These pills have been very successful; but
recent experience has shown that the

Iowa the administration of large doses OF

We have diminished the quantity. For

We will remark, in conclusion, that
proper attention to simple hygiene rules
will aid very much in this contest win
malaria. -,
During the g;eklv season always avold
roinc out in the early morn without taklIiS
2our nil, and, if possible, get cup OF
coffee or tea, with little simple food.
Never battle in the rivers during the heat
If the day. Or at any time for more than q
few minutes.
Stay within doors after dark unless ne
ccssitv drives you out, and then wear
woollen clothing and good shoes.
The diet of those inliabitine these DIS
tricts should be simple and laxative, con-
sisting mainly Of fresh vegetables ana ripe
fruit The use of coffee as beverage, or
ten. should be preferred always rather than
any Of the alcoholic drinks. The light
wines of this country or the European white
or red wines whcr pure arc very agreeable,
and generally wholesome. Many oil our
indigenous tonics, such as the dogT0od, the
silkweed, and the boncsct, might be used
to advantage as adjuncts.
Above all, never fail tC take pill night
and morning from the first OF the hot sea-
son until Jack Frost, with his welcome
though icy face, assures us that the unseen
and obstinate foe has been permanently
dislodged from his stronghold. Then the
whole country becomes perfectly saIubrl-
Gus, the glorious Indian summer bathes US
in its balmy atmosphere, and We joytully
throw our pill-boxcs away until the cam
paign opens for another year.

of Medicine held August 9TH, 1869, the re-

imously adopted, and ordered to be pub

on the part Of the Academy to further the
great efforts now making for the encourage
ment of immigration into Eastern Virginia,
and the advancement Of the material lnte-
rests Of the Commonwealth.
