Death is but too often the termination
Of what in its beginning was lightly
treated and fatally neglected as com
mon cold. The snow ball does not in
crease faster by rolling, than does danger
from an unchecked cough orcold. When
inflammation once seizes upon the deli
cate tissue Of the Lungs, the progress of
fire is scarcely swifter or more fatal than
that of Pulmonary disease through its
various stages, and its terminus, death.

An Experiment.

EDs. PRAIRIE FARMER There is SC
much advice given in our agricultural
papers, generally, that farmers are skep-
teal about much that is true and worthy
of being followed. l saw the statement
in journal, that turnips packed in a
barrel, and closely covered with green
sod, nicely fitted, would remain crisp and
solid all winter. When turnip- pulling
commenced, I picked out a barrel Of
choice ones, and covered them according
to the direction, and, miraJile dictu
they are as nice and fresh as if just taken
from the rich earth. Now, it is my opin-
ion, that parsnips, carrots, beets, pota-
toes, satisfy and all other dubious edibles,
could be preserved in this way perfectly
The sod prevents them from becoming
corky and wilted. HENRY p. KfMBALL.

Form OF THE The earth be-
ing round like ball, it follows that, at a
certain distance, even though our vision
can reach much further, its form will
prevent us from seeing objects even if
It's surface were perfectly smooth. 1t
has been calculated that at six hundred
yards an object one inch high cannot be
seen in a straight line at nine hundred
yards, two inches at four hundred
yards, five inches; at one mile, eight
inches; three miles, six feet---so at that
distance man would be invisible. In
leveling, it is usual to allow the tenth of
an inchiin every two hundred yards, or
eight inches in mile for convexity.

SEN DING NEWSPAPERS AND PAMPHLETS

TO EuRoPE.--Persons who send newspa
pers and pamphlets to Europe, should be
careful not to enclose them in wrappers
as it subjects them to letter postage, gen
orally SO high that the papers are refused
by the persons to whom they are direct
ed. A gentleman, just returned from
England, informs us, says the Phiadel-
phia Ledger, that he saw baskets of
American newspapers and pamphlets in
one of the English Post Offices which
had been thrown aside on this account.
If the newspapers are tied around with
a piece oftwine or cord, they will 90 as
we'll as in wrapper, and the postage is
then the ordinary price for newspapers,
The fact that many newspapers and pam
phlets fail to reach persons in England
and France, to whom they are directed,
may be accounted for in this way.

Ague Cure,
ron THE SPEEDY CURE OF

rn
Intermittent Fever. or Fever and Asue, Re-
mittent FeYer, Chin Fever, Dumb Ague,
Periodical Headache, or Billions IEead-
ache, and Bilious Fevers, indeed for the
whole class of diseases originating in bill
larry arrangement, caused By the Malaria
of miasmatic countries.
Ne one remedy is louder called for by the ne
cesSities Of the American people than sure and
safe cure for Fever and Ague. Such we are
now enabled to offer. with perfect certainty
that it viii eradicate the disease, and with as
slIrance, founded on proof, that no harm can
arise from IFS use in any quantity.
That which protects from prevents this dis
order must be Of immense service in the eommu-
mites where it prevails. Prevention is better than
cure, for the patient escapes the risk which he
, must run in violent attacks of this baleful dis
temper. This " CURE'' expels the miasmatic
poison Of FEVER AND AGuE from the system and
prevents the development of the disease, if taken
on the first approach of its prelnontory symptoms.
1t is not only the best remedy ever yet discovered
for this class of complaints, but also the cheapest.
The large quantity we supply for dollar brings it
within the reach of every body and in bilious
districts, where FLYER And AGUE prevails, every
body should have it and it freely both for
and protection. It hoped this price viii place it
within the reach of all = the poor well the
rish- A great superiority Of this remedy over any
other ever discovered for the speedy and certain
or mineral, consequently it produces no quinism or
other injurious effects whatever upon the consttu-
ton. Those cured by it are left as healthy as if
they had never had the disease.
Fever and Ague is not alone the consequence Of
the miasmatie poison A great variety of disorders
arise from its irritation, among which are Neural
gia. rheumatism, Gout, Headache, blindness,
Toothache, Barache, Catarrh, Asthma, Palpitation,
Painful Affection of the Spleen Mysteries, Pain in
the Bowels, Collie, Paralysis, and Derangenent of
the Stomach. all Of which, when originating in
this cause, put on the intermittent type or become
periodical. This ''CURE expels the poison from
the blood. and consequently cures them all alike.
1t is an invaluable protection to immigrants and
persons travelling or temporarily residing in the
1nalarious districts. If taken occasionally daily
while exposed to the Infection that will be
ted from the system, and cannot accumulate in
sufficient quantity TO rpen into disease. Hence it
is even valuable for protection than cure and
few will ever suffer from Intermittents, if they
avail themselves of the protection this remedy
affords.
