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
patllize with the liver, and become disordered
also. Finally, the instinct of our organism, as
if in an attempt TO expcl the noxious infusion,
concentrates the whole blood of the body in the
internal eXcretories to force them to cast it ont.
The blood leaves the surface, and rushes to the
central organs with congestivc 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 eXpel the irritating poison
through the other great cXcretory 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.

THE NEW MAGAZINE,
THE ATLANTIC MONTHLY


THE AIM OF THE PERIODICAL WILL BE
LNRST 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 mind for entertainment
in its various forms of Narrative, Wit and HUI
NOR, will not go 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 Ar
LASTIC, 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-
deavoring always to keep in view that moral
element which transcends all persons and par
ties, and which alone makes the basis of a 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 or
private.

To Prevent Horses from Chatting under
the Collar.

A gentleman who has tried the plan
successfully for FIVE years, communicates
the annexed method of preventing horses
from cha6ng under the collar. He says
he gets a piece of leather, and has what
he terms q false collar made, which is
simply a piece of leather cut in such a
shape as to lie, singly, between the should
ers Of the horse and collar. This tends
off all the friction, as the collar slips and
moves on the leather, and not on the
shoulders of the horse. Chatting is caus-
ed by friction, hence, you see, the thing
is entirely plausible. Some persons put
pads or sh~eepskins under the collar /;
these, they say, do as much hurt as good,
for they augment the heat. A single
piece Of leather, like that composing the
outside of a collar, without any lining or
stuffing, be assures us, is better than any
thing else.

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 it does cure this af-
fictiye 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
in season it eXpels it from the system as 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 af-
fcctions 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 At
f~cctions 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 accomplshes 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 ~dcclimdtion. 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 arc 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 rs well as good.
