Ague Cure.
ron THE Speedy CURE OF

Intermittent Fever, or Fever and Ague,
Remtttent Fever, Chill Fever, Dumb
AgUe, Periodical Headache or Bilious
Iesdaehe, and Bilious Fovcrs; indeed
for the whole class of diseases orig INIT
rug in-billnry derangcment, caused by
the Malaria OF MihsmatIc Countries.
We are enabled nero TO offer the community
remedy which, while itnurrs the above complaints
with cortainty, is still pspfccily harmless Ia any
quantity. Such rcincdy is invaluable IN districts
whore these allictihg disorders prevail. This
'"CrnE" eNpelS the IniaSmalic poison Of FEHER
ASn AGCE from the system, and prevents the de-
ycOpmcnt Of the disease, if taken on the first ap-
proach Of prclnonitory symptoms. Itisnot only
the best remedy ever yet discovered for this class
sOf complaints. hut also tho cheapest. The large
quantity we supply for dollar brings it within the
each of every budy; aud IN bilious districts, where
lEyER ASp AGvE prcYails, every body should
have it and Use it freely both FOR cure aud protcc
tiOn, a great superiority Of this remedy sovey any
other ever discovered for the speedy and certain
cure OF mtcrmitrcnts is that it contains no Quninc
Or mineral, consequently it produces no Quinism or
OtheriD effects whatever upon the constitl-
tiOn. Those cured by it are left us healthy as IL
they had never had the disease.
Fever aud Ague is not alone the Consequence OF
the nIiasmatc poison. A great variety of dsor-

SINGULAR WAR INCIDENT.

days, so near at hand seemed the
deadly strife, q solitary sheep leis-

killed the sheep, and, dropping his
gun, advanced to remove the prize.
In an instant he was covered by q
gun in the hands ola Union vidette,
who said," Divide is the word or

position was assented to, and there

press is q literal imPractica6ility where
such q law exists; every newspaper from
the moment when that law is made law,
becomes, in exact terms, dePe0dent for its

of government. Indeed, no honest man
engaged in the publication Of a newspaper
that pretends to be independent will con
tiuue his ''pursuit" for one moment under
such conditions. Never win any bat cheats
and slaves come before the public with
the pretence Of free speech in their mouths
when they know that they can be sileDeed
in q minute by q Davis, q Seddeu,
or q Benjamin. Declarations of these
truths, we know, are the strongest
possible e1hOrIStions to corrupt meu that
they leave no stone unturned to get the
Presidents Press Law passed. Whether
their influence with Congress is sufficient
remains 70 be seen but il Congress deter
mines to interfere with the actual Law on
this subject, We hope it will do so by q reg
uIatiOn foTbidding the publication Of any
