a Y u R'S
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 tho whole Glass Of Diseases origi-
mating in hillary arrangement, caused
by the Malaria of miasmatic countries.
No one remedy is louder called for by the ne.
cessitics of the American people than a sure and
safe cure for Fever and Ague. Such remedy
we are now enabled to offer, with a perfect Ger.
tanty that it will eradicate the disease, and with
assurance, founded on proof, that no harm can
arise from its use in any quantity.
That which protects from or prevents this dis
order must be of immense service in the commu-
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
distemper. This "CURE" expcls the MAS
matte poison of FEVER AND AGuE from the
system, and prevents the development of the
disease, if taken on the first approach of its pre-
monitory symptoms. 1t is not only the best
remedy ever yet discovered for this class of COM
plants, but also the cheapest. The large guam.
tity we supply for a dollar brings it within the
reach of every body; and in bilious districts,
where FEVER AND AGUE prevails, every body
snOulu nave IL, ana use IL Freely, DOln TOT cure
and protection. 1t is hoped this price will place
it within the reach of all-the poor well as the
rich. A great superiority of this remedy over
any other ever discovered for the speedy and
certain cure of Intermittents is that it contains
no Quinine or mineral, consequently it produces
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 dis.
ease.
Fever and Ague is not alone the consequence
of the miasmatic poison A great variety of dis
orders. arise from its irritation among which are
Neuralgia, rheumatism, Gout, Headache, Blind
ness, Toothache, Earache, Catarrh, Asthma,
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 inter-
mittent type, or become periodical. This CURE"
expels the poison from the blood, and conse-
quently cures them all alike. 1t is an invalua-
BILE protection to immigrants, and persons trav-
elling or temporarily residing in the malarious
districts If taken occasionally, or daily, while
exposed to the infection, that will be excreted
from the system, and cannot accumulate in suf-
fcient quantity to ripen into disease. Hence il
is even more valuable for protection than cure,
and few will ever suffer from Intermittents, If
they avail themselves of the protection this REM
edy affords.

Ayers Cherry Pectoral,


FOR THE RAPID CURE OF
Coughs, Colds, Influenza, Hoarseness,
Group, Bronchitis, Incipient Consump-
ton, and for the relief Of Consumptive
Patients in advanced stages Of the
Disease.
So wide is the field of its usefulness, and so
numerous are the cases of its cures, that almost
every section of country abounds in persons
publicly known, who have been restored from
alarming and even desperate diseases Of the
lungs by its use When once tried, its superior
ity over every other medicine of its kind is too
apparent TO escape observation, and where It's
virtues are known, the public no longer hesitate
what antidote TO employ for the distressing and
dangerous affections of the pulmonary organs
that are incident to our climate. While many
inferior remedies thrust upon the community
have failed and been discarded, this has gained
friends by every trial. conferred benefits on the
afflicted they can never forget, and produced
cures too numerous and too remarkable to be
forgotten.

nesota ginseng diggings are nothing to be
compared with those that have lately beeh
discovered in the :" Big Woods near Vir-

7Emcs published ct Virginia, says that
about fifty persons left that place on Mon
day morning last, bound for the Big
Woods 1t says that there is danger of
the town being depopuiated, SO great is
the rush to the ginseng diggings. Carpen-
tiers left their buildings, cabinet makers
their shops, saloon keepers their saloons
and all joined in the crusade for ginseng +!
The Itnes of the 23rd says:
\ special dispatch has Just been receiv-

is most startling The excitement is on
the increase, and men, women and chill

Our informant says that the claim of one

Sound Doctrine.

The following resolutions of the Iowa
Democratic State Convention in reference
to the Supreme Court of the u S. and its
decisions, we take to be sound and healthy
doctrine:
3d. Resolced That inasmuch as the leg
islative power of the Territories extends
undeniably to all rightful subjects of leg
islation, no power can prevent them pas
sing such laws upoh the subject OF slavery
as to them may seem proper, and whether
such laws, when passed, be constitutional
or not, can be finally determined, not by
Congress. but by the Supreme Court, on
appeal from the decisions Ofthe Territorial
Courts
4th Reso1ced, That the Supreme Court
of the United States, being under the Con-
stitution an independent coordinate branch
Of the Government with tenure OF office
which cannot be changed by the action of
parties, through the instrumentality of
Congress, arc hoh{the Democracy e7,t;ccky ire
| sponsiJkc for its doctrines, and in no case con-
clusiyely bound by the same, except SO far
as to inculcatc obedience to its decisions
while they are in force.
9Th. ResoI'eR That without Courts of
Justice, both State and National, respect
ed by the people, and sustained i'll their
proper functions by popular sentiment,
anarchy and violence become inevitable,
and all rights OF both person and property
become insecure and worthless.
It'll. Resoiocd, That the action of the
public authorities in some of the States,
in attempting to set ut defiance by State
authority, decisions of the Supreme Court
and acts of Congress passed in accordance
with the Constitution. is the very essence
of notification.

The farmers of this county and south of
it, having not only commenced cutting
their wheat, but in Southern Illinois got
through their harvest, information some
what approaching certainty can now DO
gathered in reference to the wheat and
growing crops of Illinois for the present
season
In this county, we lnay remark generally
from what information we have been able
to CLEAN from farmers, that winter wheat,
(of which, unfortunately, there was not
enough sown,) generally yields iair-nearly
up to an average crop-which means
about as good as usual in this REGION
while the kernal is quite superior. In
deed, q better article Of wheat than the
present years crop, was never raised in
this county Spring wheat which is not
yet ready for the reaper, promises general
ly not quite so well Some fields have
been injured by the frost, and others stand
very thin and are full of weeds-yet others
again VIII do quite well. The crop will
probably be two-thirds of an average Oats
promise well, and thus far show no signs
of rust, which last year in this county al
most totally destroyed the crop. The
growing corn bids generally fair for q full
crop. The frost has set it back a week or
two and at present it is in danger Of suf-
fering for want of rain; but with good rains
within ten days, and no frosts before Octo-
Der, the corn crop Of LaSalle county will
be up to a full average.
In reference to other portions of the
State, we condense few columns of items
cut from our exchanges.
