Ague Cure.
FOR THE SPEEDY CURE OF


Intermittent Fever or Fever and Ague,
Remittent Fever, Chill Fever, Dumb
Ague, Periodical Headache, or Bilious
Headache, and Bilious Fevers; indeed
for the whole Glass Of Diseases origi-
mating in hillary arrangement, caused
by the Malaria Of miasmatic countries.
No one remedy is louder called for by the ne
ccssties of the American people than n sure and
safe cure for Fever and Ague. Such remedy
we arc now enabled to offer, with perfect Ger,
tainty that it will eradicate the disease, anu with
assurance, founded on proof, that no harm can
arise from its use in any quantity.
That which protects from or prevents this dis
order must be of immense service in the commu-
mites where it prevails. Prevention is better
than cure, for the patient escapes the risk which
he must run in violent attacks of this baleful
disteRper. This "CuRE " expels the mias-
matte poison of FEVER AND AGUE from the
system, and prevents the development of the
disease, if taken on the first approach of its pre-
monitory symptoms 1t is not only the best
remedy ever yet discovered for this class of COM
plants, but also the cheapest. The large guam
tity we supply for a dollar brings it within the
reach of every body; and in bilious districts,
where FEVER AND AGUE prevails, every body
should have it, and use it freely, both for cure
and protection. 1t is hoped this price will place
it within the reach of the poor as well as the
rich. A great superiority of this remedy over
any other ever discovered for the speedy and
certain cure of Intermittents is, that it contains
no Quininc or mineral, consequently it produces
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 dis
case. Z, esss--~r-~4 ie sly.
Fever and Ague is not alone the consequence
of the masmatic poison. A great variety of dis
orders arise from its irritation, among which arc
Neuralgia, Rheumatism, Gout, Headache, Blind
ness, Toothachc, Earache, Catarrh, Asthma,
Palpitation, Painful Affection of the Spleen,
Mysteries, Pain in the Bowels, Collie, Paralysis,
and Derangcment of the Stomach, all of which,
when originating in this cause, put on the inter
mittent type, or become periodical. This "CURE"
cxpcls the poison from the blood, and consc-
quently cures them all alike. 1t is an inyalua-
bic protection to immigrants, and persons trav-
cling or temporarily residing in the malarious
districts. If taken occasionally, or daily, while
exposed to the infection, that will be excretcd
from the system. and cannot accumulate in suf-
ticient quantity to ripen into disease. Hence it
is even more valuable for protection than cure,
and few will ever suffer from Intermittcnts, il
they avail themselves of the protection this rem
edy affords.

OFFicE OF SEC. Iowa FARMERS Coli
LEGE, Des Moines, Dec. l6, lS59{
Messrs. Editors OF all the several
varieties of corn distributed from this
Office last spring, there are none which
will be of more value to this State, than
the above-named corn. Mr. Josiah Hop
kins. of Madison tp., in this county, re-
ceived but one pint of this corn late in
the season it was planted on .one-eighth
OF an acre, and produced ten bushels and
three pecks of good sound shelled corn.
The soul on which it was grown was the
common sandy soil of the prairie, high
and dry, with bed of clay about IL feet,
com mencing p to 8 feet below the sur
face. A crop Of sugar cane was grown
on the spot the previous year, for which
the soil had been turned six inches in
the spring it was plowed six inches for
tie corn crop, and furrowed 81 feet each
way the cultivation was twice blowing
with double shovel pillow, and twice
with single shovel pillow, both ways
The crop was generally suckered, which
he thought lessened the yield he will
not do this again. Mr.. H. says it is the
best corn he has ever seen for fattening
hogs, and will make it his only crop OF
corn hereafter. He feels satisfied, by
planting it close in the rows, say Is in
ches apart, and the rows % feet apart,
that he can raise 1875 bushels TO the acre.
forgot TO state one of its most impor-
tant recommendations, it ripened and
was hard in 65 days after planting, an
item of great value to our State, especi-
Ally all the northern portion of it.
This corn was presented to the U. S.
Agricultural Society by the Hon. Horace
Callsmore. of Massachusetts, for distri.
button TO the several Agricultural Col
leges of the Union. l received our quo
Ia, about half a bushel, late in the Spring
and had it cultivated in this county, 70,
the use of this Office. l hope to have
enough next spring to supply seed, from
the product of which every county in the
Safe may have good quantity, in the
fall, sufficient, probably, for all who de-
sire to cultivate it. l can send now te
any party desiring some of the seed, BY
mail any quantity they wish, by theil
sending postage stamps TO pay postage
] expect to send home by the member
of the Legislature, in the spring, good
quantity for distribution in their severa
districts, with such other seeds, includ
ing spring and winter wheat, as can OBJ
tain by that time.

Patients in advanced stages of the
Disease.
So wide is the field of its usefulness, and so
numerous arc the cases of its cures, that almost
every section of country abounds in persons
publicly known, who have been restored from
alarming and even desperate diseases OF the
lungs by its use When once tried, its superior
ity over every other medicine of its kind is too
apparent to escape observation, and where its
virtues are known, the public no longer hesitate
what antidote TO employ for the distressing and
dangerous affections of the pulmonary organs
that are incident TO our climate. While many
inferior remedies thrust upon the community
have failed and been discarded, this has gained
friends by every trial, conferred benefits on the
afflicted they can never forget, and produced
cures too numerous and too remarkable TO be
forgotten.

Wemay safely say, that Webster's Dictionary
Pictorial Edition, Unabridged, is the most COM
plete Dictionary of the English language that
we have ever seen. In the completeness of its
vocabulary of our language, and in the accuracy

airy stands prominent and in 0rth0grdphy it is
follt wed by . majority of American writers, SO
far as our observation extends. -N. Carolina

1t has retained all the good of it's predeces
sors, and has added new and valuable improve
ments. Hon. Horace Mann has
said 4" It's the best defining Dictionary in the

orators, like Daniel Webster, VIM. H. Prescott,
and Others have declared themselves decidedly
in favor of the accuracy and extent of its def
nitions In this respect, (pronunciation,)

and authoritative as any we have seen. SIS
These alterations, (orthography) appear to us
not only reasonable, but also popular, when we
are told that ten million school books are annu-
ally published in the United States, compiled by
authors who recognize Webster as their stand
ard of photography. Too high praise
cannot be bestowed on the execution of the sooOd

IMPURE BLOOD.

The blood is the life and when any foreign
or unhealthy matter gets mixed with it, it is at
once distributed to every organ of the body.
Every nerve feels the poison, and all the vital
organs quickly complain. the stomach will
not digest the food perfectly. The liver censes
to secrete a sufficiency of ble. The action of
the heart is weakened, and SO the circulation is
feeble. The lungs become clogged with the
poisonous matter hence, a cough-and all from
a lightimpurity at the fountain head of life
the Blood ? AS if you had thrown some earth,
for instance, in pure spring, from which ran a
tiny rivulet, in few minutes the whole course
of the stream becomes disturbed and dscolored.
AS quickly does impure blood fly oevery part,
and leave its sting behing. All the passages
become Distracted, and unless the obstruction
is removed, the lamp of life soorfdies out.
These pills not only purify the blood, but
regenerate all the secretions of the body; they
