Editorial Summary.
“ From grate to gay, from lively to severe.*’
We praiss God for the evidences of his favor
that are being manifested in different parts of
our State ; and we earnestly invoke a contin
ued and full outpouring of his Spirit, which
shall be for the healing qf many sin-sick souls,
and the refreshing of languishing Zion. May
the Pastors and the people of our State labor
and pray together, and not be satisfied till God
bestows a blessing. Would that a general re
vival spirit animated each church! that the
sanctuary might be found crowded and sinners
be induced to cry, What must we do to be
saved ?
From various quarters, we have received in
telligence of protracted meetings, and we will
endeavor to condense the reports as much as
is fit.
Sugar Hill , Ga.
Pro. B. 11. Cobb writes that a nine days
meeting at this church resulted in the conver
sion and baptism of 21. He says ‘‘a meeting of
more interest and united feeling has never
been witnessed in this part of Georgia.” El
ders W. C. Smith, J. E. Rieves, J. M. Davis
and J. Human were present, and labored with
becoming zeal and energy : S. Roberts who
lately commenced exercising also took part.
Traveller's Rest. .
Pro. C. C. Willis informs us that this church
has been favored with a precious Revival—the
meeting commenced on the 28th of July, and
closing on the sth of August. Ten were ad
ded to the church —seven by baptism and three
by letter. He says, “I was aided by brethren
llornady, Camp, Chaudoin and Ross; and
cannot say that I ever enjoyed a better meet
ing-”
Bctliel , Muscogee Cos.
This church continues to be blessed by the
Almighty. Pro. Willis, writing on the 7th
says, “on Sabbath morning last I baptized six
more—4 interesting young ladies, one of my
sons and a negro man.’- This made thirteen
in all. On Wednesday night, God met us at
our prayer meeting and graciously gave us an
other soul: on Saturday we received three and
on Sabbath morning at the very water’s edge,
we received two.more.
The Lord has given me two of my children
in this Revival, liless the Lord, Omy soul!”
Union Ilill , Forsyth Cos.
A meeting closed on the 18th ult., that re
sulted in 27 additions to the church —2(f by
immersion, of whom six were between 30 and
40, and 20 between 15 and 10 years of age.—
Out of the whole number, 23 professed con
viction and conversation in the meeting.
Blakely.
The church at this place has been blessed.
The meeting continued 23 days, and resulted
in the hopeful conversion of 20.
Neriah , Coweta Cos.
A meeting commenced on a Saturday be
fore the 4th Sabbath of last month, and con
tinued 0 days. Eleven were added to the
church by baptism, and others claimed a hope
in the Savior. Pro. Thomas S. Allen writes :
“We had a glorious time. We could say
bless the Lord, Oh my soul, and forget not all
his benefits. Let God have all the praise.—
Pro. Dodson preached for me one day. Lord
revive the work of grace in the heart of all his
people is my prayer.
Yours in the love of Christ.
We hear of meetings in various directions,
but will say nothing of them until we receive
definite reports.
New Pastor.
We are rejoiced to hear that the Augusta
Church has a Pastor, at length ; and we wel
come Brother Huntington to our State.
“It affords me much pleasure in saying to
you, that bro. Huntington has accepted the
call of the Augusta Baptist Church. He is
an able theologian—a good preacher, and is
said to be a devoted Pastor. Thank God for
these “gifts unto men,” “for the perfecting of
the saints, for the work of the ministry, for
the edifying of the body of Christ.’”
Yours &c.,
W. J. HARD.
Literary Dignitaries.
At the receut commencement of Furman
University, Brethren E. T. Winkler, Charles
ton, S. C., and 11. 11. Tucker, of Penfield,
were advanced to the Doctorate.
We are glad to make the announcements ;
for they are both well deserved.
Rev. Mr. Bowen.
This distinguished missionary hero has be
come domiciled at Rio Jeneiro. lie writes
th it the Catholics have already noticed him as
an “ana-baptistbut this is of course a good
advertisement of him and his work. His
health is much improved, and he is much en
couraged. The only draw back is the very
high price of board; $5 per week being the
