Hn^ther Case of Fever and Ague Cured.
A few days ago we accorded an astonishing cure of
Fever and Ague by the use of Dr. M'Lane's Liver Pills
We hare now another to men tion, vie that of Mr
James Sharps, of Madisonburgh, who states that he had
labttad under a very severe attack of Ague and Fever
and was soon restored by the nse of the Pills. Mr
Shaspe also expresses an opinion founded on observa-
tion, that the liver Pills are the best for billions com-
• plaints ever offered in his section of the country,
Although known as a sovereign remedy for chronic ca-
ses of Hepatic derangement, or diseases of the Llver)
the proprietors of Dr, M'Lane's Pills were not prepared
for the frequent, but gratifying evidences of its general
and curative capacity.. In this respect, this invaluable
nflMWa has exceeded their most sanguine expectations'
induced them to hope that it will be introduced into
every family in the United States.
Purchasers will be careful to ask For Be. M'Laxe'3
Celebrated Iivnt Pills, and take none else. There are
other Pills, purporting to be Liver Pills, now before the
public. Dr. M'Lane's Liver Pills, also his Celebrated
Vermifuge, can now be had at all respectable Drug
Stores in the United States ahd Canada. 46.
