The damage to the Champion, last week,
at Half-Moon Bend below this city, was not
very serious. After lightering and repairs,
she proceeded down the river.
Walter Moss, of Salem, was in our city,
last week, looking after the Mercury inter
ests. He promised us a call but guess
he was too busy.
We make no charge for religious notices,
births, marriages, and deaths. Such notices
should be handed in before 9 o'clock A. M.
on Thursday, to secure insertion.
Me3sr3. Pygall & Irwin have first-class
teams and wagons, careful drivers, anil arc

ton and Adams streets, Corvallis.
A very interesting letter from the pen of
Capt. J. J. Winant, of Alameda, Cal. , was
received too late for this issue. Will ap
pear next week.
Said a patron, last week, " why don't
you publish the death of children in the
Gazette?" We publish all such notices,
free, if handed us but do not like to
' guess" at such things.
Now is the time to renew your subscrip
tion to Gazette, and Eend an extra copy to
a friend East. It saves writing letter:), and
is more satisfactory.
The appointment for serviets at the M.
E. church next Sabbath, at 11 A. M. , is re
called, in consequence of the continued ill
ness of Prof. Royal, who was expected to
fill the appointment, at that hour.
Just as we co to press, we are informed
that Mrs. C. J. Manning, who lives oppo
site the College, is in nearly destitute cir
cumstances'. Relief should be tendered
itcmidiatelg. Who will look after the matter?
Last Wednesday, Mrs. Ma lelia fi'riibbs, of
this city, (relict of the late Dr. J. ('. Gxalibs),
buried her babe. It died of whooping
cough, and her other children arc suffering
from the same disease. ,
Mr. Wm. Grant, of the firm of Brake &
Grant, merchant tailors, started for the Bey,
last Tuesday for the purpose of improving
his ranch and building a house in the place
of the one destroyed by lire last summer.
Quite a large number of claims have been
located in the Yaquina Bay and Alsea coun
try during the last fall, and even daring the
winter. That country is looking up very
rapidly.
Gilbert; McFadden, of this city, has pur
chased the improvements on the Dr. Right
Yaquina ranch. "Gib." says it is a good
place to "raise children." Strong induce
ment for a newly married man.
List of supervisors, and several commu
nications, unavoidably crowded out, this
week. Notwithstanding we ar printing
all the Gazette at home, yet we are still
crowded for room. Perhaps this fact ac
counts for the rapid increase in our sub
scription list.
Little Ned. Simmons was very sick last
Wednesday night needed a doctor. Guess
he will not drink from a " bottle" found in
the debris of a saloon at the "last," and
even at the "first." it " biteth like a ser
pent and stingeth like an adder. "
Vick's Floral Guide for January, 1S79, is
upon our table. It is grand. The best
thing, of its kind, ever published in any
(iountry. It contains his usual liberal offers
to editors, or rather editor's wives. As a
florist and seedsman, James Vick, Roches
ter, N. Y., has no equals.
We are indebted to Miller & Richard,
San Francisco, and to Hon. F. A. Cheno
weth, of the Pboenix Insuran -e, for hand
some calendars but the nobbiest of all, is
from Himes the Printer, Portland. With
such helps the Gazette will certainly be on
time during the coming year. Only $2 50 a
year and everybody wants it.
Mrs. E. A. Knight, milliner of this city
has opened her new stock' of goods, the va
rious articles of which we cannot now stop
to specify; but if you want to see some
thing fancy, just step in.
The Chinese had a good-time last Monday
and Tuesday, and seemed to enjoy their
New Year's holiday. They are unusually
quiet in CorvaHis. however, and are no"t
much given to fire-crackers and hideous
" music" for all of which we are duly
thanktul.
Mrs. Ira A. Miller wishes to inform the
ladies of Corvallis and vicinity, that she is
doing dressmaking in all the latest styles
and in the very best manner. She can be
found at her residence, east side Third, between-
Washington and Adams streets. Give
her a call, and see for yourself.
