Fever and Ague,

rom which mankind suffer over a large part 81
the globe, is the consequence of diseased action
n The system. induced by the poisonous miasm OF
vegetable decay. This exhalation is evolved BY
The action OF solar heat on wet SOIL and rises with
the watery vapor from it. While the sun is below
the horizon this vapor fingers the earths sur
face, aud the virus is taken with it through the
lungs into the blood. There it acts irritating
poison on the internal viscera and excreiing organs
of the body The liver becomes torpid and Fails to
secrete not only this virus, but also the bile from
the blood. Both the virus and the bile accumulate
in the circulation. and produce violent consti,u-
iional disorder The spleen. the kidneys. and the
stomach sympathise with the liver, and become
disoriered also. Finally. the instinct Of oar or
ganism, as If in an attempt to expcl t.le noxious
inf1sion concentrates the whole blood OF the body
in the internal excrctores tn force them to cas-. il
out. The blood leaves the surface, and rushes TO
tae central organs with congesfive violence. This
is the CHILL. Bat in this effort i, i,iis. Then the
FEVER follows in which the blood leaves the CEN
trail organs and rushes to the snri,sc. ii in
another effort to eype! the irritating poison through
that other great excretory skin. In this
also it fails and the system abandons the attempt
