DRESS DISPLAY Rrnukrp.-If cher,

DRESS DISPLAY REBUKEp.-If there
is one place more than another where
simplicity should characterize the dress,
it is the school room. The object for
which the children are here gathered is
certainly. not the display Of the wealth
or tenderness of their parents Any
thing which diverts the attention of the
pupil from bis school duties is an injury
to him; but it will accord with the OBJ
servation of teachers, that fine clothes
oftener work mischief to their wearer in
this respect than mean clothes do. The
highest.minded children are oftenest
found in plain garb, while those bering-
cd. and be.ruffled, and otherwise showily
attired, are generally quite destitute of
Intellectual home culture. Their moth.
or have been too busy with their clothes
10 pay much attention to their brains.
This sounds severe would it were it
not true. While over attention TO toilet
matters is hindrance to study, negli.
geDce, untidiness are as carefully to be
avoided. Clean clothes, plainly made
need not be expensive, either of time or
money, and proper regard to personal
cleanliness in all its details is what
every person owes to himself or his as
sociates. 1t is very desirable that the
pupil should have at least two school
suits, for in the crowded school.room the
clothing soon becomes saturated with
the exhalations floating in the atmos
phere. and airing of the clothes every
two or three days is necessary to keep
them fresh and sweet.

Ayers sAgue Cure,

For Fever and Ague, Intermittent Fever.
Chill Fever, Remittent Fever, Dumb Ague,
all the affections which arise from malari-
GUS, marshs or miasmatic poisons.
This is a compound remedy, prepared with
scientific skill from vegetable ingredients, which
rarely fails TO cure the severest cases of Chills
and Fever and the concomitant disorders. Such
a remedy the necessities of the people in mala-
rious districts demand. Its great superiority
over any other medicine yet discovered for the
cure OF Intermittents is, that IL contains quiz
nine or mineral, and those who take it are free
from danger Of quinism or any injurious effects,
and are as healthy after using il as before. 1t
has been extensively employed during the last
thirty years in the treatment Of these distressing
disorders, and so unvarying has been its success
that ithas gained the reputation of being infal-
lble Itcan, therefore, be safely recommended
as sure remedy and specific for the Fever and
Ague of the West, and the Chills and Fever OF
the South. 1t counteracts the miasmatic poison
in the blood, and frees the system from its infu-
ence, so that fever and ague, shakes or chills,
once broken up by il, do not return until the
disease is again contracted,
The great variety Of disorders which arise front
the irritation of this poison, such as Neuralgia,
rheumatism, Gout, Headache, Blindness,
Toothache, Earache, Catarrh, Asthma, Pal
pltdtlOn, opitnlC AHcttlOHs, III ybttTiCbs rain
in the Bowels, Collie, Paralysis, and derange-
of the Stomach, all of which become intermit-
tent or periodical, have no speedier remedy than
AYERS AGUE CURE, which cures them all alike,
and protects the system from future attacks. As
preventive, it is of immense service in those
communities where Fever and Ague prevails, rs
it stays the development of the disease if taken
on the Grst approach Of the premonitory symp'
toms. Travellers and temporary residents arc
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 from torpidity,
it is an excellent remedy; it stimulates this organ
into healthy activity, and produces many remark
able cures where other medicines fail.