PROF. PLUMMER
Few men are more widely or more favora
bly known, throughout this State and the
adjoining Territories, than Prof. C. B. Plum
mer. For many years he has made elocu
tion a life-study, and until the failure of his
voice, by disease, had few equals as an elo
cutionist. Having partially recovered the
use of his voice, he give3 occasional enter
tainments. On last Saturday evening he
gave one of his popular parlor entertain
ments at the City Hall, to an appreciative
and delighted audience. His renderings of
some of the pieces were faultless, and called
forth rapturous applause. We regret that
there were so many vacant seats. Many of
our citizens missed a rare treat. Prof.
Pluuimer is not only an excellent elocution
ist, but possesses, in an eminent degree, all
those high, moral and social qualities of the
perfect gentleman. In addition to his pop
ular, pleasing and instructive entertain
ments, he is doing a nobie work by his vis
its to the various institution 5 of learning,
throughout our State. Duiii.g his late so
journ in this city, he paid a visit to tic
State Agricultural College, and, by request,
read a few pieces, in his usual happy style,
and gave some useful hints on elocution.
The next time you come, to Corvallis,
Professor, scud a postal card ahead, so that
we may give notice through the Gazette,
of your appearance, as many of your friends,
out in the country, regret that they failed
to see you, when here. Look a "leedle oud"
next time.
Good Te.mI'I.au Beneitt. It hai been a
ood many years since the citizens of Cor
allis have given the good Templar Lodge a
benefit Many persons whose family duties,
business relations, and other good and suf
ficient reasons, prevent them from connec
tion with the Lodge have the "Good of the
Order" at heart, and are kindly disposed to
ward the organization. For over eighteen
years the banner of Excelsior Lodge No. 9,
has been proudly Heating in this city. The
numbers who have taken the vows of Fidel
ity at our altar are almost legion. Many of
them are true to thoje vows some, alas!
are not. But that the organization has ac
complished great good, 110 one, who is ac
quainted with its history, will dare deny.
Many, to-day, arc bettor, purer, nobler men
and women for having taken those vows.
Hut our work is still in its infancy, and the
Lodge has scarcely entered upon its grand
I mission. But to carry forward any good
I work requires self sacrifice, time, labor and
I means. Wo need a new organ, new lamps,
and some other improvements in our Lodge
room, and we desire the citizens of Corvallis
and vicinity those who feel interested in
the great temperance roform, and who can
not make it convenient to do their part in
Lodg'i work, to give as a "Kit," financially.
A small amount from each friend of the
cause would not be missed by thorn, but, in
the aggregate, would help us wonderfully.
A committee of arrangements are now pre
paring an entertainment, to be given at the
City Hall on the 14th of February, to which
the public will be cordially invited. From
the manner in which the matter is taken
hold of by the committee, we are sati3tied it
will be a success. Get your ;30 cents ready.
Prosperous LoDiJi:. Excelsior Lodge No.
9, I. O. G. T-, wnich has the honor of being
the oldest Lodge in the Stale, is now in a
very prosperous condition, aupnew mem
bers are fast coming in. On last Friday ev
ening there were seven propositions ; and
will be several more this evening. The lite
rary exercises are becoming quite interest
ing and form an attractive feature of the
Lodge room. On last Friday evening T. l.
Cauthorn, W. C. T. rea l one of John B.
Cough's thrilling lectures, which was well
received. We have quite a number of young
ladies an 1 gents well qualified to entertain
the Lodge, while it offers them fine oppor
tunity for improving themselves in rhetorical
exercises. Let every member be on hand
promptly at 7 o'clock, this evening. A.
large number of initiations, and a grand
good time is expected. Sociability and good
humor arc the leading characteristics of a
(iood Templar Lodge and especially so in
ExceLior No. 9.
CORVALLIS AND ALBANY-
Another change has been made in the Stage
line between this city and Albany, Mr. C.
Douglass retiring from its proprietorship.
Mcssr3. O. V. Motley and George E. Bent
ley, are the new proprietors. They are both
well known in this county ; arc reliable and
honorable, and mean business. We bespeak
for them a generous public patronage. Mr.
