Ayers Ague Cure,

which nesltralixes this malarious poison in the blood and stimulates the liver to expel it from tke body As it shsnd 80 1t does this afflictng disorder with perfect certainty And 1t does more, or rather does what is of more service to those sub lect to this infection. If taken in season it expes 1t oas the system it is absorbed, and thus keeps those who use 1t free from its attacks; keeps the system in health although exposed to the disease. Consequently it not only crcs, but protects from, tue great variety of affections whish are iBdscea by this maiignsnt influence, such as Remittent Fever. Chill Fever, Dumb, oy Masked Ague, Periodical Headache, CT Bilious Headache, Bilious Feyers, Neuralgia, Rheumatism, Gout, Blindness, Teothache, Earache, Catarrh, Asthma Palpita- tions Painful Affections of the Spleen Mysteries, Cohc, Paralysis, and Painful Affections of the Stomach and Bowels, all Of which, when arising fros1 this cause will be found to assume more or les. the intarrsittent type. This "AGus CUHE" removes the of these derangenents, and cures the disease.
 Vhis if accompli4hcs by stimulating tao exsre- tories to expel the vrls from the systcn; and these organs by degrees become habited 10 do this their oth a of their 0wn SC Sord Hence arises what we term ntIkr1rvafioa lime may accomplish tse ,a,ne o4ld but often fife s not long enough, is sacrificed in the sttespt Thie this " ACus CURB tsr4s it at once, and with safety. We have great reason to belietc this is s sursr as well ss safer remedy for the whole class of diseases which are caused by tl.e niasnatic infection, than any other which has been discoyered and t has still another important advantage to tho public, which is, that 1t is cheap as well as good.

Fever and -Ague,

from which mankind suffer over large part of the plobe is the consequence of diseased action in the system, induced by the poisonous nasln of vegetable decay. This exhalation is evolved by the action of solar heat wet soil, and rises with the watery yapor from it. While the sun is below the horizon this yapor fingers near the earths sur face and the virus is taken with it through the lungs into the blood. There acts as an irritating poison on the internal viScera and excreting organs of the body The liver becomes torpid and fails to secrete not only this virus, but also the bile from the blood Both the virus and the bile accumulate in the circulation, and produce violent constitu- tonal disorder The spleen, the kidneys, and the stomach sympathize with the liver, and become disordered also. Finally, the instinct of our ganism, as if in an attempt to expel the noxious infusion, concentrates the whole blood of the body iu the internal sxoretores to force them to cast 1t out. The blood leaves the surface, and rushes to the central organs with cengestiye violence. This is the CHILL. But in this effort it fails. Then the FEVER follows, in which the blood leaves the cen- tral organs and rushes to the surface, as if in another effort to expel the irritating poison through that other great excretory -the skin. In this also it fails and the system ahandons the attempt exhausted and waits for the recovery of strength to repeat tse hopeless effort another day. These are the fits or paroxysms of FEVER AND AGuE. Such constitutional disorder will of course under mine the health if 1t is not removed.

their country, its laws and Constitution. And
others, whose names were once "a supposed"
tower of strength, have also tallen-not into
the grave, but into the baseness of treachery
and treason, and will go down to posterity
with merited infamy.
Yet, thank God, there are still good men and
true-patriots North and South-who know
their rights, and knowing, dare maintain their

:" Then shall The trumpet kindle war no more,
Nor It's harsh accents jar from shore to shore !;
The cannOn's thunder and the watch-tires light
Shall not disturb the holy hour of night;
The warriors 6erceness and the proud steed's
tramp,
The oath profane, the revel of the camp,
The untold agony, the parting sigh,
The dying groan Of those unfit to die,
Shall cease with strife, and baleful war no more
Write on the earth its curse in human gore.
Then shall the deserts depth send up voice,
And valley shout, and mountain tops re eioice;
The earth shall put her bride vesture on
10 meet her bridegroom, and the glorious sun
Meier see giant-clond stride Der his way,
10 dun the brightness OF his splendid ray.
Truth, IN her purest robes, shall come from
heaven,
And all her blessings to our land be given,
Her unstaned banner from the sky as one,
Shall wave in tranquil triumph Der the Union
The Union unJroken and indirisible.
