Ague Cure,
FOR THE SPEEDY CURE OF

FOR THE SPEEDY CURE or
Intermittent Fever, OF Fever and Ague,
Remittent Fever, Chill Fever, Dumb
Ague, Periodical Headache, or Bilious
Headache, and Bilious Fevers, indeed
for the whole class of diseases origi-
mating in hillary arrangement, caused
by the Malaria Of miasmatic countries
No one remedy is louder called for by the
necessities of the American people than a sure
and safe cure for Fever and Ague. Such
we are now enabled to offer, with a perfect
certainty that it will eradicate the disease,
and with assurance, founded on proof, that
no harm can arise from its use in any guam
tity.
That which protects from or prevents this
disorder must be Of immense service in the
communities where it prevails. Prevention is
better than cure, for the patient escapes the
risk which he must run in violent attacks Of
this baleful distempGr. This "CURB" expels
the miasmatic poison of FEVER AND AGUs
from the system and prevents the develop
ment Of the disease, if taken on the first ap-
proach of its premonitory symptoms. 1t Is
not only tho best remedy ever yet discovered
for this class Of complaints, but also the
cheapest. The large quantity we supply for
a dollar brings it within the reach Of every
body; and in bilious districts, where FEVER
AND AaUE prevails, every body should have il
and use it freely both for cure and protection.
1t is hoped this price will place it within the
reach of all-the poor as well as the rich. A
great superiority Of this remedy over any
other ever discovered for the speedy and GER
tain cure of Intermittents is, that it contains
no Quinine or mineral, consequently it pro-
duccs no Quinism or other injurious effects
whatever upon the constitution. Those cured
by it are left as healthy as if they had never
had the disease.
Fever and Agueis not alone the consequence
of the miasmatc poison. A great variety OF
disorders arise from its irritation, among which
are Neuralgia, Rheumatism, Gout Headache,
Blindness, Toothache, Earache, Catarrh, Asth-
ma, Palpitation, Painful Affection of the
Spleen, Mysteries, Pain in the Bowels, Collie,
Paralysis, and Derangement Of the Stomach,
oil Of which, when originating in this cause,
put on tho intermittent type, or become period
ical. This CURE" expels the poison from
the blood, and consequently cures them all
alike. 1t is an invaluable protection to immi-
grants and persons travelling or temporarily
residing in the malarious districts. If taken
occasionally or daily while exposed to the in
fection, that will be excreted from the system,
and cannot accumulate in sufficient quantity
to ripen into disease. Hence it is even more
valuable for protection than cure, and few will
ever suffer from Intermittents, if they avail
themselves Of the protection this remedy af-
fords.

culture or the Blackberry.

SOa.-AlthouSh singularly produc.
tive on any good farming land, for a
permanent plantation, a rich, loamy
and rather humid soil, well manureI,
is recommended,
Plantiag.-lf put ont in a dry
season. throw into the place assigned
to each plant abouta gallon OF water,
aud allow it to settle away; then rog-
ulate the earth for its reception, and
put in the roots about three inches
deep; a proper humidity of the soil
will thus be preserved for a long time.
Watering upon the surface hardens
the soil, impedes the healthiul infl.
cree Of the ali and dew, and often
proves fatal to the plant.
DiStance.-Against wall or gar
den fence, plant them five feet apart;
or where they can be approached on
either side to gather the fruit, only
four; for field cultivation, allow at
least ten feet between the rows (all of
which space will be required the third
summeD for the convenience OF gath.
ering the fruit, when the plant has at
tanned its full size and strength. Any
gardener will know how to occupy tie
supcrhuous ground until required ter
the proper cultivation OF the plant.
First Year.-ln forking up or
wedding the ground, be careful not to
interfere with the growth OF the new
shoots, us they constitute the bearing
wood for the following year, and il
they are destroyed the plant is lost.
Second Hear.--The plants will be
firmly rooted but Of medium size only.
Before the buds put forth in the spring
reduce the length OF the leading shoots
about one.thrd and shorten also the
laterals in the same way and they will
produce crop of good fruit, without
further care, besides furnishing strong
vigorous canes for the ensuing year.
Ihud Yeay.-The plants will now
be in full bearing and must be pruned
anl managed with due regard to their
extraordinary size, productveness
and increase. All the old wood hav.
ing decayed during the winter, should
be removed early in the spring. AT.
ter selecting three or four Of the best
new shoots in each hill for bearing,
new plantations may be made with
the other canes, or if not required
for that purpose, they must be cut
away close to the surface, and all the
struggling roots between the rows
eradicated.
Pruning tie third gear.--Many
Of he principal shoots will now be
irom six to twelve feet high, and they
muy be cut off just below the bend, ,
or about one-third of their length,
and in shortening the laterals the cul
tiyator will have acquired sufficient
knowledge of the plant to exercise a
proper judgment; indeed, the pruning
and management may no doubt in
some localities be varied to advantage;
my practice is to shorten the laterals
onehalf.
Props.--If the cultivator shall &c.
sire to support the plants, a cheap and
convenient way is to put out posts at
