Fever and Ague,

from which mankind suffer over large part OF
the globe, is the 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 wet SOIL and rises with
the watery yapor from it. While the sun is below
the horizon this vapor fingers near the earths sur
face, and the virus is taken with it through the
lungs into the blood. There it acts 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 constitn-
tional disorder. The spleen. the kidneys, and the
stomach sympathize with the liver, and become
disordered Also Finally, the instinct of our or
ganism, as if in an attempt to cxpel the noxious
Infusion concentrates the whole blood of the body
in the internal excretories to force them to cast it
out The blood leaves the surface, and rushes tn
the central organs with congestive violence. This
is the CHILL. But in this effort fails. Then the
FEVER follows, in which the blood leaves the cen
trail organs and rushes to the surface, as ii in
another effort to cxpcl the irritating poison through
that other great excretory-the skin. In this
also it falls and the system abandons the attempt
exhausted, and waits for the recovery of strength
to repeat :lc hopeless effort another day. These
are the fits or paroxysns of FEVER AND AGUE.
Such constitutional disorder viii of course under

A Roadside ColIoquy.

"And SO, Squire, you don't take a
County paper?"
No, Major ; l get the city papers on
much better terms, and so take cou-
pie of them"
But, Squire, the county papers of.
ten prove a great convenience. The
more we encourage them the better
their editors can make them.n
"Why, don't know any conven-
ience they are to me-"
"The farm you sold last fall was ad-
vertised in one Of them, and thereby
you obtained Customer Did you
not ?"
Very true, Major; but ] paid three
dollars for it."
And you made much more than
three dollars by it. Now, if your
neighbors had not maintained and kept
it ready for your use, you would have
been without the means to advertise
your property. But / think saw your
daughters marriage in those Papers
did that cost you anything 2"
"No, but"
" And your brothers death was thus
published, with long obituary notice.
And the destruction of your neighbor
Briggs house by fire. You know these
things are exaggerated till the anthem
tic accounts of the newspaper set them
right"

Ayers Ague Cure,

which neutralizcs this rnalarious poison in the
blood, and stimulates the liver to expel it from the
body. As it should, so it does cure this affecting
disorder with perfect certainty. And it does more,
or rather does what is Of more service to those sub
ject to this Infection If taken in season it expels
it 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, hut protects from,
the great variety IF affections which are induced
By this malignant influence, such Rcmittcnt
Fever, Chill Fever, Dumb, or Masked Aguc,
Periodical Headache, or Bilious Headache, Bilious
Fevers, Neuralgia, Rheumatism, Govt, Blindness,
Toothache, Earache, Catarrh, Asthma, Palpita-
tons, 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 AGUE CURE I"
removes the cause Of these arrangements, and cures
the disease
This it accomplshes 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 occlinaatation. Time may accomplish the
same end, bat often life is not long enough, or is
sacrificed in the attempt. while this AGUE CURE T"
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 miasmatic infection, than any other
which has been discovered; and it has still another
important advantage to the public, which is, that
it is cheap as well as good.

There's low messy vale on the old Kentucky
shore,
There I've whiled many happy hours away
A sitting and singing by the little cabin door.
Where lived my darling Nellie Gray.
Oh! my poor Nellie Gray,
They have taken her away,
And III never see my darling any more;
am sitting by the river,
And am weeping all the day,
For she's gone from the old Kentucky
shore
The moon had climbed the mountain, and the stars
were shining too,
would take my darling Nellie Gray,
And paddle down the river in my little red canoe,
While my banjo so sweetly would play.
OH my poor Nellie Gray, &C.
One day Invent to see her, she had gone, the
neighbors said;
The white man had bound her with his chain
He had taken her to Georgia, there to wear her
life away,
AS she toiled mid the cotton and the cane
OH my poor Nellie Gray, &c.
Ny canoe is under water, and my banjo is unstrung,
am tired of living any more;
Ny eyes shall look downward, and my song shall
be unsung,
While stay on the old Kentucky shore.
Oh! my poor Nellie Gray, &c.
Ny eyes are getting blinded, and cannot see my
way,
There's somebody knocking at the door;
i hear the angels calling, and see any Nellie
GEcy---
Farewell to the old Kentucky shore.
OH my dear old Nellie Gray,
Up in heaven there they say,
That they'll never take you from me any
more;
am coming. coming, coming,
As the angels clesr the way,
Farewell to the old Kentucky shore,
am coming, coming, coming. &c.
