One OF the great scOurages Of th
present year in all parts of Americ
has been malarin., This is a troubl

dangerous IN its resaIts as to jusil,

roneous ideas upon The subject that
few worts are In order at lime whei
people are subject to malarial infn
ences.
Malaria, which simply means bar
air, is the common name OF q class o
diseases which arise from spores o
decaying vegetable matter, thrown
off from stagnnnt pools or piles o
vegetation undergoing decomposi
tion. These spores when inhaled
with the breath or. taken into tht
system with water soon enter tht
blood and terminating there find .
fo0thold, whereby the whole system
is Poisoned aud the various functions

Of disease was fret advanced, Il wa,
