GREEN TEA,-A friend handed us a small
bunch of green tea-the bone tfde green tea of
China grown in Hyde County, which VIC
lave tried and find excellent. With the cxcep-
ton of slight fresh green TASTE it was de
cidedly superior to the tea brought all the
way from the Celestial Empire. And this
taste, We are satisfied, was the result of its not
being sufficiently cured. We know not how
much can be grown to the acre, nor the time,
care and expense necessary to cultivate and
raise it. But we suppose that it might be
successfully and profitably grown and prepared

tariffs have to be paid, and though the money

others will try. Let us make everything at

The Rock Island location has its firm friends

principal drawback is the very low price Of
pork. which, il the market was a little more
favorable would be coming in a little more

from which mankind suffer over large part of the globe is the consequence of a diseased action in the system, induced by the poisonous miasn of vegetable decay. This exhalation is evolved by the action of solar heat wet soil. and rises with the waterv yapor from it. While the sun is below the horizon this vapor fingers near the earth's sur face. and the virus is taken with it through the lungs into the blood Thsre 1t acts as an irritating poison on the internal viscera and excretng organs of the body. The liver becomes torpid and fails to secrete not only this virus, but also the bile from the blood. Both the virus and the bile accumulate in the circulation, and produce violent consttu~ tional disorder. The spleen. the kidneys. and the stomach sympathize with the liver, and become disordered also. Finally, the instinct Of our or ganism, as if in an attempt to expel the noxioIs infusion, concentrates the whole blood of the body in the internal excreores to force them to cast 1t out. The blood leaves the surface, and ruShes to the central organs with congestye violence. This is the CHILL But i'll this effort it fails. Then the FEVER follows, in which the blood leaves the cen tral organs and rushes to the surface, if in another effort to expel the irritating poison through that other great excretory the skin In this also it fails, and the system abandons the attempt exhausted and waits for the recovery of strength to repeat the hopeless effort another day. These are the fits or paroxysms of FEVER AND AGUB. Such constitutional disorder will of course under mine the health ii it is not removed.

 We have labored to find. and have found, an 4on+i1ata
Year: 1861

 Intermittent Fever, or Fever and Asue,

 ISemittent Fever, Chill Fever, Dumb

 Ague, Periodical Headache, or Bilious

 Headache, and Bilious Fevers, indeed

 for the whole class of diseases origi-

 mating in biliarY Arrangement, caused

 by the Malaria of miasmatic countries.

 No one remedy is louder called for by the necessities of the American people than sure and safe cure for Fever and Ague. Such we are now enabled to offer, with perfect certainty that it will eradicate the disease, and with assurance, founded on proof, that no harm can arise from its use in any quan- tity.

 That which protects from or prevents this disorder must be of immense service in the communities where 1t prevails. Prerention is better than cure, for the patient escapes the risk which he must run in violent attacks of this baleful dstemper. This ssCuRE" expels the miasmatic poison of FEVER AND AGUE from the system and prevents the develop ment of the disease, if taken on the first ap- proach of it's premonitory symptoms. It is not only the best remedy ever yet discovered for this class of complaints. but also the cheapest. The large quantity we supply for a dollar brings it within the reach of every body; and in bilious districts, where FEVER AND AaUE prevails, every body should have 1t and use 1t freely both for cure and protection. It is hoped this price will place it within the reach of all-the poor as well as the rich. A great superiority of this remedy over any other ever discovered for the speedy and cer- tain cure of Intermittents is, that 1t contains no Quinine or mineral, consequently it pro- duces no quinism or other injurious effects whatever upon the constitution. Those cured by it are left as healthy as if they had never had the disease.

 Fever and Agueis not alone the consequence of the miasmatic poison. A great variety of disorders arise from its irritation, among which are Neuralgia, Rheumatism, Gout, Headache, Blindness. Toothache, Earache, Catarrh, Asth- ma, Palpitation, Painful Affection of the Spleen, Mysteries, Pain in the Bowels, Collie, Paralysis, and Derangement of the Stomach, all of which, when originating in this cause, put on the intermittent type, or become period ical. This CURE" expels the poison from the blood, and consequently cures them all alike. It is an invaluable protection to immi- grants and persons travelling or temporarily residing in the malarious districts. If taken occasionally or daily while exposed to the in- lection, that will be excreted from the system, and cannot accumulate in sufficient quantity to ripen into disease. Hence it is even more valuable for protection than cure, and few will ever suffer from Intermittents, if they avail themselves of the protection this remedy af- lords.

In consequence of the very heavy rain last
week and Sunday, the country presents now
a very different appearance from what it did
some time ago. Hundreds of fields are COW
cred with water but fortunately, few of
them are under corn. Nearly all the potato
fields show symptoms of disease in the tops,
but the general opinion is that the tubers, so
far, are but very little affected. The turnip
crop alone profits by the rain, and it is every
where most luxuriant. 1t is matter of re-
gret that this valuable root is not grown
more extensively in this country, for which
the soil and climate are so~well adapted.
Near Dublin and Cork many fields Of corn
are already cut, and on the route from Dub
lin to Kilkenny much of the crop is dead
ripe, SO that, with few days dry weather,
Feaping will commence generally. There is
every reason to believe that even now fine
weather would do much to restore the crops
and repair the injury they have suffered
from the rain; and the present appearances
coupled with rising mercury and the ad'
vent of new moon yesterday, promises ia
Vorable weather, which, it is hoped, will mo-
prove tallaeious.
