Kemlttent Fever, Chill Fever, Dumb
Ague, Periodical Headache, or Bill
Iious Headache, and Bilious Fevers,
indeed for the whole class of diseases
originating IN hillary derangement,
caused by the Malaria of Miasmatic
We are enabled here TO offer the community
remedy which, while it cures the above COM
plants with certainty is still perfectly harmless
in any quantity. Such a remedy is invaluable in
districts where these affecting disorders prevail.
This Cure expels the misasmatc poison of
Fever and Ague from the system, and prevents
the development of the disease, if taken on the
first approach of its premonitory symptoms. IL
is 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
it within the reach of everybody; and in bilious
districts, where Fever and Ague prevails, every
body should have it and it freely both for
and protection. A great superiority of this
remedy over any other ever discovered for the
speedy and certain cure of Intermittents, is that
it contains no QuiniLe or mineral, consequently
it produces no quinism or other injurious effects
whatever upon the constitution. Those cured BY
it are left healthy as II they had never had the
disease.
Fever and Ague is nos alone the consequence
of the mias matte poison. A great variety of dis.
orders arise from its irritation, among which are
Neuralgia, Rheumatism, Gout, Headache. Blind
ness, Toothache, Earache, Catarrb, Asthma, Pal
pitation, Painful Affection of the Spleen, Hys-
terics, 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 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 If taken oc-
casionally or daily while exposed TO the infection,
that will be excreted from the system, and can
not accumulate in sufficient quantity to rpen into
disease. Hencejt is even more valuable for pro
lection than cure, and few will ever suffer flom
Intermittents if they avail themselves of the pro
lection this remedy affords. Prepared by

EDITOR SENrrsEI: The citizens of Louisville
are celebrating Christmas hugely and in their
eagerness the horrors of war are forgotten for the
time being. Rife whisky has been uppermost TO-
day, and rifle cannon are nowhere.
We have had no exciting war news lately with
the exception of dispatch to the Democrat of
this city Yesterday that battle was in progress
some ten miles east of Mumfordsville, and all
that they had in regard to it that heavy can.
nonadIng was heard in the distance, when this
morning it turned out to be artillery practice in
Gen. Wilson's brigade.
The health of the soldiers in this department is
none of the best, and | fear to tell any where
near the number in the hospitals for perhaps your
readers would think l was exaggerating. but
suffice it to say that some seven or eight hos
pitfalls are full and more arriving daily The
principal diseases are measles and pneumonia.
There has been troops arriving daily for al
most week, among which a number were from
the Hoosier State. This morning Col. Wyn
coop's regiment of Pennsylvania cavalry arrived
by steamer from Pittsburg. They have gone in
to camp near Jacksonville. Indiana.

SCrofula, or Kings Evil

Is a constitutional disease, corruption of the
blood, by which this fluid becomes Initiated, weak
and poor. Being in the circulation, it pervades
the whole body, and NAV burst out in disease on
any part oft. No organ is free from its attacks,
nor is there one which it NAV not destroy. The
scrofulous faint is variously caused by mercurial
disease, low living, disordered or 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 "from parents to chill
dren unto the third and fourth generation indeed
il seems TO be the rod Of Him who says: al will
visit the iniquities Of the fathers upon their chill
dren'
Its effects commence by deposition from the
blood of corrupt or ulcerous matter which, in
the lungs, liver and internal organs is termed tn
bercles; in the glands, swellings and on the sur
face. eruptions or sores. This foul corruption,
which genders in the blood, depresses the ener-
giles fife, so that scrofulous constitutions not
only suffer from scrofulous complaints, but they
have far less power to withstand the attacks OF
other diseases; consequently vast numbers perish
by disorders which, although not scrofulous in
their nature, are still rendered fatal by this taini
in the system. Most of the consumption which
decmates the human family has its origin directly
in this scrofulous contamination; and many de
structve diseases of the liver, kidneys, brain, and
indeed, of all the organs, arise from or are az.
grayated by the same cause.
One quarter of all our people are scrofulous
their persons are invaded by this lurking infec
ton, and their health is undermined by it. TIC

