IL VIII eradicate the disease, and with assur-
ance, founded on proof, that no harm can
arise f.om its use in any quantity.
That which protects from or prevents this
disorder must be Of immense service in the
communities where it prevails. PrerenfioB
is better than cure; for the patient escapes the
risk which he must run In violent attacks Of
this baleful distemper. This "CUREn expels
the miasmatic poison Of Fever and Ague
from the system, and prevents the develop
ment Of the disease, IL taken ON the first
approach of its premonitory symptoms. A
great superiority Of this remedy over any
other ever discovered for the speedy and GER
tain cure Of Intermittents Is, that it contains
no Quinine or mineral; consequently it pro-
duces no quinism or other injurious effects
whatever upon the constitution. Those cured
by it are LEFT as healthy as if they had never
had the disease.
Fever and Ague Is nos alone the con-
sequence Of the miasmatic poison. A great
variety of disorders arise from its irritation,
among which are Neuralgia, Rheuma-
tism, Gout, Headache, blindness,
Toothache, Earache, Casarrh, Assh-
mn, PaIpitaffon, Painful Affection
of the Spleen, Mysteries, Pain I'm the
Bowels, Collie, Paralysis, and derange-
ment Of the Stomach, all Of which, when
originating in this cause, put on the inter
mittent type, or become periodical This
"CURED expels the poison from the blood,
and consequently cures them all alike. 1t is
an Invaluable protection to immigrants and
persons travelling or temporarily residing IN
the malarious districts II taken OCCASION
ally or daily while exposed to the infection,
that win be excreted nom the system, and
cannot accumulate In sufficient quantity to
ripen into disease. Hence 1t is even more
valuable for protection than cure; and few
will ever suffer from Intermittents II they
avail themselves of the protection this rem
edy affords.
For Liver Complaints, arising from torpid
ity Of the Liver, it is an excellent remedy,
stimulating the Liver into healthy activity,
and producing many truly remarkable cures,
where other medicines fail.

IT is related of a recent New Eng

years ago, and whose matrimonial re-
lations are supposed not to have been
of thevmost agreeable kind, that one
.Sabbafh morning while reading to his
congregation the parable of the sup
per, I'M which occurs the passage !:
tsAnd another said, have bought five
yoke of oxen, and go to prove them
Ilpray thee have me excused And
another said have married a wife,
and therefore cannot come, ,H-he sud-
denly paused at the end of this verse,
drew off his spectacles, and looking
around at his hearers, said.. with en-
phasis:: Is q The fact is, my brethren,
one woman can dIaw a man farther
away from the Kingdom of heaven
