A Health Dcstroyiur ynnnr

Is generated by the action of the suns rays
upon damp decaying vegetation, stagnant
pools, and marshy, low lying traos. The
true nature Of this miasma is by no means
clearly understood, but there are two facts
in relation to it that are. The first is, that
the periodical levers which it breeds are of
the NEST virulent type; the second is, that
these maladies are rarely cured, although
they may be amelorated, by the ordinary
remedies employed to overcome them. The
true antid0te to the effects of masma is
llostettet's Stomach Btters. This medicine
is one Of the most popular remedies OF an
age OF successful proprietary specifics, aud
is in immense demand wherever on this
Continent fever and ague exists. A wine.
gassful three times a day is the best posi-
bic preparative for encountering maarous
atmosphere, regulating the liver, aud nvig.
Grating the stomach.

Chronology Of Tobacco.

ll96-Romanus Pane, Spanish
monk, whom Columbus, on his second
voyage, left in America, published the
first account of tobacco under the name
of "Cohoba."
l53j.--The negroes on the plantations
in the West Indies began to use it,
1853. - Jean Nicot, envoy from France
to Portugal sent some of the seeds to
Paris and from him it acquired the
name Of Nicotiana. When it was first
used in France it was called "IIcrbe du
Grandc Pricur,' of the house of Lorraine
who was very fond of it, 1t was called
Ilcrbc de $. Croix,' from Cardinal
st. Croix, who first introduced it into
Italy.
l57O.--At this date in Holland to-
bacco was smoked in concal tubes,
madc of palm lcavs plated together,
l57j.--First appeared a print of the
plant in Andre rhcvet's Cosm graphic.
l5S5.-Thc English first saw the In
dians of Virginia ne clay pipes, from
which time they began to be used in
Europe.
l6Oi-,James the First of England
sought to abolish the Use OF tobacco by
very heavy imposts upon it.
l6l0.-Thc smoking of tobacco was
INDUCED in at Constantinople. To
render the custom ridiculous, Il TUX,
detected thus using the plant, was led
through the streets with a pipe thrust
through his nose,
l6l5.-Thc cultivation of tobacco was
begun in Holland.
16l9.-,Iames the First ordered that
no planter cultivate more than one hun
dred pounds.
l62O.-Smoking introduced into Ger
many.
l63l.-First introduced into Austria
by Swedish troops.
l634.-The use of tobacco forbidden
in Russia under the penalty OF having
the nose cut off.
l653.-First used in Switzerland.
where the magistrates at first punished
those found smoking; but the custom
soon became too general to be sup
pressed.
l690.-Pope Innocent XII excommu-
nicated all who should take snuff or use
tobacco while at church.
1724.-Pope Benedict revoked the
above Bull, AS he himself used tobacco
immediately.
