Thermaline is a certain remedy for Chills and Fever, and all Malarial diseases, for which it has never yet failed. It is also a sure cure and preventive for Liver Complaint, Dyspepsia, General Debility, Rheumatism, Neuralgia, Sick Headache, Colds, etc. It builds up, restores and strengthens the whole system.