lowest rate. Should our Board find the ex
pense too heavy, bro. Bowen says, he will go
into the interior and work until he die. The
Institutions of earth have no degree to confer
on him, equal to bis merits.
Extremely pleased.
No doubt Messrs. McKinney & Cos. We be
lieve you, and believe you will be pleased to
sell all the other recipients of your stereotype
letter, a package of Lottery tickets for S2O.
But how is it that to each and all you can
sav, “we believe we can sell you a prize,” and
that you ‘‘have such great confidence in your
being able to do that, we make you this liber
al offer ?” Very honest and truthful are you,
Messrs. McKinney & Cos. Savannah, Ga.
Think you that we heed your advice.
“ “Please allow this letter to be strictly con
fidential, as we do not wish to make this liber
al offer to every one.” ?”
Now know all men, by these presents, that
the above firm of lottery ticket venders, of
Savannah, Ga., are distributing stereotype let
ters, making to each and all the above specious
and wicked promises, and that we received one
for our special benefit.
Ratiocination.
Stebbins might be considered equivalent to
steppings ; and a man who makes steppings is
stepping ; and a man who is stepping is walk
ing , and one, when walking , walks ; and
whosoever walks is a walker ; so that Joseph
Stebbins may be Joseph M alker.
Not the way.
Friend “R” of the “Banner & Baptist” does
not take the right way, in our opinion, to re
but Bro. Hillyer’s arguments. Declamation
nor indignation prove or disprove a principle.
We have heard an able man say that Dr. Hill
yer’s arguments and positions were the strong
’ est he had seen in support of the views ad
vanced, though ho did not agree with them.
“R” knows well that Prof. Ilillyer does not
deem a church “infallible; ” but if his posi
tions and arguments lead to that, let “R’’ show
the falseness of the premises or the want of
logic in the argument. Don't try to get up a
sensation against D. D’s. Now we confess
not to have been convinced by either Hillyer,
Dawson or Mell, that no church has a right
under any circumstances to receive one
excluded from another. But when we begin
to publish on the matter, we shall go back to
first principles, and show the unsoundness of
premises. If one side or the other can’t be
sustained by scripture or fair argument, it is a
pretty sure sign of weakness. Now we shall
very shortly bring out a most interesting and
pertinent series in the “ Rights of churches, as
sociated and unassociated ,” which will endeav
or to refute the conclusions of brethren Mell,
Hillyer and Dawson, by no less a person than
Dr. Joseph S. Baker.
So we advise those who want to see these
matters thoroughly discussed to subscribe for
the paper. And we may add that names wi
der known than ever Dr. Baker’s, will write
for us on this subject, and not only on this, but
a great many others. This we say merely to
whet the curiosity of our readers to see the
supplement that we will bring out next week.
We merely mean to prove to them that we
are determined to make the “Index” a good
paper; and we simply advise all those who
want to be instructed and entertained to sub
scribe at once. This present number we think
pretty fair.
Good words.
By variety we will give extracts
from 3 letters, that reached us from distin
tinguished sources.
“Permit me to congratulate you in the ed
itorial management of the “Index.” You give
us weekly a good, readable paper, and one
which gives general satisfaction to Baptists.
I would not have any change, as none is need
ed.” C.
“I am pleased with the improvement—
pleased with your plans as developed.”
H.
“The “Index” I find is gaining in popular
ity.” C.
Difference.
Bro. C. B. Martin says in the “Banner &.
Baptist”:
“On the 30th of May, 1860, myself and bro.
J. 11. Canfield, acting as a Presbytery, consti
tuted a church with twelve members, on the
articles of faith, held by the Coosa Baptist As
sociation, on Spring Creek, Cherokee County,
Alabama. The church was named Naza
reth.”
Perhaps he means that twelve brethren and
and sisters constituted themselves into a
church, being counseled and advised, and per
haps assisted by brethren Canfield and Mar
tin.

