Fever and Ague,

fromt which mankind suffer over 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 on wet soil and rises with
the watery vapor from it. While the sun il below
the horizon this vapor fingers near the earths sur
face, and the virus is taken with 1t through the
lungs into The blood There acts as an irritating
poison the internal viseera and cxcretng 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, MS If in an attempt TO expei the noxious
infasan, concentrates the whole blood of the body
in the internal excretories to force them to east it
out. The blood leaves the surface. and rashes to
the central organs with cnngestive violence. This
is the CHILL. But in this effort ii fails. Then the
FfyHn 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 il falls 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 AauE.
Such constitutional disorder win of course under
mine the health If ii In not removed.

or rher does what is of more service to those SUBJ
)cst TO this infection if taken in season il pels
IL from the system ii is absorbed and thus keeps
those who use IL free from Its attacks; keeps the
systcm ia health although exposed to the disease
Consequently IL not only cures, but protects from
the great variety of affections which are induced
by this malignant fifiuenee, such as Remiftent
Fever, Chill Fever, Dumb, or Masked Ague,
Periodical Headache, or Bilious Headache, Bilious
Eevers, Neuralgia, Rheumatism, Gout, Blindness,
Toothaehe. Earache, Catarrh, Asthma, Palpita-
tons, Painful Affections OF the Spleen. Mysteries,
Gotic, 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 AeuB CuRE %
removes the of these arrangements, and cures
the disease.
This it accomplishcs by stimulating the excre-
torres 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 accHmatdffoa. Time may accomplish the
same end, but often life Is not long enough, or is
sacrificed in the attempt. while this AouE cuRE -

reason to believe this is surer ms we'll as safer

caused by the miasmatc infection, than any other

WASHINGTON, May l0.-Itis said that Mr..
Douglas will not speak today, as the advo-
Gates of the Homestead bill are anxious to
press that measure at once, before the Black
Republican members leave here to attend
the Chicago Convention.
The feeling that the Baltimore Convention
will bring about results Of great Importance
to the country, is steadily gaining ground
here Well informed politicians speak of it
as one of the most important political gather
ings ever assembled in this country.
The friends of the Tariff in the House of
Representatives, are determined to press a
vote upon the bill to-day. But it is by no
means certain that they will be successful.
Arrangements for the reception of the
japanese Embassy are completed. A num-
Der of Government officials leave here to-day
to meet the embassy at Norfolk.
