Georgia Railroads.

The railroad between Kingston and
Rome, in Georgia, if it is not a one-horse
concern, is a mighty slow team. A friend
of ours rejoicing in the name of Tick
a telegraph man, too-was riding upon a
lightning train on this road, when he
spied a negro toddling along with a pack
on his back. In the exuberant generos-
ity of his nature, Tick screamed out
"Halloo, Uncle come aboard, come
aboard and ride to town !"
The polite and glistening African
touched his beaver and replied
beg pardon, massa, but l can't mus
git thar soon, and hadn't got the time to
spar!"
When we met Tick in Rome, a short
time afterwards. he expatiated on the
merits of the safe road. Said he
1T is the cheapest road in the United
States-you can ride on it all day for a
dollar !"

Ayers Ague Cure,

which neutralizes this malarious poison in the
blood, and stimulates the liver to cxpel it from
the body. AS it should, so it docs cure this af-
fictive disorder with perfect certainty. And it
does more, or rather docs what is OF more SER
vice to those subject TO this infection. III taken
in season it eXpels it from the system rs it is alb
sorbed, 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 az
fcctions which are induced by this malignant
influence, such rs Rcmittent Fever, Chill Fever,
Dumb, or Masked Ague, Periodical Headache,
or Bilious Headache, Bilious Fcvers, Neuralgia,
rheumatism, Gout, Blindness, Toothache, Ear
ache, Catarrh, Asthma, Palpitations, Painful At
fections of the Spleen, Mysteries, Collie, Paralysis,
and Painful Affections of the Stomach and Bow
els, all of which, when arising from this cause,
will be found TO assume more or less the intermit-
tent type. This "AGUE CURE" removes the cause
of these arrangements, and cures the disease.
This it accomplishes by stimulating the eXcre-
tories to cXpel 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 ~acclimdtion. Time may accomplish
the same end, but often life is not long enough, or
is sacrificed in the attempt, while this "AGUE
CURE" does it at once, and with safety. We have
great reason to believe this is a 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.
