T ,1-so results indicate that durinp the period of nearly

I'hiiuge of its chief officer,) its business has been con-
iucted with judgment and prudence. It has been
:■ i.« far successful in an eminent ilegree, discharging,
ttt‘ are informed, all its obligations by the payment
,t yili iut ' /i !rtiU- n ’hollars for losses, witho'it asking a

as many >upp'ise; its hazards are ascertainable, and

wtii. One great source of its security is the wide

WE would call the attention of persons atllicted
with ('hills and Fevers to this celebrated Pill,
which owes its popularity to no piitfuig, nor to long,
windy certificates—but sol(*ly to its own merits as a
remedy which never fails to cure when taken .accord
ing to directions accompanying each box. This Pill,
unlike riiaiiy others, contains no mineral, nor any in
jurious ingredient, ami may be administered with per
fect safety at all times, to young or old.
As a preventive against Chills, or an’ other type d
Fever, it is recommended .as unsurpassed; and in treat
ment of Fevers g^ncrall}’ it is far superior to (.jiiinine,
or any preji:iralion tif Peruvian bark. .\ trial of its
merits is all th.at is neede.l to insure it a favorable
position in the estimation of even the most inveter.ite
opposer if Profiriet.arv or I’.atc'iit prescriptions.