Dougla;3 returns thanks to the traveling
public for liberal patronage, and takes pleas
ure in recommending his successors. In
sneaking of the change, the Albany Demo
crat of the 17lh inst. , says :
O. V. Motley and George B ntley, of this
city, have bought the stage line running be
tween Albany and Corvallis, and took pos
session of it last Monday. This line has
been owned for gome time by Chester Doug
lass, of Corvallis, and probably )avs better
than any other in the State in proportion to
its length and the amount of money invest
ed in stages, stock, etc., required to son it.
We hope the new firm of Motley & Bentley
will make a good thing out of it ; they are
perfect gentlemen, and deserve a large pat-
1 ronacre.
Pexitejttiary fob LrFE. Joseph Swards,
the youngest of the O'Shea robbers, and
murders of Young Joseph, of Portland, has
been sentenced to the penitentiary for life
and entered upon the service of the State.
He is a mere boy, but was equally criminal,
and only his extreme youth saved his neck.
It is a sad warning to boys to beware of bad
company.
Police Judge. L. B. Stearns, Esq., has
been appointed Police Judge of Portland.
He is a thorough gentleman, fully compe
tent to fill the position with credit to him
self and profit to the public.
That BENEvir. Last week we omitted
to mention the fact that the enterfainsaent
for the benefit of the Evangelical Church,
in this city, on the evening of the 9th inst.,
at the City Hall, consisting of recitations,
pautoinimes, vocal and instrumental music,
etc , was a complete success, financially and
otherwise. The hall was filled by an appre
ciative audience, the programme was excel
lent, and everything passed off most hap
pily. The net preceeds were handsome.
New Fibe Engine. The new hand en
gine " Young America," from Button &Son,
Waterford, New York, arrived on the steam
er Ohio at our wharf last Sunday. On Tues
day it was taken to the shop of Spiedel &
Tracy, and set up, and on Wednesday morn
ing wa3 tested by Young America Engine
Company, under the supervision of Chief
Engineer, T. J. Buford. It was a very dis
agreeable time for trial the mud being
ankle deep, in places but the hosemen did
their work nobly, and the men at the brakes
worked as shough they meant business.
The trial was considered very satisfactory,
under all the circumstances. She threw a
fine stream 173 feet. It is a handsome en
gine. More particulars next week.
GRAVE ROBBING.
It seems that grave robbing is not confied
alone to the Eastern States. The Albany
Democrat has the following :
Last week a young German, a stranger in
these parts died, and some of his country
men thinking that probably the grave, rob
bers would get the body, agreed to watch
the grave at night for a while. The first
night their vigils were not rewarded by see
ing any one, but on the second night at
about 11 o'clock, a light hack containing
two men, drove up and stopped at the fence
at the southwest corner of the cemetery,
near where the body was buried. One man
got out, looked at the grave and then went
over to the Indian camp near by, probably
for the purpose of getting some of the bucks
to assist iu dieaudfe. The Indians had evi
dently seen the parties who were on the
watch, and told the man of it, for he almost
instantly returned to the hack on a run, and
jumping. in, put the "bud" to his horses
and drove away in a hurry. A few days
afterward a young lady was buried, and her
friends have also taken it upon themselves
to watch her grave until the danger of the
removal of the body is over. We cannot
find words strong enough to express our dis
approbation of this horrid work of body
snatching, and do hope that those scoun
drels who have been making it their occupa
tion will be brought to justice.
Baxk in Corvallis. It i3 now a fixed
fact that we are to have a Bank iu Corvallis,
immediately. For a nu-r.ber of weeks past
there have been numerous vagae rumors rela
tive to the establishment of an institution
of this kind, but we could learh nothing def
inite or tangible about it. For lack of a
bank, business has suffered materially, and
business men have been seriously inconven
ienced, not being able to procure a check,
for any amount, nearer than Albany or Sa
lem. Mr. W. B. Hamilton, of our city,
feeling this need, has concluded to establish
a bank for deposit and exchange. His safe,
one of the latest improved, lire and burglar
proof, weighing 5,000 lbs., came up to Port
land on the last steamer from San Francisco,
and is expected at Corvallis to-day. This is
a move in the right direction, and indicates
a commendable business enterprise. We
trust Mr. Hamilton will meet, as he de
serves, the hearty co-operation of all our
business men.