Bible Board.
It is contemplated to raise a permanent fund of
$25,000 for the Bible Board of the S. B. Con

be said that he will be one of fifty to give SSOO
each, SIOO to be paid when the fifty names
are secured and the remainder in four annual
installments. In this proposition it is agreed
that a church or two or more individuals may
unite their names in making the subscription
of SSOO, thus enabling all to participate in the
work.
Mediating Committee.
The good offices of the mediating commit
tee, appointed by the Mississippi Baptist State
Convention, have been cheerfully accepted by
the First Baptist Church, upon the basis under
which they were appointed. A communica

of the acceptance of the Church, states that
the Committee will be in Nashvile on the 15th
of August. May their coming be directed by
the Savior to the promotion of the best in

FOREIGN.
Garibaldi’s conquest of Sicily is com
plete. The Neapolitan troops, by order
of Francis ll—who bases this unexpected
action on humane grounds—have evacu
ated Messina and Syracuse, leaving the
Sicilians masters of themselves and their
island home. Thus, in scarce a month
from the the time Garibaldi with his few
volunteers landed in Sicily, it is free.
At Naples the revolutionary feeling in
creases, and the appearance of Garibaldi
on the main land is daily expected.
Revolutionary demonstrations had ta
ken place at Naples.
Genoa, July 21.—-Advices from Sicily
state that Garibaldi left Palermo on the
18th, with 5,000 men. His destination
was unknown. It is reported that Gari
baldi has disembarked on the Neapolitan
coast.
A Paris telegram says, the Sardinian
government consents to support Garibaldi
in a proposal for six months’ truce between
Naples and him.
Naples, July 20. —A detachment of the
Royal Guard having endeavored to force
the National Guard to cry “Down with
the Constitution !” the latter resisted the
attempt. The King has promised that
the Royal Guard shall be immediately dis
solved.
SYRIA.
Paris, July 24.—The Porte has instruc
ted its Ambassadors at Paris and London
to officially communicate to the Courts of
the Tuilleries and St. James, the conclu
sion of peace between the Druses and Ma
ronites on the 10th inst.
In this official communication the Porte
although expressing its satisfaction at this
happy event, adds that it will, neverthe
less, pursue with the utmost vigor the au
thors of the late massacres, and that Fuad
Pasha had to that end been invested with
the most-ample powers, not only to pun
ish the guilty parties, but also, to take
such measures as would prevent the recur-
rence of fresh conflicts between the Dru
ses and Maronites.
Already from 8,000 to 10,000 men have
been slain, the most of them massacred in
cold blood, without even the show of re
sistance. Not less than 30,000 have been
driven as fugitives from their homes, the
most of them widows and orphans, who
are now dependent upon charity for their
subsistence.
The French Consular reports received
from Syria, state that the massacres which
had taken place are the result ofa conspi
racy with Mussulman fanatics. The re
port having spread among the Druses that
European diplomacy was about to drive
away the Turks from Europe, they deter
mined on exterminating the Christians in
Syria.
A debate in the British Parliament, on
the coast defences, especially the speech
of Lord Palmerston, had created great
uneasiness in regard to France.
The Way to Manage Horses. —Never at
tempt to clean or otherwise disturb your horse
while eating his meals, unless you want him to
bite and kick. But when you clean, take him
out of the stall, and make a business of it. Tie
your horse in the centre of the stall, unless
you want your horse to do as most horses do,
drive more on one rein than on the other. Hor
ses that are liable to cast themselves in their
stalls, should be tied with a neck halter, giving
them much more freedom of the head than the
nose halter. Gentleness, firmness and mode
ration will subdue the most obdurate. —Ncir

Largest Sale on Record in Arkansas.—
The Chicot (Ark.) Press says: Joshua M.
Craig, Esq., of Chicot county, lias recently sold
to Judge Griffin, of Washington county, Miss.,
his magnaficent plantation known as “Leland,”
situated about ten miles below Columbia, and
consisting of 3,200 acres, 1,700 of which are
under cultivation—the balance in timber; also
his negroes to the number of 103, old and young
—l2O being working hands—9o head of mules,
and the entire stock of farming implements, &c.
—all for the sum of four hundred thousand
dollars. One hundred thousand dollars to be
paid on the first day of January next; the bal
ance in seven yearly installments of $42,856,
each with interest at 8 per cent, annum. In
addition to this, Mr. Craig reserves the present
year’s crop of cotton and corn, and eleven fam
ily servants.
With the above addition to bis’ immense
planting interest, Judge Griffin will be enabled
to produce annually about eight thousand bales
of cotton, unquestionably the largest individual
cotton interest in the world.
How Yellow Fever Rumors are Manufac
tured. —A gentleman just arrived from Augus
ta informs us that many persons there are fool
ish enough to believe that the yellow fever is
actually now raging in Charleston. By way
of showing how such ridiculous stories are orig
inated, we may mention an accident which has
come to our notice. Mr. L. C. Doming, a mer
chant of Augusta, lately advertised for a clerk.
A young man from Charleston applied for the
place, and when pressed for his motives in quit
ting Charleston, alleged that the yellow fever
was quite severe here. Mr. Doming, well aware
of the absolute immunity which our people have
so far enjoyed from the visitations of Yellow
Jack, dismissed the applicant, with a gentle in
timation of doubt as to his veracity. Served
him right.
Our friends in the country may rely with per
fect confidence on the columns of the Mercury,
as the faithful and unshrinking chronicle of the
real state of the health of Charleston.— Char.

