Hiss limirius. From Temple Bar Magazine. It v s iii the general sitting-room of JJen -- Hotel ut Ontru that 1 first met Miss Utimlii.'. Wi* were about to return to Eug lainl, after n lengthened residence in tin* ~.n\ South, mid had adjourned to Cintra 1• t • a last farewell of scenes endeared to n liv many pleasant associations, us well its i to. irowii intrinsic heiuity. Miss Dun das was on iter way from Madeira, where she had le * n with an invalid brother. They had deluyed their home-ward journey for a week, in order to visit the “glorious Eden,” that, lament, i verily believe, its counterpart in tie world; thus it happened that wo met. di- 1 lamias was neither young nor pretty; she could never have been pretty, twin iu the first lhish and glow of youth. At the time to which I am refering, she m.; lit have been five-and-thirty. Ido not ta.i . much of five-and-thirty now, but then it appeared to me quite old. She had a Midi light figure very slight; with a <*■ i> p.-ro ptiblc elevation of one shoulder; pal. . thin fare, with a large forehead and p. luted chin. Her eyes were dark and soft ' ■ > t eves that redeemed the face from b. ing positively plain. Mi- Duiidas made no attempt to appear v< .e "i than she was in reality, dressing so -1 >ii quiet colors, and wearing a tasteful 1 In- head-dress not quite a cap over her th:;i, and ik hair. \ cry lady-like and refined -1" • M'tg 1 thought her when we entered the io room, and saw her leaning buck in the di ■ [i i mbrasiire of the window, her small white hands folded in her lap. Her broth er was totally unlike her, excopt th:.t he, too, was small and slight. Ido ... mean to say that Mr. Dnudas was not a ■ man, but a more selfish, cross-grained, ill . nditioned morsel of humanity it has * r been my lot to encounter. Miss l)un b 'd me afterwards in the course of con v» '■ tion that “ ('liristopher ” had always bet n o delicate, t hat their mother had often ml lie scarcely expected he would have livi I to be a man; I could not help thinking that if Christopher never had lived to he a man. oi iety might have recovered the loss. We u. iv thrown a good deal together; Air. D iiula was unable to take much exercise, and Mi--. I) an das was glad to join us in our < vein ions about the neighborhood. On the Friday evening, the gentlemen of our party joined us, among them one who well, never mind; it is not my story 1 am going to toll. With the others nunc Domi nie Moore, the younger son of Mr. Moore, the head of the old-established house of M■ * it .V Staunton, merchants at Lisbon. W e w i re always glad to see Dominie Moore. W. knew no harm of him. if but little good, mid he was easy-tempered and amusing. He w Ion" legged, active, vivacious, rattle pi, 1 individual, of about six or seveu-and lwm.ty y* :rs of age, good-looking enough, v lie ry. twinkling eyes, and an abundant crop of ruddy hair. ». the Saturday morning he roused us up • with the information that there were e : donkey's waitiug for us; our destina t!i■ t kn-k Convent; thence to (.allures, 1 ene by the Varju. Miss Dnudas rode • • i oeietly with one of the elder ladies; i.iom :ie Moore, his long legs almost touch the .ground, dressed in a white linen with red sash and Pan nun hat, brand i- i:e; a long pole in his hand, made himself os; •! neas as usual. Sometimes galloping e . fast as his little quadruped could be i to ; then wheeling suddenly round, ! m upon us for Clod’s sake not to break ■ : i ks, or if we did, not to let him see us; .toping >: his donkey to give a kiss to a lit ] . isant girl trudging to Cintra in the t o ot finding a market for her fine knitting o pu i embroidery ; or standing up in his tii; ups to reach an overhanging pomegran i < i 1, mpting branch of nuts; it was a nierey that unfortunate animal he bestrode ever reached home alive. 1 am not going to trouble the reader with a • • -. iiption of the cave of St. Uonorius, or tin t oik Convent, or even of the maguiticient - li iy between that very uncomfortable pi.a -and the Colures, us my business at pn ent is not with the monks of old, nor with the beauties of nature, but with Miss Dmulas. In the afternoon, after our return, we dis pel and about the shady rooms and garden as o. i liiiation prompted. How well I remem l r that day; sitting on a rustic l*ench with ■ iiy companion, every detail seemed plioto gmpl.eii mmy mind. The sky of intensest b!a ; the castle and convent-crowned moun t li peaks, in the blaze of the sunshine seen :,b. \ the thiok-fuliaged lemon tree and the 1 xcmit a r-arolling vines; the glow and iitt* and georgeousness of coloring; the at of the heliotrope: the sound of Joach i a s voice on the other side of the wall.dron u intmmin.ible modinlin about Marilha • 1 - I ' i" shepherd; the screech of the parrot • its pel-ell at tln> foot of the garden steps; .a ueam thud of the over-ripe lemons as u w .ml then one fell from the trees; how v - . it all is to me even now! At/ de me.’ In t‘, side alleys 1 noticed Miss Dnudas '' ■ !■- up and down, and smiled as I saw : , i, D<.mime Moore was her companion; *. ■ i dso incongruous. She, however, \t ; J* niiig with interest and amusement, win,, Iu- was talking eagerly as usual. That « v* mg In- lett for Lisbon, and the following w, . \>e sai.ed. My heart was aching with .- pat t ing, and the gentle companionship ‘ • V; .tss D ndas suited me better than gnver society would have done; we were less* ill than most of the passengers, and were on deck every day. By the time we reached England, we found we liked each other so \v it s t*> promise an interchange of visits; but it was not till some months after, when a heavy sorrow fell upon me, that our ac quaintanceship ripened into familiar friend ship. It was then I discovered how much sterling goodness lay beneath the quiet exte - rior of Miss Dundas. She lmda considerable fortune—something over twenty thousand pounds. The pretty house at 'Hamstead, with its well-stocked garden,and the neat brougham, were kept up chiefly by herself. Mr. Dundas, in his stupid, blundering way, had speculated with his money till lie had left himself but a small residue. Fortunately, his sister’s had not been touched; uud live thousand pounds left her by an uncle, had been securely settled upon her, to prevent Christopher from making ducks and drakes of it, as he said. One day Miss Dundas was spending an hour with me. The remembrance of that af ternoon at Cintra had been recalled by the scent of a spray of heliotrope among some flowers she had brought me; we were speak ing of that bright little episode in our lives, when the drawing-room door opened, and who should be announced but Dominic Moore! Whether it was the sight of my black dress and pule, worn sac different from what it us lto be—l do not know, but he was much subdued in manner, and made himself remarkably pleasant; Miss Dundas seemed to think so, as she willingly accepted his es cort home. From that time we saw him con stantly. He had come to settle in England, he told us, as the agent of his father’s house; he ai>penml to be well to do, and to have plenty of time on his hands, much of which he bestowed on us, and still more on Miss Dundas. Some mouths passed on, and winter was approaching, when Alias Dnndas came to me one morning in a state of nervous excitement most unusual with her. After considerable hesitation, she begged me to tell her frankly if 1 had any attachment to Mr. Moore if I had any reason to think his attentions to her hod meant more than friendship. I smiled at her needless question. She knew as well us I did that there was a grave in the Protestant oetnetary over the sea, that would have come between me and Dominie Moore had his fascinations been as great as Miss Dnudas seemed to imagine they might be. J 6 She read the expression of mv face, and rising from her seat came up to me and kissed me, bagging my pardon with tears in her eyes. Then it all came out. Dominic Moore had asked her to marry him, and her only hesi tation arose from an idea she had taken up that he was attached to me. 1 must confess I received the news with no small degree of consternation. Was it possi ble that reckless, giddy-headed Dominic had really fallen in love with this quiet little woman, nearly ten years his senior? And yet she was so good; I ,oved her so much mvsclf that I could only trust that Mr. Moore had more solid sense and judgment than I had given him credit for. On the other hand, I had no right to think that Dominic Moore, flighty as he was, would not make a good husband; he belonged to a well-known and much respected family, and of himself I knew no harm; and yet, setting aside the differ ence oi age, I did not like it, and felt that my congratulations were constrained. “ I am afraid you think I am acting fool ishly,” Miss J Lindas said; “ but I have thought over it very seriously, and if he loves mi-as he says he does, I believe T can make him happy. He knows the worst of m -,” she continued, with a smile and a blush that made her almost pretty: “my marriage will not interfere with Christopher’s comfort; we shall all be together in the house where we are now living; Christopher has always had his own sitting-room, you know, so he will not be disturbed—and—l have been so lonely.” I was hard-hearted enough not iu the least to care whether Christopher was disturbed or not; but I did care about Miss Dund>»s. However, I could see she had made up her mind, so what could I do but put my arms round her and kiss her, and hope, iu spite of misgivings, that she might add to her happi ness by the step she was about to take? I have no doubt she did feel lonely; and as little- doubt that Dominic’s imperturbable good humor and constant flow of spirits had been the great attraction, from force of con trast to her brother. 