"A 6R7S
Ague Cure,

FOR THE SPEEDY CURE OF
Intermittent Fever, or Fever and Ague,
Remittent Fever, Chill Fever, Dumb
Ague, Periodical Headache, or Bilious
Headache, and Bilious Fevers, indeed
for the whole class of diseases origi-
mating in hillary arrangement, caused
by the Malaria of miasmatic countries.
No one remedy is louder called for by the
necessities of the American people than sure
and safe cure for Fever and Ague. Such
we are now enabled to offer, with a perfect
certainty that it will eradicate the disease,
and with assurance, founded on proof, that
no harm can arise from its use in any guam
tity.
That which protects from or prevents this
disorder must be of immense service in the
communities where it prevails. Prevention is
better than cure, for the patient escapes the
risk which he must run in violent attacks of
this baleful distemper. This "CURE" expels
the miasmatic poison of FEVER AND AGUR
from the system and prevents the develop
ment of the disease, if taken on the first ap-
proach of its premonitory 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
a dollar brings it within the reach of every
body; and in bilious districts, where FEVER
AND AGuE prevails, every body should have it
and use it freely both for cure and protection.
1t is hoped this price will place it within the
reach of all-the poor as well as the rich. A
great superiority of this remedy over any
other ever discovered for the speedy and GER
tain cure of Intcrmittents is, that it contains
no Quinine or mineral, consequently it pro-
duces no quinism or other Injurious effects
whatever upon the constitution. Those cured
by it are left as healthy as if they had never
had the disease.
Fever and Aguc is not alone the consequence
of the miasmatic poison. a great variety Of
disorders arise from its Irritation, among which
are Neuralgia, rheumatism Gout, Headache
Blindness. Toothacle, Earache, Catarrh, Asth-
ma, Palpitation, Painful Affection of the
Spleen, Mysteries, Pain in the Bowels, Collie,
Paralysis, and Derangement of the Stomach
all of which, when originating in this cause
put on the intermittent type, or become period
ical This Cure" cXpels the poison from
the blood, and consequently cures them all
alike. 1t is an invaluable protection to immi-
grants and persons travelling or temporarily
residing in the malarious districts If taken
occasionally or daily while exposed to the in
fection, that will be excretcd from the system,
and cannot accumulate in sufficient quantity
to ripen into seasc. Hence it is even more
valuable for protection than cure and few will
ever suffer from IntClnittcnts, if they avail
themselves of the protection this remedy af-
fords.

TIE NEXT STATE LEGIsLATuRE.-The State
Legislature will meet in the beginning Of
the new year, and, judging from the greater
part Of the recently elected members, it
will be the most rascally and corrupt that
ever congregated at Albany. Owing to the
large majority which the republicans will pos
sess in both houses, they will have the control
Of everything, and opposition to their corrup-
ton will be of no avail. In conjunction with
the republican lobby, which was bad enough
before, but will be now ten times worse, the
Legislature will be able to achieve an amount
Of rascality which will cast the deeds of pre-
vious Legislatures into the shade. The sum
total Of the plumber in contemplation would
startle New York city and the whole
State, if they could only realise it now
at glance. Yet the play will be per-
formed exactly as arranged in the Sc
cret programme. The plot is already con-
structed, and the actors designated for their
respective parts, and the amount of pay for
their services fixed All is settled beforehand !;
many Of the artists are rehearsing their roles,
and it is only needed to lift the curtain on the
first Of January to commence performance
which will far outstrip in interest and schemes
Of robbery the farce Of the Forty Thieves"
The New York herald. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1840-1920, 1859-11-15

PRINTER TO CoNGRsss-Some Of the papers
are making fuss about Torney being printer
to Congress But these papers may save them
selves all trouble on the subject, and Forney
himself will only have his labor for his pains if
he pursues this prize any further He cannot
get 1t, however his teeth may water. The
printers to the next Congress will be Thurlow
Weed and Horace Greeley. They have not had
any pickings from that quarter Nr long time,
and now it Is their turn. Their party will have
the largest number in the next House of
Representatives, and neither Forney nor any OF
bis faction can get their fingers into the treasury

CANDIDATES FOR THE PREsIDENcY.-The two
leading republican organs in this city--the
Times and 2ribua,e-are indicating their desire
and wish that Mr.. Bates, Of Missouri, should be
put forward as the Presidential candidate of
the black republicans. If Bates should be the
man In place Of Seward, 1t is expected that
Greeley will be Postmaster General, and Ray
mond Minister to Solferino, In the elbows Of
the Mincio. If Seward should be selected,
neither Of these worthless will receive 80 much
consideration as the Chevalier Webb, who will
certainly be made Secretary Of War or Scorer
tary Of State. We expect soon to see a furious
war among these organs in reference to the
Presidential candidate # their party. The In
terests Of the organs lie In different directions.

TAKE CARE OF Your TAX RECE1pTs.-It Is
matter Of common occurrence for tax
payers to be applied to second time
for taxes already paid, and not accounted
for or entered by the collector on the
books; and 1t is notorious, as we have often
stated, that property is not discharged from
liens imposed upon it for arrears Of taxes, long
after such arrears have been paid up. All per-
sons, on paying their taxes, should be careful
to put away the collectors receipt in safe
place, or they may find themselves In difficulty,
and perhaps have to pay double taxes. So
miserably and fraudulently are many of our
public departments conducted that the tax
payer has no safeguard against imposition ex-
cept his own prudence in preserving tho record
Of his payments in black and white.
