KriiUy Morning, February *, IKSO.
I.AKUBNT CITY CIRCULATION.
Washburn’s Cirous.
Wo are informed that the Circus will remain
ami perform hero this afternoon anil to-night.
This Company have given much satisfaction to
our citizens, anil their performances bespeak
the highest proficiency in their exercises.
Persons who desire to witness a really excel
lent exhibition, and the most creditable teats
of skill and activity, would do well to improve
the present opportunity.
We had a heavy fall of rain on Wednesday
night, and our river commenced rising slowly
yesterday. The steamer Tampa arrived about
noon yesterday, with an assorted cargo, chiefly
Northern freight. We understand that she
found difficulty in getting up, being frequently
aground on sand-bars.
The Montgomery Mail expresses its surprise
on seeing the amount of groceries at the Hail
road depot ready for shipment up the country.
It states that twenty-five cars, laden with
western produce, left for (Icorgia on Monday ;
and it intimates that the locomotives on the
road are not sufficient for its present freight
business.
Mail Robbers Sentenced
W. If. Lewis has been sentenced to two
years’imprisonment for robbing the U. S. muil
at. Cahnwba, Ala. Daniel 11. Smith lias been
sentenced to ten years’ imprisonment for a like
offence in Monroe county, Ala.
Cotton Burnt.
Two platform cars attached to a freight
train, on the b. C. Railroad, eachcontaihing 50
bales of Cotton, were destroyed by fire with
thecxception of six bales, on .Saturday morn
ing about 2 o’clock, when eight miles on this
side of Bnuichville.
The price of passage on the steamships be
tween Savannah and New Vork has been rais
ed to $25, the oldcharge. Wo doubt whether
theVhangc will increase the profits of the com
p any.
Temperature at]Zoro in Georgia!
Tlio “cold snap” of the early part of this
week was very severe in the upper portions of
Georgia and Alabama. Those sections expe
rienced a severity of cold never known before,
ami were made to realize the extremity of a
usual New York or Massachusetts winter.—
The Romo Courier of Tuesday last says :
“On last Sunday night snow foil at this
place to the depth of four inches; yesterday
morning was the coldest ever known here.—
The Mercury stood at zero in Fureuheit’s
Thermometer. Since Christmas it has been
very uniformly cold and for the greater part
of the timo intensely so. This winter, for
protracted coldness and large amounts of snow
and ice, liasnot had its peer within “the mem
ory of the oldest inhabitant.”
We learn from the Florence (Ala.) Gazette,
that during the greater part of last woek the
Tennessee rivor was so full of running ice at
that place that the ferry-boat could not run
an occurrence never known before. Every
ice-house in town had boon tilled with ice two,
three and four inches thick, obtained from the
neighborhood.
(Southern Commercial Oonvontion.
This body is in session at Richmond, Va.,
only a few States being represented, and a
sumll number of delegates attending. The
°uly.business of general interest we have yet
seen reported in its deliberations, is the adop
tion of a resolution declnring the importance
of having a line of steamers direct between
Liverpool or some other European port and
one of our Southern cities.
The thin attendance at this Convention is
another shameful proof of tho apathy of the
South in reference to matters deeply affecting
her best interests. Would that half the zeal
and interest manifested in tho corrupt squab
blcß of national parties could bo enlisted in
behalf of the industrial and commercial inter
ests of this section of tho Uniou —now embar
rassed and preyed upon by speculators through
the better organized capital and energy of tho
North !
The Difference.
As soon as Mr. Toombs had concluded his
speech in Boston, some abolitionist in the
crowd called out—“ llow long before Charles
Hurnner will thus bo permitted to speak South?”
—and we observe that tho abolition papers are
re-echoing the taunt and enlarging upon it.
