FOR THE SPEEDY CURE OF
Intermittent FeUer, or FeUer and Ague, Re-
mittent FeUer, Chill FeUsr Dumb Agae, Pc
yiodicaJ Headache, or Bilious Headache, and
Bilious FererS, indeed, for tie aohoEe class Of
diseases originating IN hillary arrangement,
caused by the Malaria Of Niasmatc Co1na-
tries.
We enabled here to offer the community a
remedy which. while it cures the above complaints
with certainty, is still perfectly harmless in any
quantity. Such a remedy invaluable in districts
where these affecting disorders prevail. This
g CURE " expels the miasmatic poison of FEVER
AND AGUE from the system, and prevents the de-
veopments of the disease, if taken the first APP
proaCh of its premOnitOry symptoms. 1t is not on
y the best remedy yet discovered for this
Oh complaints, but also the cheapest. The large
quantity supply for 4 dollar brings it within
tho reach Of everybody; and IN bilious districts,
where FEVER AND AGUE prevails. everybody should
have it and use it freely, both for and proec
ton. A great superiority of this remedy over any
other ever discovered for the speedy and certain
cure of Intermittents il that it tains no Qunne
or Mineral, consequently it produces no quinism
injurious effects whatever upon the constitution
Those cured by it are left healthy if they al
never had the disease.
Fever and Ague is not alone the consequence of
the miasmatic poison. great variety of disor-
dreas arise from its irritation among which are
Neuralgia, Rhetraatism, cont, Headache, Blindness,

blood, and consequently cures them all alike tits
an invaluable protection TO immigrants, persons
travelling temporarily residing in the maiarius
districts If taken occasionally daily while
exposed to the infection, Tint VIII be excreted
the system, ana cannot accumulate ia sufficient
quantity to ripen into disease. Hence it is even
more valuable for protection than cure, and few
will ever suffer from Intermittents if they avail
themselves of the protection this remedy affords.

ScrOfula, or Kings Evil,

IS constitutional disease, corruption Of the bloc
by which this find becomes vitiated, weak, ana
poor. Being in the circulation, it pervades the I
whole body. and may burst OFT in disease on any
part Of it. No organ is free from its attacks, nor
is there one which it may not destroy. The scrofu
lous faint Is caused by mercura disease low living
disordered unhealthy food, impure air, filth and
filthy habits the depressing vices and. above all,
by the venereal Infection. Whatever be its origin,
it is hereditary in the Constitution, descending
g from pareRts to children. unto the third and
fourth generation - indeed, it be the rod
of Him who says, - will visit the inquities Of the
fathers upon their children. -
Its effects commence by deposition from the
blood Of corrupt or uicerous matter, which, in the
lungs, liver, and internal organs, is termed tuber-
cIes; in the glands, swellirgs; and, the
surface, eruptions sores. This foul corrup-
ton, which genders in the blood, depresses the en-
ergies Of lie, that scrofulous constitutions not
only suffer from scTofulous complaints, but they
have far less power TO Withstand the attacks OF
other diseases consequently vast numbers perish
their nature still rendered fatal by this faint
in the system. Most Of the consumption which
decimates the human family has its origin directly
tructive diseases of the liver, kidneys, brain, and
indeed, of all the organs arise from aggrav-
ted by the cause.
One quarter Of all people are scrofulOus
their persons invaded by this lurking infection
and their health is undermined by it. To cleanse
il from the system must renOvate the blood by
an Alternative medicine, and iHvigorate it by healthy
food and exercise. Such a medicine We supply

Battles near PALMYRA. Mo.

The rebels have been marshaling
their forces in considerable numbers
along the line of the Hannibal and st.
Joseph Railroad, with the determine
ton Of bitterly opposing the occupan-
cy of that great highway by the I'm
ion men Of Missouri and Illinois. A
few days since they made an attack
on Monroe station, about thirty miles
west Of Hannibal, in the absence of
the Federal guard, and burnt the sta
ton house and "a cars. Col. Smith
of the 10th Illinois regiment had pre-
viously planned an attack upon the
rebel camp. On starting out he, for
some reason, failed to leave sufficient
guard at the station. The rebels elu-
ded his pursuit and committed the
dcpredatons before he could come up
with them. After the cOnaagration
he attacked them at two different
times, and both times routed them
killing four, wounding several, cap
turing five prisoners and ten horses.
The most of the rebel troops were
mounted, and numbered about 1000.
Col. Smith had with him 500 of the Sd
Iowa Regiment, 200 of the 10th
Illinois regiment, and 100 Of the Han
nibal Home Guards. The rebels were
commanded by Brig. Gen. Harris. At
last accounts Col. Smiths command
occupied the brick college building at
Monroe, and the rebels, 1900 strong,
had surrounded them and placed can
non ready to destroy them. Aid from
the west was expected that evening,
and two or three regiments from llli-
nois had gone to the rescue.
LArER-Ex.Gov. Wood of Illinois
came to the rescue of Col Smith in
good time, with 800 mounted men,
riding across the country over thirty
miles in four hours. The rebels were
Immediately attacked, and soon dis
perscd in all directions. IS rebels
were taken prisoners, and 90 to so
were killed. One gun and a large
number of horses were captured. The
rebel General escaped by abandoning
his horse and running into the woods.
