these derangements, and cures
the disease.
This it accomplishes by stimulating the exere
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 acciimafatiou. Time may accomplish the
same end, but often fife is not long enough, or is
siiLTriiiceu in me tuurinpi, wimp uns v_ l.kj&
does it at once, and with safety. We have great
re .son to believe this is a surer ns well as safer
1 remedv for the whole class of diseases which are
caused by the miasmatic ir faction, 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.
