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 tho poisonous miasm OF
vegetable decay. This cXhalIti0n is evolved by
the action Of solar heat on wet soil, and rises with
the wa'ery ylpor from il. While the sun is below
the horizon this yapor fingers near the carth's 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 visccra and cXereurg organs
Of the BODY The liver becomes torpid and fails to
secrcte not only this virus, but also the bile from
the blood. Both the virus and the bile accumulate
in the circulation, aud produce violent constitl-
tional disorder. The spleen. the Kidneys and the
stomach sympalhze with the liver, and become
dis0rdsrcd also Finally, the instinct OF our or
gauism, as ii in an attempt to eNpcl the noXionS
infusion concentrates the whole blood OF the body
in the internal cXcrclorics to force them to cast 1t
out The blood leaves the surface, and rnshc5 to
tie central Orl1ns with congcsiiyc violence. This
is the CHrr. But in this eHOuit falls Then tho
FEVER follows, ~ which the blood leaves the cen
trll organs and rusho3 TO the surface, as II IN

that other great cScrctory skin. In this
also Il fails, and the system abandOns the attcIapt
exhausted and waits for the recovery OF strength
TO repeat the hopeless effort another day. These
are the ftS or paroxysms Of FEVER AND AGUE.

Ayers AgUe Cure,

which ncntraliscs this m7larious poison in the

disorder with perfect certainty And it does mOrc
or rather docs what is of moro service 10 those sub
cct to this Infection. If tINcn in season IL cXpols
il from the system ms ii is gbsurrd and thus keeps
those who use Il free from its attacks; keeps tho
system in health although exposed 20 the disease.
Consequently j. no, only cure5 but protects from,
the great variety Of affections which are induced
By this malignant influence, such as RcmIttcnt
Fever Chill Fever, Dumb or Masked Aguc,

removes the cause Of these arrangements and cures

This it accomrli,hcs lv stimulating the cxcrc-

these organs by degrees become halitcd to Go this

sacrificed in the attcnpt, while this i" AGuE CURE
does it at once, and with safety. We have great
reason to believe this is q 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
1t is cheap as well as good.

"There was time, and 1t was not IN the
far f days OF antiquity either, when it was
the boast OF America that, AS We had not
Kings and Lords, neither had we beggars.-
This boast, like possibly some others no long

forth be Withdrawn: We have beggsrs--
beggars of all sorts aud sizes, native and im-
ported, male and female, int grail and frac-

their exhibition of natural determines, Of

annoyance aud disgust. Not only do they
encounter you in the streets, but follow you
into hotels or other places Of public resort
ard ply their trade with importantly. To
put some stop 70 this, the police have been