DIED.
In Linton, Ga., on the 12th ult., after a protrac
ted and painful illness, Mrs. Adams, in her fiftieth
year.
Our departed friend and sister united with the
Baptist church in early youth, and during subse
quent life adorned in an eminent degree, her pro
fession, exhibiting much of “the mind that was in
Christ,” and commending to others by precept and
example the choice of “that good part” which was
never taken from her. Asa friend, relative, mis
tress and parent, she justly merited and received
the esteem, affection and devotion of those who
knew her in these relations.
During her painful illness no murmur escaped
her lips, but on the contrary, praises and thanks
giving were rendered continually to the God of
her salvation. With a “meek and quiet spirit”
she was resigned to the will of-her Heavenly Fath
er, and as dissolution approached she only feared
that her great anxiety to “depart and be qvith
Christ,” might be sinful. In her last hours ema
ciated nature seemed to revive, and its wasting
faculties to possess unnatural vigor, so that she
sung audibly to all around, a favorite hymn—beg
ged weeping friends and children to shed no tears
for her, that she was going home to ‘a better land,’
soon to join the heavenly hosts, a portion of whom
seemed present holding sweet communion with
her, and ready to escort her departing spirit to its
blest abode.
Thus slept in Jesus an humble and
Christian, who now lives in the climes of immortal
glory. The absence of her pious counsel and God
ly walk, fond children and a large circle of kindred
and friends mourn, but not as those without hope.
Her example may we imitate as she followed Christ,
and like her may we ‘die in the Lord,’ and let out
works follow us. A FRIEND.
Miss Malinda Ham, died in Vienna, Dooly coun
ty, Ga., on the 17th July, 1800, aged 14 years.
The Sabbath School at Vienna met on the 29th
and passed the following as a tribute of respect :
Whereas, death has entered our midst and ta-
ken from among us our well beloved sister pupil,
Malinda J. Ham, who was cut off in the bloom of
youth, when hope was buoyant and the anticipa
tions of the future undimmed by the disappoint
ments of the past. Asa daughter and pupil she
was invariably obedient and respectful ; as a sister
gentle and affectionate ; as a friend, true and faith
ful ; as an associate, affable and kind. Be it there
fore
Resolved, That as the Sabbath School mates of
Malinda, we feel that we have sustained an irrepar
able loss. When we assemble for recitation our
eyes involuntarily turn to the vacant scat, (which
seat was never vacant since the School existed un
til she was taken with her last illness.)
Ba it further Resolved, that the relatives of the
deceased have our hearty condolence in this their
bereavement, and that a copy of these resolutions
be handed to the relatives ; also that a copy be
forwarded to the Southern Christian Advocate and
Christian Index, with a request that each paper
publish the same.

