IMPORTANT INFORM ALTON
To Passengers by the Ocean Steamers.

FETHE Fevers and Rheumatic Diseases which

Isthmus of Panama, or of Nicaragua, generally
result from the ,Uant of kno1cledge or the INDIS-
CRETION OF the traveller. Excepting a few con-
Stitutions strongly fortified by nature every yOy-
ager is in some degree affected by the MALARIA
Of vegetable poison which floats in the atmos
phere of the tropics. The researches of Profess
os Liebig have shown that this atmospheric poi
ison, or miasDl, (entering the humun body by the
skin and lungs,) produces fermentation in the
blood which is sometimes rapid and fatal, under
the well known forms of Bilious Typhoid,
''Istmus, J." Panama. and "Yell0W" fever.
Every hhusekeeper knows that the fermenta-
ton of yeast may be checked by a mjkeTal alkall.

wholly prevented by Uegetable remedies, appOn-

1t is proved beyond controversy, that small
doses of certain vegetable g71nS, and dikGi0ldSs

and the passage over, are strong protection
against atmospheric poison. To ensure healthy
and agreeable passage, it is necessary

those which cure; and if, through unavoidable
exposure, or great susceptibility, the traveller
finds the chill or the febrile irritation stealing
over him, he has only to increase the dose. Di-
rections for such cases occurring on the Isthmus,
and for the preservation of health during the
voyage, together with the necessary prescrip-
tions, will be furnished by Dr. Whelpley, at his
