Whatever name or designation IS given to cause of Fever and Ague, or other intermittent disease, it is always malaria. Eliminate that from the sys- tenn, and sure cure is the immediate result. The safest, surest, most effect ual and, at the same time, perfectly harmless preparation for producing this happy effect, is CLItFoRD's FEBRI- FUGE. It represents, in their utmost purity and free from all irritating prop critics, the remedial principles of the East India Cinchona bark, as grown on the Neilgherry hills. It is the most powerful antidote to malaria known, and yet as harmless as water.

We would have you read FIRST, YOUR OWN HOME PAPER. It is your home paper that feels for your interests, and that furnishes you such informa- tion as most intimately effects your in terests. But, says our ordinary fault finder, you don't give us reading matter enough. Don't we? We'll, we give yon far more than you can get ou. of any book which costs you the same sum of money.

We are now going to make you an offer to meet this objection of not enough reading. It is this:

Illinois.
 The Review is hanesomely printed. i6-page folio, and has all the depart ments which any first class agricultural journal ought to have, all edited ably and industriously.

 Re member this offer is for only 50 days, and you should send your names at once for this offer.
