RELICS OF TIE OLD TEE.

Thirty or so, years ego, seems q long
time. Yet 10 those who shivered and shock
along the banks of the Mississippi then, and
on the freshly broken lands away back from
the foliage of the river belt, it may seem
but one day. How, then, they, one and all
save BY exoeption-shook and shivered .
On the one side of the trees of the river belt
they shook and fevered under the sun on
the verge of the dreary river swamps; and,
beyond, on she other side of the bluffs, the
same pestiience met them from the newly

dread disorder. One after another arose well
meaning physicians and presented their in
fallible cures; and, in most cases with the
very best intention. The disease qusiled,
and was partially quelled. But, with the
saccess Of the new course of treatment, arose
scores of incom petent physicians; men who
strove TO earn q living on the virtues of
drugs, without having learned how to com
pound them. This, of course discouraged
