Effects Of Loco Focoism-'rhe following picture

the following account from the Pekn Palladium and
learn a lesson of the effects of Loco rule.
In the absence OF circulating medium, have
fallen back upon primitive times, and substituted bar
and traffic in the interchange of commodities in
stead Of the bank note which when convertible into
pecie is certainly the most convenient agent in the
transaction Of business. Our present condition is
precedented. With unusually large surplus of ev
cry article of agricultural product there is no money
for its purchase. Pork, accounted the most valuable
staple in Illinois, article that until the present year
has commanded cash, is sold in exchange for
goods, for trade ard on credit And such is the
abundance exceeding the demand, and the little
enlargement afforded to foreign markets, that
best farmers are determined to sell even at the pres
ent low prices, and in the manner Indicated to men
of integrity and responsibility, rather than keep over,

That physician who prcscribes to the name, and not
for the particular caso, will be very liable to err in
practice.
Having spent ten twelve days in the midst of this
disease which prevails excessively in burke, New

all the variety tire tment adopted in that region,
well as that pursued in the vicinity Of NJ IT, where it
prevailed last year, feel fully persuaded that tho
disease is not necessarily fatal as people nre dis
posed to believe.

and properly treated, ,eiN certainly reeorer.
Let hope take the ace Of fear and dismay, and
this Joined with rational treatment will seldom dis

friends.
The number of new cases have become daily less
for several days past, and of mder aspect.
I have found no use for the lancet and mercuruls,

merit but thus much will say, that with single
exception, every case which saw, or became acquan

other proper means were used early has or probably