1 tried to talk seriously to Dominic Moore about his engagement, but he either slipped through my lingers like running water, or saucily told me it was my fault for not taking him myself. AVliat his real thoughts anil feelings on the subject were I could not make out. The wedding-day was fixed for the fii-st Wednesday in December. It was to be a quiet affair; Mr. and Miss Dundas stood very much alone in the world, and had no near relatives ; 1 was to lie the only bride-maid. The newly-married couple were to spend a fortnight at Brighton, and be home by Cliristmas. Miss Dundas hinted that it would be a kindness if I would stay and keep house for Christopher while she was away, but I begged to decline the honor. The wedding-day was clear, bright, and frosty. I arrived at Hampstead early, and found Miss Dundas pale and nervous ; when the carriage drew up to take us to church, 1 noticed that her hands trembled so much she could scarcely draw on her gloves. Domi nie's manner was not reassuring; when lie met us at the church-door, he appeared troubled, embarrassed, gloomy; so unlike his usual self, that it struck a eliill to my heart, and I could not divest myself of the idea that he was repenting, and would have been glad to get out of it if he had known how. Miss Dundas had her veil down, and I believe was too much agitated to notice her bridegroom’s manner, or I think even at that last moment she would have drawn back. It was an uncomfortable wedding, or else my own fancies and forebodings mode it appear so to me. However, the irrevocable words were spoke; the book was signed, and Miss Dundas was Mrs. Dominie Moore. I observed a peculiar expression pass over Mr. Moore’s countenance as he examined the copy of the marriage certificate, that he had asked for—somewhat strangely I thought . It was like it gleam of exultation, and yet tin next moment the former moodiness of de meanor returned. There were a few friends to breakfast— only a few. At one o’clock Mrs. Moore re tired to her room to change her light gray silk for one darker and warmer, and more suitable for traveling. Dominic Moore had rattled away during breakfast with more than his usual volubility, but evidently with an effort, and he had taken more wine than was good for him ; I noticed the anxious glances his wife east upon him every now and then, but she made no remark, even when we were alone. The brougham had been ordered to be in readiness at two o’clock to convey Air. and Mrs. Moore to the railway station. I heard it draw up to the door as two o’clock struck, but no summons came for Mrs. Moore. An other half-hour passed, and they were likely to l>e too late for the train. Leaving Mrs. Moore sitting by the bedroom tire, 1 went down to ascertain the cause of the delay, and, to my surprise, found that Air. Aloore had gone out as soon as the company had left the breakfast-table, saying that he had to return t> his lodgings for Ins portmanteau. 1 was annoyed ; lie could so easily either have brought it with him, or have called for it on the way to the station. But Dominic was queer, and 1 wondered how that methodical little woman up stairs would put up with his harumscarmu ways. Three o’clock came, and there was now no chance of catching the train they had intend ed to start by. Four o’clock, and still Domi nic Aloore did not return. Airs. Moore be came uneasy, and I was frightened at I knew not what; but not that any accident had happened to Air. Aloore, as my poor friend seemed to imagine. I had been up and down stairs, too rest less to remain still. Airs. Moore went down to take leave of her guests, who took the hint and departed. She then returned to her own room, laying aside her bonnet and mantle. She had become seriously alarmed. and even Air. Dundas saw that something must be amiss. He was snapping and snarl ing and abusing the servants, abusing Dom inie Aloore—that I could bear—and abusing his sister—that I could not bear. I despatch ed the man-servant to Air. Aloore’s lodgings to make inquiries, and then sat down on the stairs and had a good cry. We had been sitting by the firelight, but when I heard the servant return, 1 lighted the lamp, with some idea, 1 believe, that I could read in his face if he had brought news of any disaster. He come to the room door with as stolid a countenance as if he had been sent on the commonest message. Air. i Aloore had returned home about half past J one, had discharged his bill at Ins lodgings, saying that he was going abroad, and had, I immediately after, lett in a cab, taking his | luggage with him. The landlady thought she heard him tell the driver to take hitY to the Loudon Bridge Terminus, but was not sure. I shut the door niton the man and returned to the fireside, feeling like a guilty creature from the thought that was at my