terieiter, whose name the informant is unable to

a dirk in the abdomen. MIR. Minor was still

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 vapoT from it. While the sun is below
the horizon this vapor fingers near the earch's sur
face, and the virus is taken with it through the
lungs into the blood. There it acts as an irritating
poison on the internal visccra and excreting organs
of the body. The liver becomes 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 circulation, and produce violent %constiti-
tional disorder. The spleen, the kidneys, and the
stomach sympathize with the liver, and become
disordered also. Finally, the instinct of our or
ganism, 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 1t
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 GEN.
trail organs and rushes to the surface, as if in
another effort to expel the irritating poison through
that other great excretory- the skin. In this
also it fails, and the system abandons the attempt
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 under
mine the health if it is not removed.
We have labored to find. and have found, an
antidote.
