Ague Cure.
FOR TIE SPEEDY CURE OF

-.fag FOR THE SPEEDY CURE or
intermittent Fever, or Fever and Ague.
Remittent Fever, Chnl Fever, Duml
Ague, Periodical Headache, or Bilious
for the VIII ole class OF diseases orIRlna l.
ing in liOry derRngement, caused by
the Malaria OF AIiasnatic Countries.
We are 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 remedy is invaluable in districts
where these affecting disorders prevail. This
"CURB" expels the miasmatic poison Of FEVER
AND AGUE from the system, and prevents the de-
velopment Of the disease, ii taken OIL the first ap
proach OF its premOnitOry symptoms. ltis not only
the best remedy ever yet discovered for this class
Of complaints, but also the cheapest. The large
quantity we supply for dollar brings il within the
reach Of every body and in bilious districts, where
FEVER AND AGuB prevails, every body should
have it and use it freely both for cure and protcc-
tion. A great superiority Of this remedy over any
other ever discovered for the speedy and certain
cure of Intermittents is that II contains no Quinine
or mineral, consequently it produces no quinism or
other injurious effects whatever upon the constitu
tion. Those cured by it are left as healthy as II
| they had never had the disease.
Fever and Ague is not alone the consequence OF
the miasmatic poison. A great variety Of disor-
ders arise from its irritation, among which are
Neuralgia, hheunldtiSnl, Cont, Hed0dche, Bind
ness, Toofhdche, Eardche, Catdrrh, Asthma, PdL
pitation, Painful affection Of the Spleen, Hyster-
ics, Pain in the Boioels, Colo, Paralysis and De
rangeme,it of tie Stomach, all of which, when
originating in this cause put on the Intermittent
tgpe, or become periodical. This CURE expels
the poison from the blood and consequently cures
them all alike. 1t is an invaluable protection to
immigrants and persons travelling or temporarily
residing in the malarious districts. 1ftaken occa-
sonally or daily while exposed to the infection,
that will be excreted from the system, and cannot
accumulate in sufficient quantity to ripen into dis
ease. Hence it is even more valuable for protec-
ton than cure, and few will ever suffer from Inter-
mittents il they avail themselves Of the protection
this remedy affords.

much smaller vote than we do. We need

What the Ladies are Doing.

From the commencement Of the contest In
whieh We are engaged, the laies of the
south have been prominent and perse veriug
IN their efforts OF encouragement to the cause
OF Southern Independence. From every part
or the Confederate States we hear os the ear
nest enthusiasm of the women, their influence
upon the military preparations of the country
and of their readiness to make every sacr itics
for the success OF our arms. Nor have their
efforts been alone Important AZ diffusiug vitai.
ty and spirit into the opposite sex whenever
needed they have by their own hands mate.
rally aided in cquiping companies AMI shown
that they are willing to do all that their sex
can possibly do for the liberties of our country.
More recently it was officially announced.
that the hospitals in Virginia were in need of
many articles which the labor of the ladies
might supply. No soon er was tho suggestion
made than they Immediately began to prepare
neccssaries for the sick and suffering soldier. -
In several of our neighboring towns and cities
societies for this purpose have been formed :;
aud we are gratfed in being able to announce
that the ladies Of Lancaster willie are not behind
those OF other sections in this labor of love and
patriotism. 1t has ocen proposed, and the pro.
position will probably be adopted, to unite the
two sewing societies, gotten up for the inter es,
OF the Presbyterian aud Methodist Churches in
this place. respectively, INTO a society for the
object indicated above, the funds on hand be-
longing to each, to be also directed to tho same
cause. Thisis most commendiblc move aud
one IN which the ladies of other portions of
the District would doubtless like to participate.
There Is work enough for all, and a concemtra.
