Everyone will admit that it should be perfectly safe lor old snd young of both sexes, st sny and sll times ; tbst it should be acceptable both to the taste and Use stomach : that It should never fall to act promptly and thoroughly, yet painlessly, and it should give strength to those organs. It is now well known that Syrup of Figs possesses those qualities iu a preeminent degree. j r Dr. Rauch said before the Illinois Drainage Association that marshy and low lands are not only unhealthy grounds, but that hills sr. often the source of virulent malaria fever. All aoil is naturally moist, and soil moisture is tbe cause of many diseases. The ground under buildings should be kept as dry as possible. In auy depression to which there is no drainage the seeds of malaria are to be found. ilajf ptais rrnxiAM s. noae, RratM affbia Ploarrr Jonmatlot f SJaa SSSa. lo mji ' rneived The followiiij iti ii j was ipn'cl last evening ; Stockton, Much 2fJ.- At 12o'orccb last night Captain W.
