MILLION OFBOXES are distribu-

CURE FOR FEVER AND AGUE.
RUssELvILLE, Put. Co. Ia, July II, AZ.
DR.. Wrigbt-Sometime since your a
gent left me a supply of your Indian We
getabIe Pills. [ have found said pills to
be in great demand lately for the cure of
Fever and Ague. Mr.. James Boyd has
a son who has been laid up with fever and
ague, and had tried various other reme-
dies, all of which proved of no avail.
He determined to try your Indian Vege>
table Pills, and by using one box he is
now well. Mr.. T. Spencer had a daugh-
ter, Mr.. Hugh Groves a son, and Mr.. c.
Nichols and three of his family were all
down at the same time with fever and
ague, and had also tried various other re-
needles without effect. Your Indian We
getable Pills soon restored them to perfect
health. I can assure you, from what 1
have seen, your. Indian Vegetable Pills
may be relied or for a permanent cure
of fever and ague. Yours, respectfully,
JACOB DURHAM, P. NJ,
Also, acting Justice of the Peace.

Canadian. Vermifuge.

THE best remedy ever yet discovered
for aHkinds of WORMS. 1t not onlydestroys
Worms and invigorates the whole system, but It
dlssolves and carries off The snperabundant slime of
mriicns, SO prevalent in the stomach and bowels of
children, more especially of those in bad bealth.-
The mucus forms the bed or nes, in which Worms
kLnSpduce their young, aud by removing it, 1t is m
possible for worms to remain in the body. 1t is
harmless in its effects on the system and the health
of the patient is always improved by its use, even
when no worms are discovered; the medicine being
palatable.. no child will refuse to take it, not even
the most delicate.

FEVERS.

Fevers, like every other form of disease
are only an EFFORT OF NATURE to
expel from the body something that is or
posed to health; it is merely a struggle be-
tween the good and bad humors for sup
remacv. and the commotion which ensues
is called Fever. The usual symptoms
of a fever are heaviness, langonr, anxiety,
signing and yawning, with alternate fits of
heat and cold. After which the patient
complains of pain in the head and back,
thirst, difficulty of breathing, pain In the
limbs, a sense of fnlness about the region
of the stomach, nausea and sickness, with
sometimes vomiting Of bilious matter.
Wright's Indian Vegetable Pills will be
found peculiarly adapted to the cure OF
all kinds of Fever, because they not only
thoroughly cleanse the stomach and bow
els from all bilious hulnors, but they
open those excre,ory vessels which empty
into the bowels; and consequently the I'M
purity contained ia the circulation (Which
is the cause of all disordered, motions Of
the blood called Fevers) is thrown into
the howeis, from whence it is carried off
by the regular aIvine discharges.
In using Wright's Indian Vegetable
Pills for Fevers, the only care necessary
is to have the medicine operate copiously'
by the bowels. If the symptoms are ur-
gent, from four to eight pills should be
taken night and morning until the fever
has subsidized, after which smaller doses
once in t~weuty-four hours, will be suffi.
cient to restore the body to a state of sound
health. -
BEWARE OF CoUNTERFEITs.
wRemember, that the original and
only genuine pills have the written, sigma
ture Of Wm, Wright. on the top label OF
each box. G'The genuine Wright's In
dian Vegetable Pills is never sold in Drug.

AGRICULTURAL.

| EEEECTS OF CROPPING UPON THE S0tLs
May a seii which is naturally fertile be
rendered barren BY continual csoppinga
Yes. IF the same kind Of cropping be
carried On for a long time, the land will
gradually become less and less produc~
tive. .. a... -
Give me an exampIe7 If the same field
be cropped year after year with wheat OF
oats, it will at last become less unable to
grow either of these crops.
Why is this? Because these crops
draw certain Substances from the soil in
great abundance, and after a number of
years the soil cannot furnish these sub
stances in sufficient quantity.
What substances does grain especially
draw from the soil? The grain of our
corn CROPS especially exhausts the soil of
phosphoric acid and of magnesia.
How would you remedy such special
exhaustion? By returning to the soil the
particular substances my crops had taken
out. ..s.,. -.-...t
How would you return the phosphorlc
acid, for instance? Iwould apply bone
dust or guano, or some other manure IN
which phosphoric acid abounds.
But with any kind Of cropping, may
not a fertile soil at length be made an UNI
productive one? Yes. If the crops are car
ried off the land, and if what they draw,
from the soil is not restored to il.
How is this explained? Every crop takes
away from the soil a certain quantity of
those Substances which all plants require.
If you are always taking out of a purse,
it will at last become empty.
Then you liken exhausted land to an
empty purse? Yes. The farmer takes hls'
money out ofthe land in the form of crops,
and ifhe is always taking out and putting
nothing in, it must at last become empty
or exhausted.
But if he puts something into the soil
now and then, may he continue to crop
exhausting it! Yes. If he put in
the proper substances, in the proper guam.
titles, and at the proper time, he may keep
up the fertility of his land-perhaps for
ever. -.rx
How much of every thing must the
put into his land TO keep it in its
present condition? He must put in at least
as much as he takes out.
To make his. land better, how much to
put in1 He must put in more than he
out. "' .'s
But if he is to put into the land as
much or more then he takes out, where is
his profit to come 'front.' His profit cons
sists in this, that he takes off the land
what he can sell FOR much money, and he
puts in what he can buy for comparatively
little money. '', ..
Howdo you meant Imean that if l
sell my oats, hay, OF turnips, / get a much
price for them than / afterwards
give when 1 buy them back again in the
form Of horse or cowsdung.
Then the farmer can really afford to
put as much upon the land as he takes
off, and yet have a profit? He can. He puts
in what is cheap and takes off what is
dear. 700 z4s as. 1s,4u eeygI
What do you call the substances which
farmer puts into his land? They are
called manarss-and when putting them
in the farmer is said to manure his soil.-l