Died, of Congestive Remittent Fever, at his
residence in Putnam county, on Wednesday, July
25th, 1800, Grorge W. Walker, Esq., in the 42d
year of his age-
He had been a member of the Baptist church at
Ramoth for nearly thirteen years, and had walked
worthy of his vocation. His neighbors lament an
honest citizen ; his brethren a liberal member. His
youthful wife mourns a tender and provident hus
band ; and his four little children have lost a do
ting and affectionate father.
May their trust be in Him who is ‘a father to the
fatherless and the widow’s God.’ H. M. 11.
In Quitman county, Georgia, July 11th, 1860,
Mrs. Scyntha Moore, consort of brother Simpson
Moore.
Sister Moore was baptized by brother Jesse H.
Campbell into the fellowship of the Baptist church
in Clinton, Jones county, Ga., on the “lath Aug.
1836, and has been a consistent member ever since.
She bore her affliction, which was long and severe,
with that fortitude that characterizes the suffering,
dying and confident Christian. She'sang the prais
es of that Jesus who died for her sins, and rose for
her justification, loud, strong and distinct, a few
moments before she expired,
‘ We are traveling home to heaven,’ &c.,
‘Jerusalem my happy home,’ &c.,
clapping her hands in triumph, then falling asleep
in Jesus. She leaves behind an affectionate .hus
band, nine children and many friends and acquain
ces to mourn her departure. E. J. W.
Departed this life in Vineville, July 28th, of ty
phoid fever, Mrs Sarah Perkins, consort of Wm.
Perkins, aged 22 years. She leaves a kind hus
band and three small children to mourn her loss.
She was a devoted wife, affectionate mother, and
was liked by all who knew her. Yes, Sarah is gone
to join the angels around the Throne of God.—
Weep not for her, her friends so dear, nor spend
your tears in vain, I hope your loss in this vain
world is her eternal gain ; and may this thought
guard your faith and efforts in striving to meet
her in heaven, where parting is no and son
row is not known. A FRIEND.
Near Bairdstown, Oglethorpe county, Ga., Ju
ly 27th, 1860,Mrs. Anna Swanson, consort of John
Swanson, deceased, aged 73 years.
The subject of this notice was severely afflicted
with Paralysis for about eight years, which con
fined her to her room, and bed, most of the time,
yet, by the grace of God, she was enabled to bear
her afflictions with patience and fortitude. The
writer has often visited and conversed with her
relative to her affliction, and not a murmer escaped
her lips ; she seemed to recognize the hand of the
Lord in them, and was submissive. She had been
an orderly and consistent member of the Baptist
church at Baird’s for about forty years. She lived
the life of the righteous, and her last end was
peace. She has left five children, several grand
and great-grand children to mourn their loss, yet
they sorrow not as those without hope. Precious
in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints.
May the death of this mother be sanctified to the
good of children, relatives and friends, is our
prayer. J. R. Y.
COLUMBIAN COLLEGE; ‘
WASHINGTON', D. C. ‘
The Session opens Wednesday, Sept. 26th ; the
Preparatory two weeks earlier, Sept. 12th.
At the establishment of the Columbian College,
Mr. Monroe, then President of the U. S., said :
“Its position, on the high grounds north of the
city, is remarkably healthy. . . . The estab
lishment of the Institution within the Federal Dis
trict, in the presence of Congress and of all the
Departments of the Government, will secure to the
young men who may be educated in it many im
portant advantages ; among which the opportuni
ties which it will afford them of hearing the de
bates in Congress and in the Supreme Court on
important subjects, must be obvious to all.” To
these advantages there are now added those of
free access to the Libraries of Congress, to the
national collections in mineralogy, natural history,
&e., and to the Lectures of the Smithsonian Insti
tution.
There are three departments of Instruction. The
Preparatory Department receives pupils desirous
of pursuing the studies necessary to admission to
the College. Its teachers are under the immedi
ate supervision of the Faculty. The Coli.ee
Proper has two Schools. The regular Academi
cal Course occupies four years, and is the same
with that ot the best Colleges, entitling the grad
uate to the degree ol A. B. The Scientific Course
occupies three years, omits the Ancient Langua
ges, and affords additional instruction in Mathe
matical Science and in the Modern Languages.—
Graduates receive the degree of P. 8., or Bacher
lor in Philosophy. A course of one year for grad
uates in the A. B. course entitles those passing an
examination to the degree of A. M. The officers
ot instruction in the College are a President, five
Professors, and one or more Tutors.
The Medical Department, entitled “The Nation
al Medical College,” has nine Lecturers and other
instructors.
Tuition in the College or Preparatory Depart
ment is $5( per year; Boom rent, S2O per year ;
Board, $3 per week ; other charges from $lO to
S2O per year. Students lor the ministry, if indi
gent, receive tuition gratis. Young men of ma
ture age, and youth whose parents specially de
sire it, are allowed to board in families in the city
or country. All bills must be paid in advance,
one hall at the opening, the other half at the mid
dle of the Session.
The College Year is one continuous session,
consisting of two terms. It opens on the last
W ednesday in September, and closes the last Wed
nesday in June.
Applicants for admission, for Catalogues, or for
further information, will address

edge, so as to awaken in his scholar a spirit of in
quiry, cannot easily satisfy himself with abrupt
and isolated questions; in order to arouse the
mind to action and bring himself into sympathy
with it, he must communicate something. The
remark which imparts knowledge quickens thought
and then conversation proceeds with a rational and
easy flow.”—Extract from Preface.
The Publishers feel confident that every one
who will examine and use the volume, will heartily
endorse the following recommendation from the
Philadelphia Christian Chronicle :
“The pun of Dr. Hague, in these several books
to meet the wants of Sabbath School classes, we
have never seen surpassed, nor even equalled, by
anv other author.” t