We answor, whenever the people of Georgia
make war upon the social system or domestic
institutions of Massachusetts, they will hear
Mr. Sumner or any one else whom Massachu
setts may Bend here to defend them. Rut we
thiuk that Mr. Sumner would have too much
regard for the dignity of his State to consent
to come here and defend her against abuse and
assault before a people who have no right un
der Heaven to meddlo with her domestic poli
cy ; and wc regret that Mr. Toombs did not
take a similar view of tho dignity and pride of
Georgia, before going to lloston to defend her
institutions against the attacks of those who
have no right to question their propriety.
How Banks was Elected.
When 108 votes were given in favor of the
resolution declaring Mr. Aiken Speaker, the
National men began to hnvo hopes that they
could elect lvim, or some other sound man,
under the plurality rule. That rule was
adopted the next day, but the result showed
that the entire auti-freesoil strength could not
be concentrated. Roth Mr. Orr and Mr. Ful
ler withdrew their names before the final vote
was taken—tho latter declaring that he would
not accept the office unless tendered to him by
a majority of the House. Banks received 108
votes, 4 freesoilers voting for Campbell. Aiken
had 100 votes, receiving, we believe, the sup
port of all the Southern members without dis
tinction of party; but 6 National Know-Noth
ingsfrom Northern States still voted for Fuller.
Fuller himself did not vote. When we obtain
a classification of the vote, showing the pol
itics of each member and the State he repre
sents, we will copy it in full.
Barnum Seriously Involved!
The man of humbugs—but of great energy
and usefulness withal —made an unfortunate
business alliance with the Jerome Clock Com
pany of Connecticut, a few years since. The
Company have, since the partnership, had the
free use of notes and acceptances in blank,
signed by Barnum, and have used them so
freely that lie now finds paper out to the
amount of $450,000 with his name on it.—
The Company, it is said, could not have paid
fifty cents on the dollar at any time within the
last three years, and is hopelessly insolvent.
The New York Tribune thinks it would take
$1,000,000 in such property as Barnum owns
to raise the amount for which he is involved
by a forced sale. It states that he has provi
ded for the payment of his own private liabili
ties, and will contest at law the claims against
him on account of the Clock Company.
- -
A letter lias been addressed to Congress ou
behalf of tlie French inhabitants of Han Juan
de Nicaragua, making an humble, but most
earnest appeal, for compensation for the losses
sustained by them in consequence of the bom
bardment of tliut unfortunate city, destroyed
in 1854 by a United States vessel of war. It
is believed that their statement of losses is
greatly exaggerated ; it is extremely doubtful
whether Congress cun be brought to entertain
the question of remuneration.
.
Duel.
We learn from several dispatches received
here, that two gentlemen, Messrs. Bell and
Quarles, who left Caliabu sonic ten days ago to
settle a personal matter, had a meeting near
New < Means on Saturday. They fought with
Colt’s revolvers, and both were hit; one in the
hip and the other in the shoulder. Neither
was considered dangerously hurt. They ex
changed five shots.— Ala. Journal.
Messrs. Hell and Quarles are the two gentle
men of Cahuba who had a difficulty last fall,
resulting in the shooting of Quarles by Bell.
Wo lately gave an account of Bell’s arrest and
examination, when he was bound over to an
swer the charge of an assault with intent to
kill.
The Slave Case at Cincinnati.
Wc published a telegraphic account of the
escape of a number of slaves from Kentucky,
and the arrest of u portion of them in Cin
cinnati, a few days “since. We have since re
ceived fuller accounts by the Cincinnati papers.
The slaves crossed the river on the ice, and
were concealed at the house of a free negro
named Kite. A party of Kentuckians following
the next day, were fired at when they attemp
ted to enter the house, but finally, with tlic
assistance of the United States Deputy Mar
shal, effected an entrance, when they found
two men, two women and three children—the
others having escaped. One of the children
was lying on the floor with its head nearly sev
ered from its body, and the other two were
badly cut about the neck and shoulders ! It
was stated that the mother of the children
killed the one and attempted the lives of the
others ; but the evidence was not positive, and
the free woman of the house was arrested on
suspicion of having committed the violence, or
being accessory to it. The slaves were scoured
by tho United Htates Marshal, but subsequent-
ly they were taken from Ins possession, appa
rently by process of law, but really in a forci
ble manner, by the Sheriff of the county and
his posse. The next day tho Marshal regained
possession of his prisoners, but the Sheriff was
represented to be drumming up assistance to
retake them, and a conflict betwoen the Fed
eral and State authorities was progressing;
but we presume that if violence had been re
sorted to, the telegraph would have informed
us of it before this time.
