agent; while as preventive it is I'M
equalled, as its use will certainly exempt
all who may live in unhealthy localities,
from the ravages of this disease

THe statement that during the recent
earthquake at africa. Peru. five hundred
mummies were thrown 10 The surface,
is confirmed by travellers, who report
that the desert hills in that region are
filed with the desiccated bodies of the
aborigines. The preservation IT these
remains Of mortality is attributed to
the climate, and also to the soil, which
is impregnated with nire. The bodies
of the natives are inferred in shallow
graves, and the wind removes the light
sands covering them, so that even in
ordinary times hundreds Of so called
mummies, wrapped in coarse grass
mating, or in crumbIing nets, have
been exposed.

FEVER AND AoUE,z<Prof. Salisbury
asserts, and has in fact proven, that the
cause of fever and ague is microscopic
aquatic vegetable, which Is indigenous
TO the soil OF malarial districts. He
claims that the spores of this plant rise
in the air and are inhaled into the lungs,
TINS entering the circulation. Their
presence and growth cause all the
symptoms characteristic Of this disease.
A large class Of diseases are gradually
being referred 10 microscopic examine
