.INHE GREAT FLOOD OF 1S47 Will be long re-
L membered in many parts OF the West. The
swollen streams seemed to know bounds; but ris-
ing higher and higher carried dsmay to the inhabi-
tants Merchants obliged to remove their wares
from the rivers sides to remoter places; families we've
compelled to desert their dwellings; the poor suffered
more severely than language describe. The pub

counsel In short, great public calamity had &C.

Well would it be if the sad consequences of tho
Flood had ceased when the waters subsidized But no.
EF1he retlreing waves left vast auvial deposites,
which in few months MUST give out that deleterious
miasm which produces bilious diseases,
What says the celebrated DR.. Ferguson on this
pointl Answer: The cause OF bilious arrangement
has its principal source in halt dried margins rivers
All history and experience proves this theory. When
the British army encamped on the plains oil Estrem-
adura, at time when the river Guadiana had become
dry after flood, remttent and intermittent tevers

nifty that they came nigh being extirpated.
The Graefenberg Company, therefore,, earnestly
call the attention OF the entire West TO their most
trao binary and celebrated series OF Anti bilious
Medicines In every locality where there IS the
slightest tendency to any form OF Fever, Fever and
Ague, Dumb Ague and the like. the inhabitants
should at send to the General Agent of the dis
trict and have Graetenberg Depot established near
them. Were this done, and the Graetenberg Vegeta-
bic Pills and Health Biers used according to direc
tions there would be no fear ofbilIious diseases,
So important the Graef nberg Medicines to the
people OF the West that the following steps SHOULD be
LIST. Every neighborhood should have its Graefen-
berg Depot.
By addressing the General Agent of any district
thus can be secured.
I'd. Families should club together and get imme-
date supply.
Sd. Emigrant Societies and other philanthropic
bodies should furnish them to the needy.
By such means bilious diseases will be entirely pre-
vented.
The other Medicines of the Company are most en-
nently adapted to the diseases for which they

PHiLosorHER.-A poor jolly weaver in this city,
not many yeais ago, had fortune left him by dis
tant and wealthy relative, who went off the handler
in England rather Unexpectedly. When the news
came tothepoor fellow, as he sat clac at
his loom, he stopped still and said:
"Well, suppose l must spend this money
straight"
The fortune some twenty odd thousand dollars,
was duly realized and duly spent For briefyear
did the poor travel, make merry and riot up
all the Injuries of the land But two years did the
job and he returned to his loom as poor as church
mouse, but merry as a cricket, and worked away
again for his daily bread perfectly satisfied with the
good time" he had had while his fortune lasted His
friends call him green, but he laughed their gbes
and wor ied the harder. In twelve-month's time
off popped another rich relative and the news, post
haste, came to the jolly weaver, that he was again
the possessor of a handsome fortune Stopping his
loom, and looking sorrowfully on the letter. he de-
spondingly said:
Good heavens! is it possible that must go through
all that again.