The Cincinnati Sun thus concludes its notice
of this case:
“The negroes are all comfortably clad, but
are not particularly inteligent. After Mary
Kite was looked up, site gave intimations, it is
said, that the mother of tlie children committed
tho murder, The mother only says it occured
“somehow during the scramble” when the
crowd rushed in. The other children that
were out nre not dangerously hurt. Ten other
slaves crossed the river ou Sunday night. Os
those, nine were in one crowd. Three of them
were the slaves of Gedges & Cos., and six of
Mr. Dougherty. They went through safely in
the underground. It is reported that six of
them were men, two quite young, and the oth
ers middle aged, and that all were armed with
guns and butcher knives. Archibald K.
Gaines, tlie owner of tlie slaves who were
captured, is a wealthy farmer, and is the
brother of the present Governor of Ore
gon. llis neighbors all speak highly of him
as an indulgent master, a fact which the com
fortable apparel and well fed appearances of
the negroes confirm.”
Predictions of Emperor Nicholas in 1840.
Tho Indianapolis Journal gives the follow
ing extract from a loctuve given by Hon. 11.
W. Ellsworth, formerly of this city, late Min
ister to Sweden, being the language the
Emperor Russia used in an interview with the
lecturer:
“ Sir,” said the Emperor Nicholas, in a
memorable diplomatic interview between him
and your speaker, during those recent revolu
tions that struck down Hungary, remodelled
France, and broke the bond of union between
Denmark and her revolted Dutchie, causing
nearly every monarch to tremble for his
throne, “ Sir, 1 view calmly all this agitation,
Russia is untouched, and will not mingle with
it. Her hour hits not yet come, though her
destiny cannot be long delayed! She will
soon be in a protracted contest in which Eng
land uml France will be her opponents ; these
nations, so long and so naturally hostile to
each other, will lie arrayed in unison against
her!”
“ And what, your Majesty, will be the re
sult of this contest?”
“ Favorable, beyond doubt, to Russia. I
shall rise superior to all reverses, and protract
the contest till I weary out my enemies. But
there is another war looming in the distance
—a struggle between constitutional and unre
stricted monarchy, in which nearly nil Europe
will stand opposed to Russia, while Turkey,
her natural enemy, with Persia ami Asia, will
be fighting at her side.”
“ And how is to result this second conflict?”
“ Mill favorable to Russia, though it will be
bloody and protracted. But a third and still
mightier contest is approaching, in which the
world will be involved—a struggle between
what is called tyranny, in any form, ami free
dom. Into this struggle your nation will be
forced from its present policy, and compelled
to take a leading part! It will be a struggle
suoh ns history never recorded.”

GEORGIA LEGISLATURE.
Monday, Fob. 4.
Tins Hocsk or Hkpukskntatives. —The bill
which was lost ou Saturday, relative to the
Brunswick arid Florida and Savannah, Albany
and Gulf Railroad was, .after an interesting
and lengffiy discussion reconsidered by a vote
of 57 to 52.
As to the final result of this measure any
prediction would now be unreliable.
A bill creating anew Circuit to be called
the Brunswick Circuit, of counties lying in the
Southern portion of the State, which had
passed the Senate, was taken up and after
some amendments in reference to the time of
holding the Courts was passed by a vote of <54
to 34.
