FOR THE SPEEDY CURE OF
Intermittent Fever or Fever and Ague,
~ EN- ttent Fever, Chill Fever. Dunn b
Ague, Periodical Headache, or Bill
Hons Headache, and Bilious Fevers,
indeed for the whole class of diseases
originating m Hillary arrangements
caused by the Malaria Of Miasmatic
Countries
We are enabled here to offer the community
remedy which, while it cures the above CON-
plants with certainty, is still perfectly harmless
in any quantity. Such a remedy is invaluable in
districts where these affecting disorders prevail
This "Cure" expeis the misssmatic robson 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 vet discovered
for this class Of Complaints but also the cheapest.
The large quantity we supply for a dollar brings
it within the reach OF everybody; and in bilious
districts, where Fever and Ague prevails, every
body should have il and use 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
il produces no quinism or other injurious effects
whatever upon the constitution. Those cured by
il are left as healthy as II they had never had the
disease
Fever and Ague is not alone the Consequence
of the mias matte poison. great variety of dis
orders arise from its irritation, among which are
Neuralgia, Rheumatism, Gout, Headache. Blind
ness, Toothache Eafache, Catarrh, 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 IL taken Oc-
casionally or daily while exposed 10 the infection,
that win be excreted from the system. and can
not accumulate in sufficient quantity to ripen into
disease. Hence il is even more valuable for pro
lection than cure. and few will ever suffer fiom
Intermittents If they avail themselves Of the pro
lection this remedy affords. PREPARED by

There is a general desire expressed among the
people for an extra session of the Legislature, so
that they may arrive at correct knowledge of
the management and condition of the public af-
fairs of the State Important and delicate duties
have recently been entrusted to State officers,
and the people want an account of their steward
ship. The officers themselves. if they have faith
fully discharged the trust reposed in them, should
be equally anxious to render it. If there ever
was a time when the most rigid economy was de-
manded in the administration Of the Government,
in all its departments, it is now. vast
public debt will necessarily be created. The
report of the Secretary of the Treasury
are rapidly increasing. the resources of the Gov
eminent are being diminished through the chan
nels we have heretofore received them. To
meet the current expenditures of the Govern
ment, and the interest upon the pnblc debt, di-
rect tax has become necessary. This must be
provided for. But in providing for it, the people
do not want federal tax gatberers among them
another army of federal officers. Whatever
tax Indiana has to pay, measures should be taken
to place il upon tax list, and collect il the
same as other taxes. Certainly the reasons we
have given, with others that might suggest them
selves, seem an ample justification for converting
the Legislature in extra session, and if il is not
done, the people will arrive at the conclusion that
there is something rotten in Denmark with
reference to the management of Our State af-

MEDICAL.
SCrOfula, or Kings Evil

Is a constitutional disease, a corruption of the
blood, by which this fluid becomes Initiated, weak
and poor. Being in the circulation, il perva6es
the whole body, and may burst out In disease on
any part oft. No organ Is free from its attacks,
nor is there one which it may 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 It's origin, IL is hereditary in the
constitution, descending "from parents to chill
dren unto the third and fourth generation" indeed
it 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 ulcerOus matter, which, in
the lungs, liver and internal organs is termed tn
bercles; in the glands, swelings and on the sur
face, eruptions or sores. This foul corruption,
which genders in the blood depresses the ener-
giles of life, so that scrOfulcus constitutions not
only suffer from scrofnlous complaints, but they
have far less power to Withstand the attacks Of
