N approaching any new course of systematic in
L quiry there are certain points concerning which
the inquirer should always be careful TO satisfy
himself Hc should comprehend distinctly what the
subject of inquiry is-Health and Disease.
And we can form and fix in our minds clear
conception of the state Of Health, we shall have no
difficulty in understanding what is meant by Dis
ease. But beyond. not above these objects Of in
vcstigation OF the human body. we have another
and still nober end. II is to lay before you in such
plain terms that you cannot be mistaken and will
know whore to apply for relicf.
use the word of disease generally and be-
fore speak Of the signs of particular diseases, il
will be proper to take general view of symptoms.
When person is troubled or afflicted with disease
which causes a werkness of the back and limbs
pain in the head, dimness of ss ht, loss Of muscu-
lar power palpitation Of the heart irratability
nervousness dyspepsia, arrangement of the dges
tive functions general debility, symptoms of con
sumption, and many others, which are better ex-
planned than put on paper, and requires Medical or
Surgical Attention, it would be well for them to
inquire ii thare is physician who iscompetent to
attend them, and who understands the application
of medicine, and whose SCIENTIFIC ATTAIN
MENlS in his profession, and whose age and ex-
perience entitle him to your confidence. Consider
these things, Dr. Q. II. TozER has concluded to in

business, stating that he has beena successful prac-
titioner for over twenty five years and has
ATTENDED AND CURED HUNDREDS,

Clans and have been pronounced by them pastr re-
covery. Therefore you can rely upon him as one
in whom SECRECY and the utmost confidence can be
placed.
DIR. c. H. T. would invite all that are afflicted to
call on him, and if he does not administrator them
there will be no charge made Let no false delica-
cy prevent yon, but apply Immediately, and save
yourself from the dreadful consequences which
must follow those who neglect to receive atten-

CLouDLEss pERu.-Lieut. Maury, in his
Geography Of the Sea, explains Why there
is no rain in Peru. lie says:
In Peru, South America, rain il unknown.
The coast Of Peru is within the region OF
perpetual southeast trade winds. Though
the Peruvian shores ARE on the verge Of the
great South Sea boiler, yet it never rains
there. The reason Il plain. The southeast
trade winds in the Atlantic Ocean, first strike
the wafer on the coast af Africa. Travelling
70 the northwest they blow obliqueiy across
the ocean until they reach the coast Of Bra
zil. By this time they are heavily laden with
yapor, which they continue 70 bear along
aero $ the continent, deposlting II az they 60,
and supplying with il the sources Of the klo
de Ia Plata and tho southern tributaries Of
the Amazon. Finally they reach the snow
capped Andes, and here il wrang from them
the very last particle Of moisture that that
very low temperature can extract. Reach
lug the summit Of that range, they now tum-
Bile down rs cool and dry winds on the Pacl-
iic slopes beyond. Meeting with no eyupo
rating surface, and with no temperature cold
or than that to which they were subjected on
the mountain tops, they reach the ocean be-
fore they become charged with fresh yapor,
and before, therefore they have any which
the Peruvian climate can extract. Thus we
zee how tho tops Of the Andes become the
reservoir from which are supplied the rivers
of hill and Peru.