Reliable information having been received of
the death of the lion. A. J. Miller, Senator
from Richmond, at his residence in Augusta,
both branches of the General Assembly ap
pointed committees to attend his funeral,
which take.- place on to-morrow, and then ad
journed.
A feeling of sadness seems to prevail in both
branches. 11 is loss is not only a severe blow
to the body of which lie was a most valuable
member, but also to the State in whose service
ns a legislator lie has spent many years of the
prime of bis existence. Possessing intellect
clear and comprehensive, lie never seemed at
fault on any question. Green be his memory
in the hearts of a people to whom he devoted
the energies of a gifted and cultivated mind.
Senate. —Another new county bill, of which
you may remember, there have been quite a
number proposed—was finally rejected in the
Senate to-day. It was to have been formed
from Lumpkin and Gilmer counties. It ap
peared in the discussion that neither of tlie
counties after deducting the poor school fund,
which they receive from the taxes they pay
into the Treasury, pay half enough to compen
sate their present members of the Legislature
—so that to add another Senator and another
member would be making too large a draft upon
the Treasury—so the project failed.
Mr. Spalding’s bill for the sale of the W. &
A. Railroad, and the creation of an internal
improvement fund, was upon his own motion
indefinitely postponed to-day, by a vote of 43
to 34. Tlie Honorable Senator who introduced
it, stated that lie thought lie had seen enough
to convince him that the Legislatur e were not
disposed to sell the “State Road,” and lie,
therefore, did not wish to press the matter
longer before tlieir consideration, to prolong
their session.
The bill to incorporate a Bank in Macon, to
be called The Bank of Middle Georgia was
thoroughly discussed to-day, and passed.
The village of Greensboro’ in Green county,
was incorporated into a city this afternoon—
ami a Bank was also granted to her, the char
ter containing some of the same restrictions to
which such frequent allusion has been made
in the correspondence of your paper.
The town of Bainbridgo, in Decatur county,
had a Bank charter granted her by the Senate
this afternoon, to be called “The Southern
Bank of Georgia.” They say that these in
stitutions are to be of a bona Jide character
with no “wildcat” tendencies. If so they
may do.
The melancholy intelligence of tlie death of
the Honorable Andrew J. Miller, late a Sena
tor from the county of Richmond, was commu
nicated by Mr. Pope, of Wilkes—in the simple
announcement of the event, and a motion that
a committed be appointed to draft suitable
matter touching this sad calamity : whereup
on the President appointed Messrs. Pope, Cone,
of Greene, Wingfield, Dunnagan and Wales.
Judge Cone then offered the following reso
lution :
That a Committee of three Senators be ap
pointed to join a similar number of Members
of tlic House of Representatives, to proceed to
Augusta, in their official capacity, to attend
the funeral of the lion. Andrew J. Miller, late
a Senator from the county of Richmond.
This resolution having been unanimously
agreed President appointed tho Hon.
L. of Lowndes, Hon. William il.
Mcnftosh, of Elbert, and the Hon. LeGrand
Gtierry, of Randolph, astlieSenate committee.
On motion of Mr. Knight, the Senate then
adjourned.
National Men,
Theodore Parker, in his lecture on Tuesday
night, complained that the North has had but
four Presidents, and the South eight, out of
twelve elected by the people. When the North
can furnish better men than Washington, Jef
ferson, Madison, Jackson, and the merits of
such men are overlooked for less capable per
sons from the South, then there will be reason
to complain of sectional differences and pref
erences. Tlie patriots named above were cho
sen because they represented the spirit of the
nation, and had souls large enough to regard
the good of the whole country. When such
men rise, North or South, the people do honor
to themselves in placing authority in tlieir
hands, for it will never be abused to advance
one section above another, or to dimish that
respect for the Constitution, without which a
faithful and impartial enforcement of the laws
is impossible. When the people begin to select
their Presidential candidates because they be
long to this or that end of United States, or
represent this or that sentional interest, it will
be necessary for them to commence calculating
the value of tlic Union, for it will not be likely
to stand long on a foundation only half the
size of the superstruction.— l'hila. Ledger.
