296  An  Asserted  Specific  for  Ague.  {^J^SffR 
of  water;  drink  at  any  time  daring  the  day,  when  the  stomach  will  bear  it,  and 
freely  at  night  before  retiring. 
This  herb  will  not  only  neutralize  and  drive  out  the  Ague  poison,  but  will 
thoroughly 
CLEANSE  THE  SYSTEM 
and  purify  the  blood,  by  continuing  its  use  moderately  for  a  few  days. 
This  herb  has  been  analyzed  and  by  the  medical  faculty  of  the  Uni- 
versity of  Michigan,  at  Ann  Arbor.  It  is  gathered  by  the  Chinamen  in  the 
West,  and  is  put  up  by  G.  Engle  &  Bro.,  Ann  Arbor,  Michigan. 
It  is  curious,  though,  under  the  circumstances,  not  surprising,  that 
this  "wonderful"  medicine  was  entirely  unknown  at  Ann  Arbor,  ex- 
cept to  the  proprietors ;  and  it  is  but  just  to  state  that  the  name  of 
the  University  of  Michigan  has  been  unwarrantably  connected  with 
it.  From  the  information  received,  it  appears  that  Prof.  Rose  was, 
last  winter,  requested  by  Mr.  Engle,  a  law  student  of  the  University, 
to  analyse  a  handful  of  the  herb,  which  was  then  stated  to  have  been 
collected  near  Salt  Lake,  Utah.  The  analysis,  however,  was  not 
made  by  the  Professor.  The  blank  space  left  above  near  the  lower 
end  of  the  wrapper,  is  in  the  original  blurred  over  with  blue  paint  or 
printers'  ink,  which  leaves  the  word  u  and"  plainly  visible,  but  renders 
the  following  word  (to  judge  from  the  space,  probably  "recommended") 
quite  indistinct. 
The  circular  announcing  the  virtues  of  this  new  claimant  for  public 
favor  and  for  the  money  of  those  who  like  to  be  duped,  bears,  like- 
wise, the  effigy  of  the  Chinaman.  Its  contents  deserve  to  be  pre- 
served for  future  reference  and  edification,  and  we  therefore  give  it, 
verbatim  et  literatim  :
