NUTRITIVE QUALITIES OF TIE ONION.-The
onion deserves notice as an article of great
consumption in this country, and it rises in
Importance when we consider that in some countries
like Spain and Portugal, it forms one of the
common and universal supports of lite. 1t is
interesting, therefore, to know that in addition to
the peculiar favor which first recommends it, the
onion is remarkably nutritious. According to
analysis, the dried onion root contains from
twenty-five to thirty per cent. of gluten 1t ranks
in this respect, with the nutritious pea and the
grain Of the east. 1t is not merely as a RELISH
therefore, that the wayfaring Spanard eats his
onion with his humble crust of bread, as he sits
by the refreshing spring it is because experience
has long proved that, like the cheese of the
English laborer, it helps to sustain his strength
also, and addS-beyOnd what its bulk would suggest
to the amount Of nourishment which his simple
meal supplies.

HEE'S
Ague Cure,

.Agu0 cure,
FOB THE SPEEDY CURE OF
Intermittent Fever, or Fever and Ague,
Remittent Fever, Chill Fever, Dump
Ague, Periodical Headache, or Bilious
Headache, and Bilious Fevers, indeed
for the whole class of diseases orisi-
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 u sure
and safe cure for Fever and Aguc. Such
we are now enabled to offer, with q 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. Frer-Rti1a is
better than cure, for the patient escapes the
| risk which he must run IN violent attacks of
this baleful diStemper- This "CuRE" expels
the miasmatic poison of FEVER AND AGUE
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 the best remedy ever yet discovered
for this class of complaints, but also the
cheapest. III large quantity We supply for
a dollar brings it within the reach Of every
BODY; and in bilious districts, where FEVER
\ AGUE prevails, every body should have It
and use it freely both for cure and protection.
1t is hoped tins price Will place it within the
reach of all-the poor as well as the rich. y
great superiority Of this remedy over any
| other ever discovered for the speedy and GER
tain cure of Intermittents is, TINT it contains
ne Quininc or mineral, consequently it pro-
dnces 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 Agucis not alone the consequence
of the mia.matic poison. y 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 Dermgcnent of the Stomach,
AZ of which, when originating in this cause,
put on the 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 imni-
grants and persons travelling or temporarily
residing in the malarious districts. If taken
occasionally OF daily while exposed to the in
fiction, that will be excreted from the system.
and cannot accumulate in sufficient quantity
to ripcn 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 at
fcrds.
