One of the great seourges of the present year in all
parts of America has been malaria This is trouble
so treacherous in its nature and SO dangerous In us

ideas upon the subject, that few words in or

Malaria, which means simply bad air, is the com
mon of class Of diseases which arise from the
spores of decaying vegetable matter, thrown OF
from stagnant pools or piles OF vegetation undergo

the breath, or taken into the system with water,
soon enter the blood and terminating there find 4
foothold, whereby the whole system is poisoned and
the various functions disordered. When the germ

This poison also developed in force in wells and
springs when they become low, and the result of
drinking these is the same breathing the poison

The evils which follow malaria poisoning are al.
most infinite. Diseases of a malignant and danger

Of appetite, shortness Of breath, pains about the
heart, wasting of flesh and strength. despondency,
nervousness, chilly sensations, unaecountabs lassi-

the above symptoms may be an indication of ma

But if malarial poison could not find a lodgment
in the human body, it would be Just harmless as

other organs, and brings diseases of a most dan

which these diseases may be avoided cured after
they have once made their appearance, and that il
by keeping the great purifying organs of the body in