Acquittal cf Mr. Parsons,
The trial of James Parsons, jr., a citizen of
Virginia, at Ilollidaysburg, Pennsylvania,
charged with (lie several offences of kidnap
ping, assault and battery, and breach of the
peace, was brought to a close on Thursday
evening last by the triumphant discharge of
the accused, in which result the Judge, the
bar, and a large crowd of attentive spectators
testified tlieir concurrence in the most marked
manner. Messrs. Faulkner and Tucker, of
Virginia, appeared on behalf of Mr. Parsons.
It will be recollected that Mr. Parsons, a short
time since, attempted to arrest an escaped
slave in Pennsylvania, belonging to liis father,
but iu the crowd and excitement on the occa
sion the slave was either rescued by sympathi
sers or himself escaped. Mr. Parsons was
not able immediately to show his authority lor
arresting the slave, and hence his being d
for trial for kidnapping. The other chaises
were the result of the attending circumstances.

Singular Effect of Ico.
lhe Hartford Times says, the thick coating
ol ico upon the cherry, pear and peach trees
has served to protect them from the frost, and
at the same time has acted in the capacity of a
burning glass, by concentrating and intensify
ing the rays from tho sun, until the unseason
able warmth thus imparted, has had tho effect
of starting tlie flow of sap. and developing the
buds.
Senator Seward on the Central American
Question.
Tlie National Intelligencer of Friday, says;
In the Senate Mr. Seward delivered bis views
at considerable length, in a speech whichcom
mandedmarked attention, on Central American
affairs. Ho commenced by alluding to the his
tory of Great Britain’s “encroachments” in the
Isthmus between tlie two American Continents,
and gave a sketch of the negotiation whichre
sulted in the Clayton-Bulwer Treaty. The
points of difference between the Governments
of Great Britain and the United States, in the
interpretation, were then stated and reviewed.
In regard to the Mosquito coast, Mr. Seward
maintained that Great Britain was bound by
the terms of the treaty to “withdraw” from
lier protectorate over that region, and her
claims to the exercise of any protectorate at
all were argued to he wholly without any foun
dation, apart from their renunciation by the
treaty of 1850. On this point (lie Senator
dwelt at great length. Tlie extension by Great
Britain of her possessions on the Belize to lim
its south of the Sibnn river, and her colonial
occupation of tlie Bay Islands, were pronoun
ced to be infraction.-’ of the Clayton-Bulwer
treaty. In fine, Mr. Seward declared that all
tlie positions assumed by the Government of
the United States were right, and ought to be
maintained, if needs We, by war.
The widespread and disastrous character of
a war between two sueli Powers as the United
States and Great Britain was portrayed in
j graphic colors, it being the opinion of the spea
’ kcr that neither country would enter the con
test siliglc handed. The proposition to submit
the questions between the two Governments to
the arbitration of a friendly power was pro
nounced unwise, as furnishing evidence of in
decision inconsistent with the prompt assertion
of American rights. Mr. Seward therefore
proposed to devolve upon England the respon
sibility of the war, if, unfortunately, any
should arise in consequence of the present
difficulty. The variety and extent of our re
sources for such a contest were recapitulated
by tlie speaker, and the necessity of a railroad
to the Pacific coast as a means of defence for
the protection of our possessions beyond the
ltocky Mountains was briefly enforced.
Mr. Seward avowed his conviction that such
a war would necessarily result in the loss by
Great Britain of all her colonies on this conti
nent, and expressed the hope that, by pursu
ing a conciliatory policy towards Canada, and
by tendering to that country the privilege of
entering this Confederacy, we should have lier
aid and sympathy in the struggle that might
ensue, which he very justly remarked would be
“no common war.”