heart. Airs. Aloore was very white and still,* her lips were compressed, and the clasp of her hands was so tight it must have given her pain. The same conviction had forced itself upon her. He had left her, forsaken her, on this their wedding day Though, even thou, we neither of us knew the full extent of his villainy. I sat down by the tire again, shivering, not so much with the cold of that winter evening :is with the sickening chill at my heart. I did not dare to speak to Airs. Moore. I saw sh*‘ was fighting hard with her grief and hu miliation, for she had loved and trusted this man—this wretch! And most of life’s fiercest baftles must l>e struggled through alone, sin gle-handed. By and by the housemaid came tip stairs, bringing tea. She drew down the blind to shut out the frosty night, and turned up the lamp, then urged her mistress to take some refreshment. Airs. Aloore only shook her head, but tears began dropping heavily and slowly upon her clasped hands; and then I drew near, and ventured to speak, laying my htuul on hers. “ I ought to have known at my age that lie could have not been sincere in his protesta tions,” she said, at last. “ I was weak, and that tempted him to do wrong.” “ But why did he go through the ceremony j of marriage?” she exclaimed, after awhile. “ Could he not have been sure that I would have set him free at any moment?” Alas! the answer to that ‘ why ’ was yet to come. Mrs. Moore was ill for some weeks, and I remained with her, thankful to be able to give comfort. When the new year came iu, she was still too unwell to leave the house. I am con vinced that the mortification of the position in which sue was placed was telling upon her, as well as the regret she felt. Miss Dundas, gentle and little given to self-assertion as she was, had a large share of sensitive pride; the blow she had received struck home. She had in due course reeeivvd the interest of the five thousand pounds invested for her benefit by her trustees, but the remainder of her property was in the funds. Giving me the necessary authority, she asked me to go to the Bank of England for her, to receive the dividend. I was then to pay it into her ac count at her private banker’s. I had never been before on such an errand, and was at first rather confused. When I ascertained where I was to make my applica tion. I pr< o-nt-1 my authority, and was met by the astounding intelligence that there was no dividend to receive; the stock was sold. At first I thought I must suddenly have lost uiv senses, and had not comprehended the answer. “When! How!” I managed to gasp out. The clerk again referred to his books. I almost hated him for his cool, deliberate manner. “The stock was sold by the lady’s hus band, Dominie Moore,” he replied, reading the name from the entry and mentioning the day of the month —the wedding-day. I stood for a in ament petrified, while the clerk turned to attend to another applicant. How I reached Hamstead, how I told Mrs. Moore, 1 scarcely know, nor can I describe her suffering caused far more by the baseness of the man to whom she had given a right over her and hers, than by the loss of her property. Mr. Dundas nearly went into a fit with rage. If he had exerted himself to see that his sister’s fortune was properly settled upon her, the real intentions of the man would have been brought to light, and this calamity averted. He knew the unjust law as regards women’s property, and was almost as much to blame as Mr, Moore. So I told him to his face. We were not very warm friends, Mr. Dund as and I. The pretty house at Hamstead, the man servant at brougham, all had to be given up. Mrs. Moore took a cottage farther away from London. She had been fond of society in a quiet way, but now she shrank from com pany, and only visited with a few intimate friends. The first note I received from her after I had seen her settled in her new abode was signed “E. Dundas Moore.” After a while we fell into the habit of calling her “ Mrs. Dundas,” dropping the “ Moore,’’and I think she preferred it. Two years passed away, and not a word had been heard of Dominic Moore. During this time Air. Dundas died. His sister mourned his loss; I did not. She said that “ Christopher had a good heart; I could have answered that it was a pity that he did not sometimes show it; but the man was dead, and could trouble those about him no more; so I wisely held my peace. Two years had made little change iu Airs. Dundas; there were a few streaks of silver among the dark hair, uud her manner was perhaps even quieter than formerly; but she was sweet and gentle and lovable as ever. 1 don’t think she was unhappy; she worked and read, and tended her flowers, and visited her poor neighbors, and was willing to open her heart to all pleasant and good influences; and to the faithful and the meek in spirit, God’s beautiful world is full of consolation. It was in the month of May that I received a note from Mrs. Dundas, asking me to goto her, and to bring a suflieient supply from my wardrobe for a stay of some weeks. 