Fever and Ague.

from which mankind suffer over a large part of
the globe, is the consequence of a 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 the watery vapor from it. While the sun is
below the horizon this vapor fingers near the
earth's surface, 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 be-
comes 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 circula-
ton, and produce violent constitutional disorder.
The spleen, the kidneys, and the stomach SYM
patliiZe with the liver, and become disordered
also. Finally, the instinct of our organism, as
if in an attempt to expel 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 to the
central organs with congestive violence. This is
the CHILL. But in this effort it fails. Then the
FEVER follows, in which the blood leaves the
central organs and rushes to the surface, as if
in another effort to expcl the irritating poison
through the other great excretory - the skin. In
this also it fails, and the system abandons the at
tempt exhausted, and waits for the recovery of
strength to repeat the hopeless effort another day.
These are the fits or paroXysms Of FEVER AND
AGUE. Such constitutional disorder will of
course undermine the health if it is not removed.
We have labored to find, and have found, an

THE NEW MAGAZINE,
THE ATLANTIC MONTH";
DEVOTED TO
Literature, Art and Politics.


-
THE AIM OF THE PERIODICAL WILL BE
EYRST In Literature, to leave no province
l. unrepresented, SO that, while each num-
Der will contain articles of an abstract and per-
manent value, it will also be found that the
healthy appetite of the mine for entertainment
in its various forms of Narrative, Wit and HUI
NOR, will not 60 uncared for. The publishers
wish to say, also, that while native writers will
receive the most solid Encouragement, and will
be mainly relied on to fill the pages of the AT
LANTIC, they will not hesitate to draw from the
foreign sources at their command, as occasion
may require, relying rather on the competency
of an author to treat a particular subject, than
on any other claim whatever. In this way they
hope to make their periodical welcome WHEREBY
er the English language is spoken or read.
SECOND: In the term ART, it is intended To
include the whole domain of aesthetics, and they
hope gradually to make this critical department
a true and fearless representative of Art, in all
its various branches, without any regard to
prejudice, whether personal or national, or to
private considerations of what kind soever.
THIRD In Politics, the ATLANTIC will be the
organ of no party or clique, but will honestly en-
deavor to be the exponent of what its conduc-
tors believe to be the American Idea. 1t will
deal frankly with persons and with parties, en-.
deayoring always to keep in view that moral
element which transcends all persons and par
ties, and which alone makes the basis of n true
and lasting national prosperity. 1t will not
rank itself with any set of antics, but with that
boo y of men which is in favor of Freedom, Ma
tional Progress, and Honor, whether public OF
private.
TERMS: Three Dollars a year, or twenty-five
Cents a number, and may be obtained of Book
sellers, Periodical Agents, or of the Publishers,

STATE UNIvERsITY.-At a late meeting
Of the Trustees of this institution at Iowa

we learn that there has been sold of Uni

remainder Of the land be sold at its valu-

will bring for several years to come, the

Ayers Ague Cure,

which neutralizes this malarious poison in the
blood, and stimulates the liver to expel it from
the body. AS it should, so 1t does cure this af-
fictive disorder with perfect certainty. And it
does more, or rather does what is of more SER
vice to those subject to this infection. If taken
i'm season it expels it from the system as 1t is abb
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 af-
fections 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, Govt, Blindness, Toothache, Ear
ache, Catarrh, Asthma, Palpitations, Painful AZ
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 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 dcclimation. Time may accomplish
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.

A Hard Subject.

An "old soaker," who lives in Yves

and very sensibly, too. that it was abouI
time for him to be considering his prob
able future condition. Forthwith he re.
paired to the Rev. Mr.. p, the respected
pastor of the Baptist denomination, t.
obtain light. He was received with ur
banity, and the following dialogue en-
sued

sion, isn't it?
Mr.. P.-Yes, Mr.. S., it is a funda.

chances were pretty good for his being

The Louisville Journal says /:

Justice to Senator Seward demands
that a perverted extract, which is altrib-
uted to him should be corrected. He is
represented as having said
"There is a higher law than the Con-
stitution, which regulates our authority
over the domain. Slavery must be abol-
ished, and we must do IT,"
Mr.. Seward never used such language.
but in his California speech he made the
following remarks:
The Constitution devotes the domain
to union, to justice, to defence, to welfare
and liberty. Bat there as higher lar
than the Constitution ,chich regulates our
authority over the domain, and devotes II
