Ayers Ague Cure,

which neutralizcs this malarious poison in the
blood, and stimulates the liver to expel 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 those sub
ject 10 this infection. Ii taken in il expes
it from the system it is absorbed and thus keeps
those who 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 Remittent
Fever. Chill Fever, Dumb, Masked Ague.
Periodical Headache, or Bilious Headache, Bilious
Tesers. Neuralgia, Rheumatism, Gout, blindness,
Toothache, Earache, Catarrh, Asthma, Palpita-
tons, Painful Affections of the Spleen, Mysteries,
Cole, Paralysis, and Painful Affections OF the
Stomach and Bowels, all Of which, when arising
less the intermittent type. This "AouE Cure
removes the cause Of these arrangements, and cures
the disease.
This it accompshes by stimulating the excre-
tories to cxpel 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 arciiniutation. Time may accomplish the
same end, but often life il not long enough, or is
sacrificed in the attempt. while this " AGUE CURE "
does il ut once, and with safety We have great
reason to believe this is surer well as safer
remedy for the whole class OF diseases which are
caused by the masmatc infection. than any other
which has been discovered and II has still anotLer
important advantage to the public, which is, that
II is cheap well as good.

and the productive valley Of the Assiniboin,
will be at once firmly secured to the United
States. 1t is already concentrating at St.
Paul, and during last year amounted to a
million OF dollars. There is community Of
ten thousand people at Assiniboin, Fort
Garry and Fort Rouge, situated on the three
points Of land form,d by the junction Of the
Assiniboin with the Red River. Within
the last year or two, and ever since the
Frazer River emigration, the growth 10
population OF this section Of country is said
to have been rapid and steady.
The sagacity Of the merchants Of Saint
Paul, TO whom some Of these facts were set
forth In document read before their Cham.
Der Of Commerce by Mr.. james w. Tay-
lOr, January 22d, Is more than vindicated,
il that were necessary, by the fact that o
Company was organized In Canada last DC.
tober, the immediate object OF which was
to carry into effect the very project which is
now squirting the Minnesotians into such en-
terprising exertion. The officers and Board
Of Directors were from the most respectable
citizens Of Canada their capital EiOO,00O'
They proposed TO construct the portage
roads between Lake Superior and Red Riv.
er, GAO miles Of wagon road J to place
some small steamers on the navigable reach
es in Rainy river, Lake Of the Woods, with
freight boats and Dared boats for shallow
water to place a steamboat on Red river
to run $50 miles to the Grand Rapids OF the
Saskatchewan near its debouchment into
Lake Winnipeg; to build portage road at
the Rapids, and to put another steamboat
above the Rapids to run up the Saskatche-
wan.
Influential persons are engaged in this
company, who believe that it not only opens
the magnificent agricultural district east Of
the Rocky Mountsins, and the way TO The
gold fields Of Frazer River, and Oregon and
Washington Territories, for passengers from
Europe, and from the populous States and
Provinces OF the st. Lawrence Valley, but
that 1t must inevitably become the route
for the first Pacific Railroad across the con-
tinent.
The merchants OF st. Paul, however, are
beforehand in the matter, or rather Nature
has been, by opening ups highway from
these northwestern districts into the heart Of
Minnesota, and they are wise enough to
spend the few thousands now, which will
come back in tens Of thousands hereafter.
