Ague Cure,

FOR THE SPEEDY CURE OF
Intermittent Fever, or Fever and Ague,
Remittent Fever, Chill Fever, Dumb
Ague. Periodical Headache, or Billions
Headache, and Bilious Fcvers, indeed
for the whole class Of diseases Origi-
mating In hillary dcrAngcnont, caused
BY the Malaria Of miasnatic countries.
No one remedy Is louder called for by the
necessities of the American people than sure
and safe cure for Fever and Ague. Such
we are now enabled to offer, with perfect
certainty that it win eradicate the disease,
and with assurance, founded on proof, that
no harm can arise from its use III any guam
tity.
That which protects from or prevents this
disorder must be of immense service in the
communities where it prevails. Prevention 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 nliasmatie poison of FKvER AND AauE
from the system and prevents the develop
ment of the disease, If taken on the first up
proach of its premonitory symptoms. 1t is
not only the best remedy ever yet discovered
for this class of complaints but also the
cheapest The large quantity we supply for
a dollar brings il within the reach of every
BODY; and in bilious districts, where FEVER
AND Aoug prevails, every body should have it
and use it freely both for cure and protection.
II is hoped tins price will place it within the
reach of all--the poor as well as the rich. A
great superiority Of this remedy over any
other ever discovered for the speedy and GER
tain cure of Intermittents is, that IL contains
no Quinine or mineral consequently ii pro-
duces no quinism or other injurious effects
whatever upon the constitution. Those cured
by it are left as healthy a. If they had never
had the disease.
Fever and Ague Is not alone the consequences
of the miasmatic poison. A great variety OF
disorders arise from its irritation, among which
are Neuralgia. Rheumatism, Gout, Headache
Blindness, Toothache, Earache, Catarrh, Asth.

the blood, and consequently cures them al
alike. 1t is an invaluable protection to immi

Not Paid OB.-The rumor prevailing
here Tuesday that the soldiers who served at
Charlestown would be paid OFT this week,
has not been verified so far. Ii We are not
mistaken, this interesting operation cannot
be performed until the re-assemblng of our
Legislators at Richmond, who have yet to
provide the cash. There is no earthly or I'M
earthly reason for this delay, except want
of proper regard for the convenience, and in
somess cases, the neCessi ties of those who re-
sponded so promptly to the requirements of
the State, and yet it will not astonish us ii
the necessary appropriation is withheld for
a month longer.-Pet Express.
The whole number of NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. in

wounding 956 persons. During the year
$22, 000,000 worth Of property was destroy