1 had nothing to detain me at home, and obeyed her summons at once. When I arrived 1 found her much agitated. The first words she spoke were to ask me to accompany her to Paris. I suppose I opened my eyes very wide, for in explanation she placed a letter in my hand, and bade me read it. It was from Dominic Moore, begging for forgiveness, stating that lie had been struck with paralysis, and had lost the use of his lower limbs, and that he was in great poverty in a lodging in Paris. My cheeks burned critnton with shame, as I read the letter, though Dominie Moore was neither kith nor kin of mine. No punish ment could have reached him ; he had only taken wluit the law allowed him to take, that was quite true; but his own conscience must have told him he had acted like a villain, and I thought, decency should have kept him silent unless In- had been in a position to make reparation. “You surely will not go !” I exclaimed as I returned the precious epistle to Mrs. J Lindas. “Certainly 1 shall go,” she answered ; “I sent for you to ask you to go with me.” I could feel nothing but bitter contempt for the man. “After treating you as lie has done, after deserting you, robbing you, he might, at any rate, have kept silence about his poverty. 1 question if lie had not been ill and in want, whether you would ever have heard.” 1 said hotly. “Probably not.” she replied gently. “But he is ill and in want. Whatever lie may have done, T am his wife, and it is my place to be at. his side. ” Against this I could urge nothing; I could only assure my dear friend that 1 would go with her, and stay with her as long as she re quired me. We found Dominie Moore a complete wreck. He was in a miserable little lodging in that poor district called Yillette, hare of every comfort. He was wretchedly worn and ema ciated, and looked as if he had not even enough to eat. He had the grace to show some emotion, both of remorse and gratitude, on seeing his wife. She—-dear little woman —for all repr ahs it down by his pallet bed, and wept as I had never seen her weep be fore. By easy stages we brought Dominie home; and there Mrs. Dundas, burying the past iu oblivion, nursed him tenderly and uuwearied ly, depriving herself of many little luxuries that her slender income might sulKee for the requirements of an invalid. “ I have been an immitigatad scamp,” lie said to me one dav. I quite agreed with him. “ Aud she is all goodness,” lie added,speak ing of liis wife. In this I also agreed; so there was no dan ger of our opinions clashing. He told me that he hiul got into difficulties in England; iuid that, fancying he perceived that Aliss Dundas liked him, the temptation had been too strong for him. ** The motley did me no good,” he said. “I knew all the time what a vile trick it was I had played, aud could never settle to any thing. 1 got on gambling, and then it all went like snow. 1 had been going the pace wlu-n this confounded attack struck me down; so I thought it better to sing peecavi, and promise to be a good boy for the future,” he continued with something of liis old levity. Airs. Dundas believed him repentant; but I could not help calling to mind a well-known distitcli about the behavior of a certain per son that shall be nameless when he was sick. One tiling i do believe, however, that he learned to love his devoted nurse thorough ly : not perhaps exactly as a man loves his wife, but reverentially thinking of her as one nearly akin to the angels. Dominic Aloore lingered nearly five years, and then a second stroke took him off sud denly. Airs. Dundas felt more lonely than ever after his death ; he hiul been her sole occupation for so long. It happened that my home was broken up about that time, and she urged me to unite my mite with hers, so that we might keep together. With the lit tle money her brother left her, she purchased the cottage where we live; she says it is to bo mine after it ceases to Lie ours. But of this time Ido not like to hear her speak : “Good people are scarce in this world,” 1 tell her, and she cannot be spared. She answers with her sweet, placid smile : “It is as God wills, and I am unite content.” UNIVERSITY OF NASHVILLE, MEDICAL DEPARTMENT.