A Great Book by the author of “ Grace
Truman
M AR Y B U NYA N,
The Dreamer’s Blind Daughter. A Tale of Re
ligious Persecution. By Mrs. Rochester Ford,
of Louisville, Ky. 1 vol. 12mo. 488 pp. Illustra
ted. Price sl.
The great populaiity of Grace Truman, (of which
30,000 copies have been sold,) w ill secure, for this
book, thousands of readers.
READ WHAT THE PRESS SAY OF IT.
[From the New York Examiner.]
The numerous readers of “Grace Truman” have
here another work on a topic of deep and thrilling
interest, from the author of that highly popular
book. Mary Buuyau, the blind daughter ol the
immortal dreamer, is referred to repeatedly in his
autobiography and other works. She was about
twelve years of age when Bunvan was imprisoned
in Bedford jail, and his anxiety on her behalf was
one of his principal causes of distress in his long
imprisonment.
As drawn by Mrs. Ford, her character seems to
have been one of great modesty and loveliness,
and the story of her love for William Dormer, and
of his death for the cause of civil and religious
lreedom, has much of the pathetic element in it.
Mrs. Ford is evidently thoroughly au fait in the
incidents of Bunyan’s family history, and the to
pography of Bedford and Elstow. We can safely
predict for the work an extensive sale.
[From the New York Evangelist.]
The simple incidents of Bunyan’s life, his pro
tracted imprisonment, his heroic endurance and
lofty faith, are of themselves full of the deepest
and most thrilling interest. It needed only the
picture of his blind daughter Mary, in her gentle
ness and patience under sore misfortune, to give
completeness to the tragic yet noble scenes in
which Bunyan figures, so modestly yet grandly
conspicuous. The author of the valumc before us
has carefully gathered up such historical tacts, and
they are fortunately numerous and well authenti
cated, as could throw light upon her subject, and
has employed them with great sagacity and effect
in the construction of her story.

Oxygenated Bitters.
The qualities of this medicine have placed it up
on an imperishable foundation. In destroying dis
ease, and inducing health, it has no parallel.
For the following Complaints these Bitters are a
Specific, viz: Dyspepsia, or Indigestion, Heart
Burn, Acidity, Costiveness, Lo.-s of Appetite,
Headache, and General Debility.
In many sections of our country this preparation
is extensively used by physicians in their practice,
and it seems to have restored mauy to health who
were apparently beyond the reach of the healing
art.

Messrs. Seth W. Fowlo & Cos ,
Gentlemen—Having derived benefit from the

Ayer’s Ague Cure,
which neutralizes this malarious poison in the
blood, and stimulates the liver to expel it from the
body. As it should, so it does cure this afflicting
disorder with perfect certainty. And it does more,
or rather does what is of more service to those sub
ject to this infection. If taken in season it expels
it from the system as it is absorbed, and thus keeps
those who use it free from its attacks; keeps the
system in health although exposed to the disease.
Consequently it not only cures, but protects from,
the great variety of affections which are induced
by this malignant influence, such as Remittent
Fever, Chill Fever, Dumb, or Masked Ague,
Periodical Headache, or Bilious Headache, Bilious
Fevers, Neuralgia, Rheumatism, Gout, Blindness,
Toothache, Earache, Catarrh, Asthma, Palpita
tions, Painful Affections of the Spleen, Hysterics,
Colic, Paralysis, and Painful Affections of the
Stomach and Bowels, all of which, when arising
from thi3 cause, will be found to assume more or
less the intermittent type. This “ Ague Cure ”
removes the cause of these derangements, and cures
the disease.
This it accomplishes by stimulating the excre
tories to expel the virus from the system; and
these organs by degrees become habited to do this
their office of their own accord. Hence arises what
we term acclimatation. Time may accomplish the
same end, but often life is not long enough, or is
sacrificed in the attempt, while this “ Ague Cure ”
does it at once, and with safety. We have great
reason to believe this is a surer as well as safer
remedy for the whole class of diseases which are
caused by the miasmatic infection, than any other
which has been discovered; and it has still another
important advantage to the public, which is, that
it is cheap as well as good.
