A FINE PARrY.-G. NJ. Curtis thus paints
fashionable crush: ...
People poured in. The rooms began to
swarm. There was warm oder of kid
gloves, scent bags and heliotrope. There
was an incessant fluttering of fans and bob
bling of heads. One hundred, gentlemen said,
How warm it is I" One hundred ladies
of the highest fashion answered, Very
Fifty young men who all wore coats, collars
and waistcoats, that seemed to have been
made in the lump, and all after the same
pattern, stood speeches. about the rooms,
wondering what to do with their hands,
Fifty older married men, who had solved
that problem, folded their hands behind their
backs, and beamed vaguely about, nodding
their heads whenever they recognized any
other heads, and, saying, Good evening""
and then, after little more beaming, How
are yer?" Walters pushed about with trays
covered with little glasses of lemonade and
port-sangaree, which offered favorable open
ings to the unemployed young men and the
married gentlemen, who crowded along with
a glass in each hand, frightening all the ladies
and begging everybody's PARDON From

MEDICAL ADVERTISEMENTS.
Fever and Ague,

rom which mankind suffer over large part Of
he globe, is the consequence of diseased action
"A the system, induced by the poisonous miasm Of
vegetable decay. This exhalation is evolved by
he action of solar heat on wet SOIL and rises with
the watery vapor from it. While the sun is below
he horizon this vapor fingers near the earth's sur
ace, and the virus is taken with it through the
ungs into the blood. There it acts as an irritating
,oson on the internal viscera and excreting organs
the body. The liver becomes torpid and fails to
ecrete not only this virus, but also the lille from
he blood. Both the virus and the bile accumulate
in the circulation, and produce violent constitu-
ional disorder The spleen, the kidneys, and the
stomach sympathize with the liver, and become
tlisordered also Finally, the instinct of our or.
ganism, as il in an attempt to expel the noxious
infusion, concentrates the whole blood of the body
the internal excretories to force them to cast it
mt. 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 rishes to the surface, as if in
mother 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 AGUB.
Such constitutional disorder will of course under
mine the health if il is not removed.
We have labored to find, and have found, an
aufidota

Ayers Ague Cure,

which nentrazes this malarious poison in the
blood and stimulates the liver to expe it from the
BODY As it should, SO it does cure this affecting
disorder with perfect certainty. And it does more,
rather does what is of more service to those SUBJ
ect to this infection. If taken in it expels
it from the system as it is absorbed 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 affections which are induced
by this malignant influence, such as Remittent
Fever, Chill Fever, Dumb, or Masked Ague,
Periodical Headache, or Bilious Headache, Bilious
Feyers, Neuralgia, Rheumatism, Gout, Blindness,
Toothache Earache, Catarrh, Asthma, Palpita-
tons, Painful Affections of the Spleen, Mysteries
Collie, Paralysis, and Painful Affections of the
Stomach and Bowels, all of which, when arising
from this cause, will be found to assume more OF
less the intermittent type. This "AGuB CURE |"
removes the of these arrangements, and cures
the disease.
This it accompshes 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 accord. Hence arises what
we term acclimatatiOn. Time may accomplish the
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 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 dscovered and it has still another
important advantage to the public, which is, that
it is cheap as well as good. 9E g
