Mr.. John Quincy Adams was in his
ninetieth year when Charles Mackay
first visited this country. He was in
excellent health, the cause of which
is explained by DR.. Mackay. "Men and
women" he said, scarcely ever allow
the fresh air of heaven to touch any
part of their bodies except their hands
and face, and even to these the ladies
are Systematically unjust by wearing
gloves and wells. The surface of the
beautiful human form req uires to be for
certain period of every day exposed
to the action of the atmosphere. take
my air-bath regularly every morning,
and walk in my bedroom in puris natur
alibus, with all the windows open, for a
full half hour. / also take water bath
daily. read and write for eight hours
day. ! sleep eight hours, and devote
another eight to exercise, conversation
and meals. 1 feel within myself a re.
serve of bodily strength which, l think
will carry me to hundred years, unless
die by accident or am shot or hang.

A correspondent of the London Ian
Get, who owns water power mills, writes:
/ am frequently compelled, at this sea
son of the year, to have men working in
water even in frosty weather. l find the
following allowance gives great satisfac-
tion to the men, and we never have a
case OF cold or injury to the men in any
way: Kettle of coffee, made with half
sweet milk, half water, three or four
eggs whipped poured into it when of
the boil; hot toasted bread with plenty
of butter ..of the finest quality. Serve
up this every two and half hours. The
expense is much less than the usual al.
lowance of whiskey, and the men work
far better, and if care is taken to have
the coffee, milk (cream is still better)
bread, and especially the butter, of the
very finest quality, the men are delight
ed with it. / am persuaded it would be
worth while to try this allowance in
stead of grog. Giving extra grog gives
the men a notion that it is good fol
them, and perpetuates the belief in
stimulants among workingmen.

For Fever and Ague. Intermittent
Fever, Chill Fever, Remittent Fever,
Dumb Ague, Periodical or Bilious Fever.
&C., and indeed all the affections which
arise from malarious, marsh, or mas
matte poisons.
This is a compound remedy, prepared with
scientific skill from vegetable ingredients, whieh
rarely fails to cure the severest cases OF Cniis
ana Fever and the concomitant disorders sueh
remedy the necessities of the people IN maiaff-
GUS districts demand. Its great superiority over
anv other medicine yet discovered Tor the cure
of Intermttents is, that it contains no quinine OF
,,,peyoI and those who take it are free from
danger of quinism or any injurious effects, and
are as healthy after using it as before. II has
been extensively employed during the last thirty
years in the treatment of these distressing dis-
orders, and SO unvarying has been its success
that 1t has gained the reputation OF being iniaii
ble 1t can, be safely recommended as sure
remedy and specific for the Fever and Ague OF
tbe West, and the Chills and Fever of the
South, which, once broken up by 1t, do not
return until the disease is again contracted
The great variety OF disorders which arise
from the irritation of this poison, such as Neo-
ralgia. rheumatism, Gout, Headaenes
Blindness, Toothache, Earache, Ca
tarrh, Asthma, Palpitation, Splenie
Affections, Mysteries, Pain I'm the Bow
els, Collie, Paralysis, and arrangement OF
the Stomach, all of which become Intermittent
or periodical, have no speedier remedy than
AYERS AGUE CURE, which cures them all alike,
and protects the system from future attacks. AZ
A preventive, il is of immense service in those
communities where Fever and Ague prevails,
as 1t stays the development of the disease II taken
on the first approach of the premoniiory symp-
toms. Travellers and temporary residents are
thus enabled to defy these disorders, and few
will ever suffer If they avail themselves Of the
protection this remedy affords.
For Liver Complaints, arising fro'a
torpidity, It is an excellent remedy; h stimulates
this organ into healthy activity, and pfodeee'
, many remarkable cures where other inedieine'

THE sun.
New York.

The different editions of-THE SUN during the
next year will be the same as during the year
that has Just passed. The daily edition will on
week days be a sheet of four pages, and on Sum-
days sheet of eight pages, or 56 broad columns;
while the weekly edition will be sheet of eight
pages of the same dimensions and character that
already familiar to our friends.
THE SUN will continue to be the strenuous
advocate of ofreform and retrenchment, and of the
substitution of craftsmanship, wisdom, and in
tegrity for hollow pretence, lmbecility, and
fraud in the administration of public affairs. 1t
will contend for the government of the people
by the people and for the people, as opposed to
government by frauds in the ballot-box and in
the counting of votes, enforced by military vio-
lence. 1t will endeavor to supply its readers
aabody not for from million of souls-with the
most careful, complete. and trustworthy ac-
counts of current events, and will employ fOl
this purpose numerous and carefully selected
staff of reporters and correspondents. Its re
ports from Washington, especially, will be full
accurate, and fearless; and it will doubtless con
tinue to deserve and enjoy the hatred OF thos,
who thrive by plundering the Treasury or b!
usarping what the law does not give them, while
it will endeayor to merit the confidence OF th'
public by defending the rights of the peopl'
against the eneroachments of unlustihed power
The price of the daily SUN will be So cents
month or $3.50 year, post paid, or with thu
Sunday edition $40 year.
The SUNDAY edition alone, eight pages, S1.2t
year, post paid.
The WEEKLY Sun, eight pages of Sc broai
| columns, will be furnished during 1877 at th'
rate of 81 a year, post paid.
| The benefit of this large reduction from th
previous rate for THE WEEKLY can be enjoy et
| by individual subscribers without the neccessit.
| of making up clubs. At the same time, if an!
| of ouf friends choose to aid in extending ou
4 circulation, we shall be grateful to them, an'
| every such person who sends us ten or NOR
subscribers from one place will be entitled t
| one copy of the paper for himself withou
| charge. At one dollar year, postage paid, tn
| expenses of paper and printing are barely re
| paid; and, considering the size Of the sheet an
| the quality of its contents, we are confident tn
people will consider THE WEEKLY sun tn
| cheapest newspaper published in the world, an
we trust also one of the very best.
