A LEAP FOR LIFE.

After my discharge from the hospital at
Havana, shipped in the American barque
Independence, Captain Robert L, bound
to Valparaiso, and thence round the Horn to
the western coast of North America. She
was large vessel. Of some seven hundred
tons register, with handsome poop, top
gallant forecastle, and all other points Of a
tlash ship. The captain was native OF Jer-
scy, and the crew were a mixture Of Ameri-
cans, British and Sp.niards, with sprinkling
of wooly-heads, or "saO,r-bdiL,," as we called
the negroes.
We had not been week out, ere very
great dissatisfaction prevailed among the
crew, for the captain, with unaccountable
perversity. did not allow US half enough junk
q. c. salted bee0 to our meals; and even
what wo did got, was what sailors call "Oh
horse" Wig: hard, tough, lean, stringy stuff,
devoid Of nourishment. Tho usual allow
ance Of junk on ship-board is ono pound and
half for each man per diem! but am sure
we did not get more than half tha, quantity.
The captain used to come on deck every morn
ing, and stand by the steward as he weighed
out the junk IRON the .'harucss cask," to see
that We did not get an ounce over what he
had ordered. On the other hand. this cap
tain allowed us thrice as much grog as is
usual.s

Since the above was written We have re-
ceived from DR.. Morse paper containing a
very full account Of the peculiar claims which
he makes for the system to which he is dcvo-
ted, and we find that heapplies II with Won
dcrful success not only in the treatment Of
consumption, but also for catarrh, bronchit-
Is, asthma, and all chronic diseases of the
throat and lungs. DR.. NJ. isa gentlcmanly
man, accomplished, modest and very unas-
suming. lie believes he can do something
for suffering humanity; and certainly his
theory proposes no dangerous experiments, no
hazardous-nostrums, which if they do not
cure are almost surs to kill, but he proposes,
as regular, educated and diplomatizcd ply
sician, to apply in the treatment Of Now
England's worst scourgc, the knowledge OBJ
taincd by long and careful study and extern
sivc and successful practice. We have the
names OF quite number ofpersons in Bruins.

from DR.. Ms treatment, but We have not
room to be more specific to-day. Some Of
the persons thus treated are we'll known in

such our purpose. our object Is to present
the general idea, which we think carries with

We will only add that DR.. CHARLES MORSE,
of Portland, q physician of the most thor
ough and regular education, claims to stand
at the head Of this system in this part ofthc
country. He practices it, and seems fully
posted in relation to it, and we have abun-
dant evidence Of the general success which
has attended his treatment, and the very
great confidence rcposed IN him by those who
have become acquainted with his system Of
treatment. Wo have written the above, not
at his request, or even with his knowledge,

FOR THE SPEEDY CURE OF E. tcrfaiitent Fever, or Fever and Asue, 1 EkenitieHt Fever. Chill Fever, Dumb
 Arue, Periodical Headache. or Bilious 45eadacbe, and Bilious Ffyers, indeed for tae whole class of diseases Origi- aatigg a biliary deranserlent, caused

Such we are now enabled to offer, with perfect certainty that 1t will eradicate the disease, and with lssurance, founded on proof, that nc harm ci. arise from its use in any quan- tisv.
 That which protects from or prevents this dis0I0f must be of immense service i'll the communities where it prevails. Preceation is better than cure, for the patient escapes the risk which he must run in violent attacks of this buietul distemper. This "CuRE" expels the masnatic poison of FEVER AND AGUE from the system and prevents the develop ment 0f the disease, if taken on the first ap- proaeh of its premonitory symptoms. It is not 1ly the best remedy ever vet discovered for this class of complaints, but also the chc est. The large quantity we supply for ! ar brings 1t within the reach of every hc' and in bilious districts, where FEVER
 AGUE prevails, every body should have it g. lse 1t freely both for cure and protection.
 hoped this price will place it within the
 h of all-the poor as well as the rich. A great superiority of this remedy over any other ever discovered for the speedy and cer- tain cure of Intermittents is, that it contains no Quinine or mineral, consequently it pro- duces no quinism or other injurious effects whatever upon the constitution. Those cured by it are left as healthy as if they had never had the disease.
 Fever and Ague is not alone the consequence of the miasmatie poison. A great variety of disorders arise from its irritation, among which are Neuralgia, Rheumatism, Gout. Headache, Blindness. Toothache, Earache, Catarrh, Asth- ma, Paptation, Painful Affection of the Spleen, Mysteries, Pain in the Bowels, Collie, Paralysis, and Derangement of the Stomach, all of which, when originating in this cause, put on the intermittent type. or become period ical This "CuRE" expels the poison from the blood, and consequently cures them all alike. It is an invaluable protection to immi- grants and persons travelling or temporarily residing in the malarious districts. If taken occasionally or daily while exposed to the in- lection, that will be excreted from the system, and cannot accumulate in 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 af- fords