Being in the circulation, it pervades the whole body, and may hurst out in disease on any part of it. No organ is free from its attacks, nor is there one which it may not destroy. The scrofulous taint is variously caused by mercurial disease, low living, dis ordered or unhealthy food, impure air, filth and filthy habits, the depressing vices, and, above all, by the venereal infection. What ever be its origin, it is hereditary in the con stitution, descending " from parents to children unto the third and fourth generation ; ” indeed, it seems to be th? rod of Him who says, “I will visit the iniquities of tiie fathers upon their children.” Its effects commence liy deposition from the blood of corrupt or ulcerous matter, which, in the lungs, liver, and internal organs, is termed tubercles; in the glands, swellings; and on the surface, eruptions or sores. This foul cor ruption, which genders in the blood, depresses the energies of life, so that scrofulous constitu tions not only suffer from scrofulous com plaints, hut they have far less power to with stand the attacks of other diseases; conse quently vast numbers pci ish by disorders which, although not scrofulous in their nature, are still rendered fatal by this taint in the system. Most of the consumption which de cimates the human family has its origin directly in this scrofulous contamination; and many destructive diseases of tiie liver, kidneys, brain, and, indeed, of all ihe organs, arise from or are aggravated by I lie same cause. One quarter of all our people are scrofulous; their persons are invaded by this lurking in fection, and their health is undermined by it. To cleanse it from the system we must renovate the blood by an alterative medicine, and in vigorate it by healthy food and exercise. Such a medicine we supply in AYER’S Compound Extract of Sarsaparilla, the most effectual remedy which the medical skill of our times can devise for this every where prevailing and fatal malady. It is com bined from the most active rcmediuls that have been discovered for tbe expurgation of this foul disorder from the blood, and tbe rescue of tbe system from its destructive consequence*. Hence it should lie employed for the cure of not only Scrofula, but also tliosc otbor affec tions which arise from if, such as IvuerriVE and Skin Diseases, Sr. Anthony’s Fiiik, Hose, or Hu vsiim.t.as, Pimfi.es, Piistwi.ks, Bi.otciies, Bi.ains aud Bou.s,TcMona, Tettf.u and Sai.t Kiiki m, Scai.i* Head, Hinowokm, 11 ii ec mat ism, Sy fii 11.1 tic and M ittctui ai. Dis eases, Duoi'sv, Dysfkfsia, Deiiii.ity, and, indeed, am, Co.mfi.ai.ntn aiusino hiom Vitia ted on I.mfcki: lii.oon. The popular belief in “ imp will/ of the blood” is founded in truth, for scrofula is a degeneration of tbe blood. The particular purpose and virtue of this Sarsapa rilla is to purify and regenerate this vital fluid, without which sound health is impossible ill contaminated constitutions. Ague Cure 3 FOK TIIE SPEEDY C'L'RE OP Intermittent Fever, or Fever unit Ague, Remittent Fever, t liill Fever, Dumb Ague, Periodical Ileadai lie, or Bilious Ileadac lie, ai’d Dillons Fevers, indeed for t lie whole elass of dlnr original log ill biliary deraiigenu (Used by tbe Jlalariu of Jliusmutie , .nti les. We arc enabled lierq to offer tne community a remedy which, while it cures the above complaints with certainty, is sliili perfectly harmless in any quantity. Such a remedy is invaluable in districts where these aillicting disorders prevail. This “Cuice” expels the miasmatic poison of Fevf.k and Ague from Ihe system, and prevents the de velopment of the disease, if taken on the first ap proach of its premonitory symptoms. 11 is not only the best remedy ever yet discovered fur this class of complaints, lint also the cheapest. The large quantity we supply for a dollar brings it within the reaeii of every body ; and in bilious districts, where Fevf.u and Am u prevails, every l*ody should have it and use it freely both fur cure and protec tion. A great superiority of this remedy o\er any other ever discovered fur the speedy and certain cure of Intermittents is that it contains no Quinine or mineral, consequently it produces no quinism or other injurious effects whatever upon the ernstitu tion. 'those cured by it are left as healthy as if they ha ' never had the disease. lever and Ague is not alone the consequence of the miasmatic poison. A great variety of disor ders arise from its irritation, among which are Anoa/i/w, llheutnotism , ffiarf, Headache, lllind nes.r, 'toothache, Kovache, Catarrh, Asthma, I’al jntatton. Painful Affection of the Spleen, Hyster ic*, Pain in the JSotccls, Colic, Paralysis anil l)e --ranyement of the Stomach, all of which, when originating in this cause, put on the intermittent type, or become periodical. This “ Clue ” expels tiie poison from the blood, and consequently cures them all alike. It is an invaluable protection lo immigrants and persons travelling or temporarily residing in the malarious districts. If taken occa sionally or daily while exposed to the infection, that will be excreted from the system, and cannot accumulate in sufficient quantity to ripen into dis ease. Hence it is even more valuable for protec tion than cure, and few will ever suffer fr„.n Inter- j miltents if they avail themselves of the pre—tion this remedy affords. Prepared by Dr. J. C.
