Max-abul Fever. —Malarial fevers, constipation, torpidity of the liver and kidneys, general debility, nervousness and neuralgic ailments yield readily to this great disease conqueror, Hop Bitters. It repairs the ravages of disease by converting the food into rich b'ood, and it gives new life and vigour to the aged and infirm. See Advt.

Upwards of s : xty thousands of the sons and daughters of Britain have fa'len during the past year of Pulmonary Consumption. This insatiable disease is the plague of our nation 1 Wliere is the home that has not had some dear and loved one snatched from it ? Have not the departed left thousands of parents and guardians, that will endure a life of remorse, and be daily rebuked by conscience, for having been guilty of neglect ? Whilst the ‘slight cold ’ was neglected as a trifling qilment, Disease was gnawing with silent vengeance at the Lungs. Alas ! when the real secret was discovered it had become Too Late! Thousands of persons would now give worlds to recall their lost opportunities of nipping in the bod a disease so fraught with Pain and Misery! Parents ! Husbands! Wives 1 Sons! Daughters! watch Consumption as a thief—the worst of thieves—the robber of Health, Life, Happiness, and all that is dear to humanity. Baxter’s Lang Preserver enjoys a success onparallied ! Its value to those who suffer from Pulmonary complaints is inestimab'e ! The Slight Cold yields to it in a manner truly amazing! The symptoms of advanced Consumption too arc alleviated as by a charm. Asthma and Bronchitis flee away as Chaff before the Wind. Tne Organs of Voice have imparted to them a clearness of Tone, Sweetness and Purity, which renders the Lung-Preserver an universal favorite of those who exercise their vocal powers in public. It is within the reach of all, and so pleasant to take that children like it. If yon have any Pulmonary disorder, try it. To-day you may be in time to destroy the Canker Worm which preys on your vitals. Tomorrow it may be too late! Life is precious, and hangs upon a very slender thread ! At once, then, send to an Agent for a bottle of Baxter's Lung-Preserver and prove that it really is inestimable.
