Father Boyle read from the Breviary,

to be crowded at The time, and much in

every appearance Of devotion, both in the
Senators and spectators.
A large number of me mbers of Con-

Ayers Ague Cure.

which neutralizes this malarious poison in the
blood, and stimulates the liver to expel it from the
body. As it should 30 it does cure this affecting
disorder with perfect certainty. And it does more,
or rather does what is OF more service to those sub
ect to this infection. If taken in season it expels
1t from the system as it is absorbed and thus keeps
those who use it free from its attacks; keeps the
system in health although exposed to the disease.
Consequently it not only cures, but protects from,
the great variety of affections which are induced
by this malignant influence, such as Remittent
Fever, Chill Fever, Dumb, or Masked Ague,
Periodical Headache, or Bilious Headache, Bilious
Fevers, Neuralgia, Rheumatism, Gout, Blindness,
Toothache, Earache, Catarrh, Asthma, Palpita-
tions, Painful Affections of the Spleen, Mysteries,
Collie, Paralysis, and Painful Affections of the
Stomach and Bowels, all Of which, when arising
from this cause, will be found to assume more or
less the intermittent type This "AoUB CURE"
removes the cause Of these arrangements and cures
the disease.
This it accomplishes by stimulating the excre-
tories to expel the virus from the system and
these organs by degrees become habited to do this
their office of their own accord. Hence arises what
we term accEmatatiOn. Time may accomplish the
same end but often life is not long enough, or is
sacrificed in the attempt, while this AGUE Curl" "
does it at once, and with safety. We have great
reason to believe this is surer as well as safer
remedy for the whole class Of diseases which are
caused by the miasmatc infection, than any other
which has been discoveries; and it has still another
important advantage to the public, which is, that
it is cheap as well as good. '..

Fever and Ague,

from which mankind suffer over q large part Of
the GLOBE is tho consequence of diseased action
in the system, induced by the poisonous miasm OF
vegetable decay. This exhalation is evolved by
the'action Of solar heat on wet SOIL and rises with
tho watery vapor from it. While the sun is below
tho horizon this vappr fingers near the earths sur
face, and the virus is taken with it through the
lungs into the blood. There it acts as an irritating
poison on the internal viscera and excreting organs
of the body The liver becomes torpid and fails to
secrete not, only this virus, but also the bile from
the blood Both the virus and the bile accumulate
in the circulation, and produce violent constitu-
tional disorder. The spleen, the kidneys, and the
stomach sympathze with the liver, and become
disordered also. Finally, the instinct Of our or
ganism, as if in an attempt to expel the noxious
Infusion concentrates the whole blood Of the body
in the internal excretorcs to force them to cast it
out. The blood leaves the surface, and rushes to
the central organs with congestive violence. This
is the CHILL. But in this effortit fails. Then the
FEVER follows, in which the blood leaves the cen
tral organs and rushes to the surface, as if in
another effort to expel the irritating poison through
that other great excretory-the skim In this
also it fails, and the system abandons the attempt
exhausted, and waits for the recovery Of strength
to repeat the hopeless effort another day. These
are the fits or paroxysms Of FEVER AND AGUI.
Such constitutional disorder will of course UNDER
mine the health if it is not removed.

An Escaped Locomotive-Destr

Between five and six yesterday morn
