Fever and Ague,

from which mankind suffer over a large part Of
the globe. is the consequence of diseased action
in the SYSTEM induced by the poisonous miasm Of
vegetable decay. This exhalation is evolved by
the action of solar heat wet soil, and rises with
the watery vapor from it. While the sun is below
the horizon this vapor fingers near the earths sur
face, and the virus is taken with it through the
lungs into the blood. There it acts irritating
poison on the integral viscera 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 constitu-
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 it
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 CEN
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.

CRAvAT.-A Euror"an correspondent Of
the National Intc'ligcnccr gives the following
singular account of the origin of this word.
Lonis XIV. Of France had corps of MERGE
nary soldiers from the Austrian Province of
Croatia in his service, which were designated
"Royal Croats" The origonal pronuncia-
ton being difficult to the French, they soon
corrupted it to crarat. And in process of
time the French adopted, as an article of
fashionable attire, the picturesque fringed
hand which. the Croats wore around their
nccks rs part of their uniform, and which
thus metamorphosed into useful and FASH
ionable article Of dress, was naturally enough
called "a Croat," or, rather, Frenchitied into
'Cravat" ....
The Croats,-a savage, ugly, hardy, little
race ofHuns, compose the largest detachment
of the Austrian army, now in the field.

Ayers Ague Cure,

which neutrazes this malarous 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 i. does more,
rather does what is of service to those SUBJ
ject to this infection. If taken in season it expes
it from the system 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. Bilious Headache, Bilious
Fevers, Neuralgia, Rheumatism, Gout, Blindness,
Toothache, Earache, Catarrh, Asthma, Palpita-
lions, 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 or
less the intermittent type. This "AGUB CURE !"
the 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 acclimatation. 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 well safer
remedy for the whole class of diseases which are
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
Il is cheap as well as good.
