from its attacks, nor is there one which it may
not destroy The scrofulous faint is variously
caused by mercurial disease, low living, dis

above all, by the venereal infection. What

Its effects commence by deposition from the

tubercles; in the glands, swellings; and on

We are enabled here to offer the community a
remedy which, while IL cures the above complaints
with certainty, is still perfectly harmless in any
quantity. Such a remedy il invaluable in districts
where these affecting disorders prevail. This
"CrRE" expels the miasmatc poison OF FEVER
AND AGuE from the system, and prevents the de-
yclopment Of the disease, If taken on the first ap
preach Of its premonitory symptoms. It'll 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 1t within the
reach OF e&ery body and in bilious districts where
FEVER AND AGuE prevails, every body should
have il and it freely both for and protec-
ton. A great superiority of this remedy over any
other ever discovered for the speedy and certain
cure of lntermttents is that it contains no Quinine
or mineral, consequently IL produces no quinsm or
other injurious effects whatever upon the constitn-
ton. Those cured by it are left rs healthy as If
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, Rheumatism, Cont, Headache, Blind
ness, Toofhache, Eayache, Catarrh, ASTHMA, Pal
pitatioa,, Painful Afection Of the Spleen, Hyster-
| rcs, Pain IN the Botcels, Colo, Paralysis and De
Yangement of the Stomach. all of which, when
originating in this cause, put the intermittent
| type, or become periodical. This .CuRE" expels
| the poison from the blood and consequently cures
them all alike. 1t il an invaluable protection To
/ immigrants and persons travelling or temporarily
residing in the masarious districts Iftaken occa-
/ sionallv or daily while exposed To the infection
that viii be excreted from the system, aud canno,
accumulate in sufficient quantity to rpen into dis
eases Hence 1T il even more valuable for protec
ton than cure and few will ever suffer from Inter
mitents if they avail themselves of the protection
| this remedy affords.

the heavens, not a flower in the
field which does not declare the
glory of God. To look upon ma
ture, therefore, without reference
to its author, to admire the work
without admiring the workman, is
folly, is stupidity, is atheism. How
cold is the heart and how dull the
understanding ofmen whocontem.

the frst philosopher, who sees
nothing IN the universe but mat

than others, its constitution and
laws, still refuse to acknowledge
an intelligent agent, who made and
