The diseases set up in the system by the
poison called malaria are classed under two
heads-regular and irregular. Thesreguiar
forms are known as intermittent (alSo
called chillS and fever, fever and ague,) and
remittent Tor bilious fever.
The regular intermittent fever (also called
fever and ague), which produces distinct
chill, followed by a high fever, and an IN
terval Of one, two or three days OF entire
relief, is well known in malarial localities,
especially by the earlier settlers. When
the chill and fever occur every day 1t is
called quotidian ague; every other day,
tertian ague; and every third day, quantan
ague. The longer the interval between the
chills the more difficult of cure 1t is hence
the quartan ague is the most obstinate. In
intermittent fever there is distinct chill,
followed by distinct fever, distinct sweat
>ng stage, and afterward an Interval OF
\pmplete cessation of all symptoms, leaving
one seemingly perfectly well. g.

The medic6 treatmAt of any form of
malarial diseases, where y here is distinct
intermissionf whether of e intermittent,
remittent, irregular Ape. should be
mainly betY Zen the attacks, Spd not during
the paroxyih. In the interim tent variety,
during the &htermission, a win&glassful of
Pe-rr-na II cry two hours (childSen in pro-
portion) Should be taken until kur doses
are taken, litter which tablespoonful every
hour durinH the remainder of the irtermis-
sion, until the time for the next chill has
passed. Aid when the disease is stopped a
tablespoonful every two hours during the
day should be taken for ten or fifteen days,
or until the cure is permanent A wine
glassful should also be taken at the first
symptoms of a chill 1t is seldom that
second chill occurs after this treatment is
begun, but the above treatment should be
repeated after, each chill, if any do occur.
In cases where no regular inetrmisslon oc-
ours, but is very irregular and uncertain.
Pe-ru-na should be taken as directed on the
bottle.
No other medicine whatever is required.
Any medicine in this disease is better re-
ceived by the stomach during the remission
than during the hot stage. No quinine is
necessary at any stage of the disease, as
Pe-ru-na meets every indication from first
to last, and no injurious effect will follow
the use of very large doses of it, which is
sometimes necessary to check the more Sc
we're cases.