TlittColumbia Carolinian oftliestli inst.,
says:
“The road that makes both ends meet at
starting will be certain to do well. Tlie
Greensboro Patriot says that on” Tuesday last,
about 3 o’clock, P. M., the last bar of iron
was laid on the North Carolina Rail Road. The
meeting of the two ends took place some 4>j
miles west of Greensboro. The mail and pas
senger cars made their first trip through on
Wednesday. The schedule going West is for
15 hours 54 minntes from Goldsboro to Char
lotte, and 15 hours 48 minutes from Charlotte
to Goldsboro. The time from Raleigh to
Charlotte is thirteen hours.”
Prunes have been very successfully cultiva
ted in Pennsylvania. Among the Economists,
in Beaver county, they have been grafted ou
plums. Mr. Pfeiffer, of Indiana, raised prune
trees in large numbers, and sold them at exorbi
tant prices, some as high as $5 and $lO. He
had some of the fruit at the Pennsylvania
State Agricultural Fair, held at Pittsburg,
which sold readily at 50 cents a quart.

Arrest.
A couple of the light-lingered gentry were
captured by the police in the crowd assembled
at the sales in front of tlie Court House, yes
terday, in the exerciser of their vocation.
One was taken in tlie “red hand,” with his
digits in the pocket of a bystander. Another,
who had been somewhat industrious, escaped.
The two arrested, whose names veal or ficti
tious we did not learn, were committed to the
Guard House for examination. —Montgomery

Rhodes’ Fever and Ague Cure;
Or Antidote to Malaria;
FOR THE PREVENTION AND CURE
Os Fever and Ague, or Chill Fever; Dumb Ague, and
other Intermittent and Remittent Fevers; also of
Bilious Fevers, accompanied by Typhoid Symp
tom* : Typhoid Fever, Yellow Fever, Ship
and Jail Fever, General Debility, Night

WHICH HAVE A COMMON ORIGIN IN
MALA-HIJi. OK
r | 1 11 E.S E diseases are common tp many localities of the
A United States; Jo it wherever they prevail, North
South, East or West, they all equally spring from the
same miasinal cause. The great variety of symptoms and
forms of disease is owing principally to difference in age.
sex, constitution and habits of tlie sufferers; hut as tin
cause is tlie same, they will all equally yield to a remedy
that is competent to overcome or remove that cause.
By the laws of Nature, every principle has its opposite,
and for every disease, or cause of disease, there is a re
agent, or in other words a specific remedy. All Malaria,
whether arising from Marshes, Stagnant water, decompo
sition of annual and vegetable matter, or even newly
cleared lands, is the same in character and effect; is a poi
son floating in the atmosphere, causing disease to all who
breathe it. In accordance with those unalterable laws
governing the unerring affinity suosisting between op
posites, there is in the preparation before us, offered to
tlie public,
The Natural Antidote to Malaria,
which neutralizes the poison w henever it comes in con
tact with it, even in tlie open air, and when taken inter
nally completely purifies the system affected by it of its
baneful influence, and thus restores and preserves
health.
The remedy is believed to be entirely new, and un
known to any but tlie proprietor, who distinctly claims
the following extraordinary results from its use:
it will instantly check the ague in persons who have
suffered for any length of time, from one day to twenty
years, and by continuing its use, according to the direr
lions, a radical cure will lie effected; the patient contin
uing free from the complaint for ever; unless subsequent
exposure to malaria should make its use again necessary.
In its operation upon tlie poison in tho system, it will
immediately relieve all the distressing symptoms of bil
ious or ague diseases, and when tlie disease is cured, il
will entirely prevent the accession of
General Debility and NigHt Sweats,
which so often follow the administration of other mede
cines. Tho patient at once begins to reever appetite
and strength, and continues to improve unt'il restored m
perfect health.
By its use Fever and Ague may he banished from
every family and class in the community; farmers, me
chanics, and all laboring people maybe “using this arti
cle as a
Preventive,
And pursue their respective avocations in perfect gafeti
from ague or bilious attacks during tlie sickly season,
which is often to them the most valuable part of the
year.
