with the best in the state. Following il

The true nature of this miasma is by no

first is, that the periodical fevers which it

second is, that these maladies are rarely
cured, although they may be ameliorated,
by the ordinary remedies employed to
overcome them. The true antidote to the
effects of miasma is Hostetter's Stomach

The Monmouth Revieou has the follow
ing very fattering tribute to our esteemed
townsman, Judge Peasants;
This is the fourth week of our circuit
court. For the past two weeks the Hon.
Geo. W. Peasants, of Rock Island, has
been presiding as judge. We are sorry to
learn that the Judges health has been
such as to render it exceedingly difficult
and painful for him, much of the time. to
occupy the bench. His health is better
this week, and we hope it may continue to
improve. The members of the bar and
the people appear to be much pleased
with the Judge. The estimation in which
the judge is held by those who have the
best opportunity of knowing bis ability
and integrity, can be readily seen from the
fact that he was assigned by the supreme
court as one of the judges of the appellate
court of the Chicago district, the most i'm
portant district in the state. Judge Pleas
ants is indeed Judge, such as any court
ought to be proud of.
