PALuDAL MIAsM.-The Chemists have long
been labonng to detect this subtle poison, and
determine what it is. Door. AVER, of Lowell,
has at length succeeded. He finds it to be an
ethereal exhalation of vegetable decay, which
is evolved only in the presence and by the as.
sistance Of water Its absorption through the
lungs into the blood is the sole cause Of the
hillary arrangements which result in the Inter-
mittent Pevers, 80 affecting and so prevalent in
our climate An antdote for this insidious
venom, is one of the great desiderata in medi
cine, and the Doctor feels sure that he has found
one which not only neutralizes but,expels il
completely from the system. II is put up in
convenient form, called "AoUE CURB," and
furnished cheaper than other remedies for this
complaint; which last fact is by no means au
unimpOrtant one in these tines Democrat

who have it in charge, we feel assured that it
will realize their fondest expectations. The
object Of the fair is a commendable7 one, and
we hope it will meet with that success in the

deserving. By all means let the institutions of
charity and general philanthropy be sustained.
