FOR THE SPEEDY CURE OF

FOR THE SPEEDY CURE OF aE
Intermittent Fever or 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 tho nc
ccssities of the American people than n sure and
safe cure for Fever and Aguc. Such remedy
we are now enabled to offer, with a perfect Ger.
tainty that it will eradicate the disease, and 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 comm,,.
mites where it prevails. Irereition is better
than cure for the patient escapes the risk whic',
he must run in violent attacks of this balcfut
distemper. This "CuRE " expcls the MAS
matte poison of FEVER AND AGUE from Ito
system, and prevents the development of tho
disease, if taken the first approach of its pre-
monitory symptoms 1t is not only the best
remedy ever vet discovered for this class of com.
plants, but also the cheapest. The large quan-
tity we supply for dollar brings it within the
reach of every body; and in bilious districts,
where FEVER AND AGuE prevails, every body
should have If, and use it freely, both for cure
and protection. 1t is hoped this price will place
itwihn the reach of all = the poor as we'll as tle
rich A great superiority of this remedy over
any other ever discovered for the speedy and
certain cure of Intcrrntents is that il contains
no Qunne OF mineral, consequently it produces
no quinism or other injurious effects whatever
upon the constitution. Those cured by it arc
left as healthy as if they had never had the dis
ease.
Fever and Aguo Is not alone the consequence
Of the miasmatic poison. a great variety OF dis
orders arise from its irritation, among which are
Neuralgia, Rheumatism, Gout, Headache Blind
ness, Toothachc, Earache, Catarrl, Asthma,
Palpitation, Painful Affection Of the Spleen,
Mysteries, Pain in the Bowels, Collie, Paralysis,

JUDGE BATES'S PLATFORM.
Letter from Judge Bates ON the Politi-
cal Questions of the Day.
ST. LOUIS, March, 1860.

Hon. EDWARD BATEs- Sir: AS you
may have learned from the public prints
the Republicans of Missouri met in Con-
vention in this city on Saturday, the 10th
inst, to make declaration Of their prin-
ciples, elect delegates to the National Re-
publican Convention, and complete a
State organization. All Of this the Con-
vention executed, in manner wholly
satisfactory to its members. 1t also COM
mended you, by resolution, to the Ma
tional Republican party as one we'll wor-
thy to be the standard-be Of that
party in the coming presidential election.
This fact the undersigned have pride and
pleasure in communicating TO you, know
ing that throughout your life you have
carried out, as far as a private citizen
might, the sentiments contained in the
resolutions adopted on Saturday, and a
copy of which we enclose. But as you
have voluntarily remained in private life
for many years, your political opinions
are consequently not so well underst TODD
by the Republican party at large as by
the Republicans of Missouri.
Inasmuch as the delegation from this
State to the Chicago Convention intend
10 present your name TO that body as
candidate for the Presidency, we, in com
mon with many other Republicans of
Missouri, desire to procure from you an
exposition of your views on the engross
ing political question Of the time. We
hope that Notwithstanding your well
known reluctance to appear before the
public in the light of a Presidential asp
rant, you will not refuse to answer the
following interrogatories, which, in our
Judgment, involve all the issues pending
between the two political parties of the
country: '
Isl Are you opposed to the extension Of slav-
cry? .af' "a
ID Does the Constitution of the United
States carry slavery into the Territories, and as
subsidiary to this, what is the legal effect of the

caf
9TH. Do you recognize any neq uality ofrights

ernmentto protect American citizens at home

stitutionaland legal rights, privileges, and i'm
munities T ~ III rs
9Th. Are you in favor Of the construction Of
srailroad from the valley of the Mississippi to
the Pacific Ocean, under the auspices OF the gen

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 ceases
to secrete sufficiency of bile. 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
slight impurity at the fountain head of life
the Blood ? AS if you had thrown some earth,
for instance, in a pure spring, from which ran a
tiny rivulet, in few minutes the whole course
of the stream becomes disturbed and discolored.
AS quickly does impure blood fly to every part,
and leave its sting behing. All the passages
become Distracted, and unless the obstruction
is removed, the lamp of life soon dies out
