from 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 soil and rises with the watery vapor from it. While the sun is below the horizon this yapor fingers near the earth's face, and the virus is taken with it through the lungs tito the blood There it acts as an irritating l. 1an on the internal vscera and excretng organs ! ro, .dy. The liver becomes torpid and fails to
 ieesast only this virus but also the bile from AinBoth the virus and the bile accumulate trfe circulation, and produce violent constitu- tional disorder. The spleen, the kidneys and tho stomach sympathze with the liver, and become disordered also Finally, the instinct of our ganisrn, as if in an attempt to expel the noxious infusion concentrates the whole blood of the body in the internal excretores to force them to cast it out, The blood leaves the surface, and rushes to the central organs with congestive violence. This is the CHILL. But in this effort it fails. Then the FEVER follows, iii which the blood leaves the cen- tral organs and rushes to the surface, if in another effort to cXpel the irritating poison through that other great excretory the skin. In this also it fails and the system abandons the attempt exhausted, and waits for the recovery of strength to repeat the hopeless effort another day. These the fits or paroXysms of FEVER AND AGuB.