The New Hotel. On last Wednesday
Messrs. Allphin & Lord finished the
removal of the large two-story building
on the corner of Second and Madison
streets, 26 feet to the rear, to give room for
the new hotel buildinar, to be immediately
erected by Young & Polly. This week the
contract for the new building, 26 by 50 feet,
3 stories high, to be completed by the 25th
of May, has been awarded to W. M. Pit
man & Co. Contract price, 3,495. Sever
al propositions have been made to Dr. J. R.
Bayley, lately, for the purchase of the lot
on the opposite corner. A three-story
brick, on that corner, would be a most valu
able property. Only a few hundred dollars
in price prevents the improvement of these
and other lots in Corvallis. Transfers of
real estate will be more lively as the cer
tainty of railroad communication increases.
Corvallis is on the eve of unprecedented
prosperity.
Westside R. R. Since it is now a fixed
fact no more nonsense that the westside
railroad will be completed to Corvalls, next
summer, locating parties being already in
the field, working this way, it is well for
our citizens to profit by the experience of
Albany and Salem in the matter of the lo
cation of the K. R. depot. The depot should
be as near the business part of the city as
possible and not out in the foot-hills. "A
word to the wise is .sufficient." Eight at
the start, this matter should be amicably
arranged with the R. R. Company, even
though it should cost a few thousand dol
lars. No "dog in the manger policy " should
be countenanced in Corvallis. Let our bus
iness men and capitalists come to the front,
at once, and work for the greatest good to
the greatest number.
Further Particulars. Our Monroe
correspondent, under date of 10th inst.,
says : " You ask particulars of suicide.
There is no reason given, and no inquest was
held. Mrs. Banton appeared to bo down
east, yet attended to her work. On the
morning of her death, she did all the work
down stairs, and then went' up stairs and
made the bed. The children had a swingon
one end of the collar-beams, and it is sup
posed she saw thia, and at once, on the im
pulse of the moment, lung herself. Her
knees must have almost touched the floor.
Her daughter, only seveu years old, cut her
down. That is all wo know of the sad af
fair." Mrs. Edwards, (wife of the County
Commissioner), who broke her arm, some
time ago, is doing very well, and hopes soon
to recover full use of the disabled member.
The Contrast. A correspondent writing
from Ya-juina Bay, under date of 12th inst.,
says : While the Columbia ha3 been frozen,
the little steam launch, Eureka, ha3 made
regular trips (rom Newport to Pioneer
from the sea to the head of navigation
without any difficulty. The ice has never
entirely closed the river between Elk and
Pioneer, 24 miles from the bay. And this
has been the case with every " cold snap "
since 1864. While the Columbia lias been
frozen for weeks at a time, people on the
Yaquina have passed from point to point
without any inconvenience. B.
Narrow Gougers. A narrow gauge rail
road meeting was held at Crawfordsviile last
Saturday, and the sum of 500 subscribed.
. . . .There will be a meeting of the citizens
of Lebanon and vicinity at that place next
Saturday in the interest of the narrow
gauge.... We understand that Col. Hogg
has made the proposition to the Brownsville
folk3 that if they want a narrow gauge to
run across the valley and connect with the
Yaquina road, and will grade and tie the
road bed, he will furnish the iron and rollintr
stock When last heard from the people
at Brownsville and that vicinity had raised
about $10,000 for the railroad fund The
narrow gauge railroad subscription paper
was started at Salem a few days ago. The
Kiuneys headed the paper with 4,000.
The other citizens will not much more than
double taat amount. Albany Democrat,
17th inst.
In Luck. Clarence E. Staats, on the 18th
inst. , killed a very large cayote on the farm
of J. W. Allen, Kings valley, for which he
received a bounty of 856.50. Pretty good
day's work that hunt.
