m^T^E would call the attention of persons afflicted
W* with (’hill.s and Fevers to this celebrated Pill,
which owes its popularity to no puffing, nor to long,
windy certiticates—but solely to its own merits as a
remedy which never faii.s to cure when taken accord
ing to directions .iccomp inyiug each box. This Pill,
unlike many others, contains no mineral, nor an-' in
jurious ingredient, and may be administered with per
fect .safety at all times, to young or oIl.
A.s a preventive against Chills, or air, other type of
Fever, it it recommended as unsurpassed; and in ireat-
ment of Fevers generally it is far superior to Quinine,
or any preparation of i’eruvian bark. .\ trial of its
merits is all that is needed to insure it a favorable
position in the estimation of even the most inveterate
opposer of Proprietary or Patent [irescriptions.