blood by an Alternative medicine, and invigoratt

Mr.. Cravens submitted the following resolu-
tion
ResoIued, That the Committee on Military
Affairs be, and they are hereby, instructed to in
Quire into the expediency of establishing post
hospital at New Albany. or some other convenient
point in Southern Indiana, for the accommoda
ton of sick and disabled soldiers employed in the
West
Mr. Cravens 1 ask that a letter from a dis
tngushed citizen of Indiana upon this subject,
which send to the desk, may be read.
The Clerk read the letter follows:
INDIANAPOLIS, IND, Dec ~, 1861.
Ny Dear Sir: After my compliments I wish to
call your attention to the lamentable defect in
our hospital accommodations for soldiers in the
volunteer service This may be easily remeded
by the establishment of post hospital on the
Southern border of Indiana. The falls of Ohio
or Evansville either affords excellent localities
for this purpose The erection of hospital at
General Government expense for the reception of
the disabled soldiers would not only comport with
the humanity of the age in which we live but it
would be the means of saving thousands of val
liable lives which now under the imperfect sys-
tenn Of army medication, are lost Ii would be
economy for the Government TO establish hos
pista:s in which all the chronic sick might be
placed and treated until il was ascertained wheth
er they were durable or not. The advantages of
establishinga post hospital for the patients of
each State are briefly these, namely: To cure
more of the sick. to accommodate them better,
and, moreover TO give friends in each State an
opportunity of removing them, whenever the sur
geon may think advisable, to domestic hearths,
where all the comforts may be extended TO the
dying soldier. As it is now, the sick soldier,
when his disease is chrome and beyond the reach
of remedies, is left to the mercies of men whose
object is to deal with the strong and healthy.
think it crying shame that our citizen sol
diers should be left in canvas tents, when they
are sick, to exc out life Of wretchedness almost
in sight of home. If the service could be ben
Gifted by retaining inyalids init, then there would
be some apology for pursuing the present hospital
policy.
drop You these few hints to call your atten-
ton TO the subject. Your experience In the late
war with Mexico enables you to speak author
itatively about this matter. JAMES 5. ArHoS.

Compound Extract of Sarsaparilla.

The most effectual remedy which the medical
skill of our times can devise for this everywhere
prevailing fatal malady. 1t is combined from the
most active remedials that have been discovered
for the expurgation of the foul disorder from the
blood, and the rescue of the system from its de
structive consequences. Hence il should be EN-
employed for the cure of not only Scrofula, but
also those other affections which arise from il,
such as Eruplive and Skin Diseases St. Anthony
Fire. Rose, Eryspelas, Pimpies, Pustules, Blotch-
es, Blains and Boils. Tumors, letter and Salt
Rheum, Scald Head, Ringworm, Rheumatism,
Syphiiitic and Mecurial Diseases Dropsy, Dys-
pepsia, Debility, and, indeed, alt Complaints
arising from Initiated or Impure Blood. The
popular beliefin "impurity of the blood" is found
ed in truth, for Scrofula is degeneration of the
blood. The particular purpose and virtue of
this Sarsaparia is to purify and regenerate this
vital fluid, without which sound health is impos
sible in contaminated constitutions.

lent cotton lands in SoatherH Illinois. The fact
has been notorious for years And We suppose
all intelligent people know why these lands hare
been devoted TO the culture of cotton only 20
about the extent that New England farmers cul
tivate fax---a little for their own consumption.
The reason Is, white labor can not be obtained in
sufficient supply TO procure crop; and lift could
be obtained. il is too dear 20 admit Of profitable
crop NEGRO labor Is required The harvest of
the crop requires the work of large number
of hands, and these must be forthcoming at the
nick of time or the crop is lost. These can De
forthcoming only a. they shall be at the con
slant command Of the cultivator. and they can
be at his command only by some compulsory
process. 80.
The presumption Is that negro slavery viii not
be introduced into Illinois. Ii is not needed and
the sentiment of the State is averse TO il. But
negro apprenticeship NAV be introduced into the
State, and this is needed in the cultivation OF
cotton. IL is indispensable TO It's successful cul-
tivation. It's introduction and the cultivation OF
cotton would speedily add millions 70 the annual
production Of Illinois. IL would bring the eight
or ten million acres of our cotton lands under
speedy cultivation, and these immense prairie
wastes would be made to blossom as the white
rose And there Is serious difficulty in the
way of introducing this labor. Passing events
are furnishing a plentiful supply OF it. The
question viii soon De lOfCtu upon OTtAltE4i
States whether they will take it and use it. or
leave the instruments Of it TO idleness and pau
perism and crime. In truth. the negro question
will shortly be what il has not been before with
the North--e practical question. We shall have
the race ia hundreds of thousands at our doors
before the lapse of another twelve-month. This
will be inevitable though there be no general
emancipation, as there must not be. What shall
we do with these hundreds Of thousands of black
barbariansl Shall we make laborers Of them in
fields where their labor will be valuable, or shall
we allow sickly Abolition sentimentality to
make vagabonds Of themr Not a few vagabonds,
not a few thousands vagabonds, but to hundreds
of thousands of vagabonds, swarming like To-
Gusts.
| Here is a question the decision of which Hi
nois ought to take by the foreock- Here is a
Que ston the decision of which will determine the
valde of the cotton land of Illinois. Let nobody
take the wrong side of it in haste. Let every
body canvass it in all its aspects before making
up his mind upon it. A system of African ap-
premiership can not be offensive to any body of a
right mind. 1t is not offensive TO anti-siayery
England and anti slavery France. who have not
negroes on their hands with whom they know not
what to do, but who must bring them from AT
RIGA for the express purpose of making useful la
borers of them. We shall have them on oui
hands. and we must choose whether they shall be
useful laborers or worthless agabonds-whetheI
they shall add great wealth great taxes to the
