Fever and Ague,

from which mankind suffer over a large part of
the globe, is the consequence of diseased action
In the system, induced by the poisonous miasm of
vegetable decay. This exhaiation is evolved by
the action Of solar heat wet soil. and rises with
the watery vapor from it. While the sun is below
the horizon this vapor fingers neaeihe earth's
facr, anS the virus is taken viii, it through the
lungs into the blood There it irritating
poison the internal yiscera and excreting organs
of the body. The liver becomes torpid and fails to
secrete not only this yirgs but also the bile from
the blood. Both the virus and the bile accumulate
in the circulation. ard produce violent cons:itu-
tional disorder. The spleen. the kidneys, and the
stomach syrnpathize 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
in the internal excretores to force them to cast it
out. The blood leaves the surface. and rushes to
the central organs with conscstire violence. This
is the CHitI. But IN this effort Il falls Then the
FEVER follows ia which the blood leaves the
tral organs and rashes to the surface, as if in
another eor: to expei the irritating poison through
that other great excretory-fhe skin. In this
also it fails, and the system abandens the attempt
exhausted, and waits fer the recoTery Of strength
to repeat the hopeless effort another day. These
are the fits or paroxysms of FEVER AND AGUE.
Such constitutional disorder VIII OF course under
mine the health IL i. is not removed.

THE METROPOLITAN
Washing Machine.

III NfiiS wonderful Machine is remarkable for the
j following properties which it is warranted to
possess 1t does no. wear the clothes, and never
breaks a button 1t cieanses thoroughly the most
delicate clothing ard rinses clear. 1t is very SIM
pie. very strong and durable. and can har ilv get
out OF repair. 1t is light and portable, and when
not IN use takes no room than the common
wash tubs common hand can with ease and
perfect safety TO the clothing wash faster and bet.
ter than fo'ir wasierwomen can bv hand.
This machine has been greatly improved since
le5S. and Is now perfect. 1t nov operates much
more easily and weighs only between 60 and 10
pounds. all put mp. and when taken down-whch
can he done IN one fourth of a minute-is so light
that child IL years of age move it about
Why all other Machines Fail
is because they rub oniy the surfaces Of the cloth
taking it for granted l,as the clothes soci on
iy upon the surface and that the dirt aust be rub
bed off as one would clean board.
Washing by HIND is Wrong,
because the rubbing of the surface of the cloth is
wholly unnecessary and is great waste of strength
as well as great injury to the fabric.
OBSERN that the cloth soilcd is always scIe,l
through and through. and that it cannot be cleans
ed without being washed through and through
TIE Reason achy the Metropolitan Succeeds
is because It forces the water powerfully through
the fabric between the pestles aud the action OF
the water displaced by the FOUNDER carries the
clothes from the outside TO the centre of tie tub
presenting contiruous fresh surface OF clothes to
| the action Of the poundcr. thus washing every
portion of the clothes thoroughly and equally.
The Time and Labor .Sared
is more than one half. Washngs which require
all day by hand, by this Machine generally
done in less than one-half dav The clean
sing process is done in fourth the time. The
cleansing, rinsng and wrineing and hanging out

and no person can possibly rinse as we'll BIZ hand

CT rather does what is OF service to those sub

system in health although exposed to the disease
Consequently it not only ceres, but protects FROM
the great variety of affections which are induced
BY this malignant influence, such as Renittent
Fever. Chill Fever, Dumb, or Masked Ague,
Periodical Headache, or Bilious Headache. Bilious
Feyers, Neuralgia, rheumatism, Gout, Blindness,

removes the cause of these derangements and cures
the disease.
This it accomplishes by stimulating the cxcre-

these organs by degrees become habited to do this
their Office of their accord. Hence arises what
We term acelimatation. Time may accomplish the

reason to believe this is a as well as safer

important advantage to the pubic, which is, that
it is cheap as well good.
