FOR THE SPEEDY CURE OF

 Intermittent Fever, or Fever and Ague,

 Remittent Fever, Chill Fever, Dumb

 Ague, Periodical Headache, or Bilious

 Headache, and Bilious Feyers, indeed

 for the whole class of diseases origi-

 mating in biliary derangement, 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 1t 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 it prevails. Preve,stion is better than cure, for the patient escapes the risk which he must run in violent attacks of this baleful distemper. This ''CURB" 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 AeUB prevails, every body should have it and use it 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 it 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 miasrnatic 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 1t is even more valuable for protection than cure, and few will ever suffer from Internittents, if they avail themselves of the protection this remedy af- lords.

 Yes; and if you are going along go down to breakfast

10 be eminently pious and respectable to a

OUR CoAsr DEFENcEs-The critical aspect OF
our present relations with England imparts
pressing Importance to the recommendations
contained in Mayor Woods recent communica-
lion to the Board OF Aldermen. SO far as the

with promp. attention from the federal and
State authorities. There is much, however, TO be
done besides mere engineering aad field work
to render our port secure against the enemy
Without men to work onr batteries and to de-
fend the coast in our vicinity against any at
tempt at a landing by hostile force, all the
money that would be thus expended would be
thrown away. Ii is quite certain thai we shall
not be able to withdraw for these purposes any
OF our troops from Virginia or the other border
States. IF we are to have war with England
we shall have to create another army nearly as
large AS that which we have now in the field
TO prevent, for instance, the enemy land
ing on Long Island and taking possession
of the heights opposite New York, we shall re-
quire of least force Of fifty thousand men.
For these we shall have to depend on such ex-
ertions as we can make within the next few

which We hopo to gain in the conflict with treason
and anarchy. 1t is, in every aspect, the greatest
exhibited of popular feeling ever seen on the
globe, and as grand in its motive as in its magni-
tude. Now if this unanmity is glorious. the spirit
ignores it is inglorious. Ii Democrat can forget.
in the cause of the country, that he opposed to

any stronger claims on him than a Democrat If
