Fever and Ague.

from which mankind suffer over large part of
the globe, Is the consequence of diseased action
In the system, indnced by the poisonous mia,in
Of vegetable decay. This exhalation is evolved
by the aeon of solar heat on wet soil, and rises
with the %atery vapor from 1t. While the sun Is
below the horizon this yapor fingers near the
earths surface, and the virus is taken with it
through the lungs into the blood. There It acts
as an irritating poison on the internal vsccra
and excrcting organs of the body. Xhe liver be-
comes torpid and fails to secrete not only this
virus, but elso the bile from tile blood. Both
the virus and the bile accumulate In the circula-
ton, and produce violent constitutional disorder.
Tho spleen. the kidneys, and the stomach sym.
pNthixe with the liver, and become disOrdcrcd
elso. Finally, tho instinct Of our organism, as
II In an attempt to expcl the nOxious infusion,
concentrates the whole blood Of the body in the
internal cxcrctories to force them to cast 1t out
The blood leaves the surface, and rushes to the
central organs with congcstive violence. This is
the CHILL. But in this effort ii fails. Then the
FEvxR follows, in which the blood leaves tn,
central organs and rushes to the surface, as If
IN another effort to expcl the Irritating poison
through the other great excrctOry - the skin. In
this also II 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 IL 1t is not removed.
We have labored to find, and have found, an