Since the introduction of the CURE in every part of
tlie United States, its success has been so complete ami
unvarying as to have fully proved these assertions in
favor of its extraordinary merit.
When these declarations were made, at the date of its
introduction, they seemed incredible to many, even of
tlie most candid minds, because all flic resources of
science had been taxed in vain to subdue ague or bilious
diseases; and what was still worse for ague sufferers.
[ all tlieir remedies or treatment, whether scientific or
empirical, have been limited to poisonous or destructive
drags, such as Arsenic, Quinine, Mercury, Salieine. Ac.
The effects of these are sometimes worse than the disease
they subdue, and when such remedies tail, or give only
temporary relief, tlieir poisonous effects .ire supomddcil
to the poor sufferer’s first complaint.
Oil tliis account ague sufferers should be particularly
careful about using any secret Fever and Ague remedies,
notwithstanding the makers of them uniformly assert
they may be taken with perfect safety, even when it is
notoriously well known that their potency depends
solely upon destructive poisons.
Now, as a proof that tlie Remedy is not only valuable
on account ot its power to cure diseases, hut that it is
also
Worthy of Public Confidence,
Because of its
Singular ami Entire Hannlotsness,
The billowing certificate from one of the most celebrated
chemists in tlie United States has been obtained, and n
copy of it is attached to every bottle :
Nbw York, June 11, 1855.
“I have made a chemical examination of Rhodes’ Fevoi
ami Ague Cure, or Antidote to Malaria, and have tested
it tor Arsenic, Mercury, Quinine and Stryphnino. Imt
have not tumid a particle ot either in it. nor have 1 found
any substance in its composition that would prove inju
rious to the constitution.
“JAMES It. CIIILTON, M. D„ Chemist. “
It is a stubborn fact, therefore, that this Remedy is
destined not only to relieve tlie human family from
malarious diseases, but to do an equally good work hi
preventing the taking of other medicines which doharni.
The entire absence of any baneful ingredient make
this Remedy not more valuable as a Cure, than it is as a
preventive.
No class of disease is so easily managed as tho one
under consideration, if the medicine be taken in advance
Thin is owing to tho diseases being produced by one un i
the iimo cause, and therefore all, botl) residents and
travelers, should protect themselves by the timely use
of this preventive, and not wait for tlie poison already
lurking in tlieir veins, to develop itself in a violent
attack. Take tho Cure as a preventive, and so destroy
the poison before it docs harm.
Full directions and advice as to diet and habits of lib’
prepared by a distinguished Fhysiciun long resident in
a Bilious climate now accompany each bottle.
It will often lie found necessary to precede this medi
cine li.v a mild cathartic or autihilious purgative. Tin
very best tiling for general use is a moderate dose ol
Castor Oil, the object of which is to cleanse tho stomach
and free the biliary passages. Remember that where
l hi- is necessary, or there is costivem-ss, it must be taken
or the operation of tho antidote will he seriously ob
structed.
Only Cos lit ion. —ln certain specified cases, pour
the contents ol one or more bottles of tlie Cure into
shallow vessels, (dining plates,) anil place them in
sleeping rooms; for the vapor rising from the medicine,
and also the air wafted across, or circulated over the
dregs of it. after the liipiid is evaporated, will counteract
ami destroy, to a degioe commensurate with its expo
sure, tlie miasmata or poison contained in the apartment.
This mode of exhibiting the Cure should likewise Ik
resorted to when very young infants are exposed to
malarious situations.
The bottles in winch this medicine is put up have tin
words, “hireties’ Fever and Acve Core’’ blown in the
glass, and on the outside wrapper is tho name of the
medicine, (the copyright of which is secured) and the
signature of tlie proprietor. These precautions nrc
taken to prevent counterfeits and imitations.
The reliance for its success is entirely t;i*on n
actual merits, wherever introduced and used. These
will bo considered sufficient.
