Wl organization of the TEXAS BRANCH o
the MOUND CITY MUTUAL LIFE INSURANCE
COMPANY, constitutes it substantially a HOME
COMPANY- .
Pirst—Because its business management is in the
bands of our own citizens, well known to the com-
munity, constituting a guarantee to Policy-holders
that their claims will be justly considered and
promptly paid when due; and
8«co*di.y—The declared and settled poller of the
Parent Company is to invest a large proportion of
tile profits of the Branches (upon the recommenda-
tion of the local directors in the States where the
profits have accrued, and thus to assist in the devel-
opment of heme enterprises. In this manner, the
'("Mound City Mutual" proposes to contribute to tue
feneral prosperity of the St^te, instead of draining
; of its capital to eweH the wealth of the monieo
lords of the North and East.

CELEBRATED
SMITH'S TONIC SYRUP
I0R1THE CURE! OFj
AGUE AND FEVER
Chills and.Fever,
Ti
_ HE proprietor of this celebrated medicine Justly
claims for it a superiority over all remedies evff
offered to the public for th9 safe certain speedy and
permanent cure of Ague and Fc-ver, or ChilisAnd
Fever, whether of short or lone standing. He jefers
to the entire Western and Soutbwe tern country to
bear him testimony to the truth of the assertion that
in no case whatever will It fail :o cure, if the direc
tions are strictly followed and carried oAt. In a
great many cases a single dose has been sgmoient for
a cure, and whole families have been curarby a single
bottle, with a perfect restoration of the general
health. It is however prudent, and in every case
more ceitain to cure if its use is continued in smaller
dosei for a week or two after the disease has been
checked, more especially In difficult and long stand-
ing cases. Usually this medicine will not require my
aid to keep the bowels in good order; should the
patfent, however, require a cathartic medicine, after
having taken three or four doses of the Tonic, a
single dose of BULL'8 VEGETABLE FAMILY
PILLS will be sufficient.

I HAVE received many testimonials from profes-*
fessional and medical men, as my almanacs and
various publications have shown, all of which are
renulne. The following from a highly educated and
popular physician in Georgia, is certainly oneof the
most sensible communications I have ever received.
Dr. Clement knows exactly what he speaks of, and his
testimony deserves to be written in let_ers of gold.

your '• Worm Destroyer" Beveral trials, and find it
wonde rlullj efficacious. It has not failed in a single
instance to havethe wished for effect. 1 < m doing a
pretty large country practice, and have dally use for
some article of the hind. I am free to confess that I
know of no nemedy recommended by the ablest au-
thors that is so certain and 4peedy in its effects. On
the contrary hey are uncertain in the extreme. My
object in writing you is to find out upon what terms I
can get the medicine directly from you. if I can get
it upon easy terms, I shall use a great deal of it. I
am aware that the use of such articles in contrary
to the teachings and practice of a| great majority of.
the regular line of M D's, but I see no just cause or
good sense in discarding a remedy which we know to
be efficient, simply because we miy be ignorant of its
combination. For my part, I shall make it a rule to
use all nd any means to alleviate suffering humanity
which X may be able to command—not hesitating
because some one more ingenious that myself may
have learned its effects first, and secured the sole
right to secure that knowledge. However, I am by
no means an advocate or supporter ot the thousands
of worthless nostrums that flood the country, that
purport to cure all manner of diseases to which hu-
man flesh is heir. Please reply soon and inform m.
of your best terms.

qualities it possesses, I send you the following state-
ment of my case.
I wa- wounded about two yean ago—was taken

preparation unsupassed by any, and is dally prescribed

—viz: CHILLS AND FEVER OR FEVER AND

OR PERNICI0U8 FEVER, A D BILIOUS RB
MITTENT FEVER.
It is also the best remedy for the cure of Inlarged
Spleen (Fever Cake) General Debility, and Periodic
Neuralgia.
Dr wilhoft's Anti-Periodic, unlike most other
remedies of ts kind, pretends to cure but one class
of diseases, namely, those caused by malarial poison-
ing of the blood. Chills and Fever. Dumb Chills.
Congestive Chills, Bilious Fever, etc- all d«pend
upon malaria, and the Anti-Perio ic of Dr. Wilhoft
we consider bejond a dnubt. a certain specific against
it, because it never fails to effect a permanent cure.
Even in those obstinate cases in which Q iioine.
Arsenic or Prussiate of I^on had been us-d in vain,
this remedy effected a cure in two or three da- s,
without a relapse ever occurring.
The advantage that the Anti-Periodic possesses
above all other remedi a of this class, c nsisrs in the
fact; First—Thatit invariably breaks up the fever.
together with its liability to re urn Ou tP- 7 h, i4th
ana 2'st days. Si-cond—That it does not occasion
any bead symptom", like those produced by Quini e
Third—Thvt it can be administered to chnoren of
the most tender a«e. with impunity. Aud, Fourth—
That it oontains no Quinine, Arsenic or other min-