9,' p-. Stage company have placed a
half -daily line of stages on their route be
tween Roseburg and Canyonville. With
this addition they can carry all the mail
passing over the route.
WESTSIDE RAILROAD.
The editor of the Junction City Republican,
notwithstanding occasional bitter personali
ties, gets off some pretty good things, in a
style peculiar to himself. In speaking of
the extension of the westside road to Junc
tion City, he says :
The building of the Westside road to Cor
vallis, must needs necessitate its construc
tion on to Junction City to tap the O. & C.
R. It. If the local business of the country
will warrant the building of this road to
Corvallis the local business of south Benton
and Lane counties, together with the natural
advantages of connection, will warrant its
construction to Junction City. The exten
sion to Junction City is only a question of
pecuniary benefit to the company. Some
how or other many people do not tumble to
the racket the Yaquina Bay rood will make
in this upper valley, when fully equipped
and put in' operation.
Interested parties at Portland have jeered
so long at the plausibility of the undertak
ing, that many moon-struck cusses think
the sun rises and sets iu Portland that no
other outlet to tide water is possible but by
way of Portland. . We'll
bet a pint of Bascom's best that the wests'ale
road comes to the "forks" and we'll go a
nip on top of that, that the Metropolis of
Oregon follows the road! We'll be "the
only paper in the State," then bah ! won't
we soar high as a June bug on a May morn
ing ? W hen this Yaquina road has absorbed
the traffic of the Willamette valley and its
accumulative industries have beaten this
outlet to the sea into a broad highway of
commercial exit, the "Phat Boy" will then
be peddling peanuts on the v. istside .and
Portland on Willamette will be a way sta
tion from Walla Walla to Newport.
V. N- CASTLE'S AFFAIRS
Referring to the defalcation of W. N.
Castle, who suicided at the jail door in As
toria, a San Francisco pape r says : " Castle
has been a resilient of San Jose for the past
ten years, and has hitherto borne a good
reputation, being industrious and enterpris
ing. He has been twice elected to the office
of city clerk and assessor. Castle's bonds
as assessor show that he is delinquent to the
payment of $1,963, collected by him on per
sonal property assessment, for which re
ceipts were given, the stub3 of which are in
Lotz's possession. It appears that Castle
was behind hand 8600 a year ago, but as he
paid it uj before the treasurer made his an
nual settlement, nothing Was said of it.
Treasurer Lotz discovered the deficiency
early in November and told Castle that he
must makeup the amount at once, which
he promised from time to time to do, but
failed."
Praise Meeting. The prayer and praise
meeting, at the M. E. church, in this city,
last Sabbath evening week, was well attend
ed and very interesting Revs. J. W. York,
J. A. Hanna and Joseph Emery assisted the
pastor, Rev. G. W. Bennett, in conducting
the same. By almost unanimous vote of
the congregation, it was decided to hold a
similar meeting in two weeks from that time,
next Sabbath evening, at the same place.
Please bring your Gospel Hymns with you.
Justly Punished. One Amos Harvey,
well known to the police of this city, and
who has given them no little trouble by his
consorting with the Indians hereabouts, and
furnishing them liquor, has lately been con
victed, before Judge Deady's Court for the
third time. The lice of the 16th inst., in
speaking of his case, says: Amos C. Har
vey, tried in the U. S. Diatrict court for sel
ling liquor to Indians, was convicted and
sentence!! to the penitentiary for one year.
It was Harvey's third offense, which ac
counts for the severity of the punishment.
Boys Arrester. Six small boys who
have attained a very mischievous age, were
arrested to-day charged with larceny, ami
taken before Justice Davis. It seems they
broke into an old house in Ooose Hollow, at
t'te west end of town, belonging to one
Franklin, and appropriated a few things,
such as an old pistol and other articles
found on the premises. The boys were ap
prehended while attending school, and wiil
be examine 1 to-morrow. We omit the names
out of consideration for their parents who
are respectable people. Portland Bee.
Fair Wabntinij. The custom house offi
cials of Portland have been making a ton
of the city cautioning cigar dealers against
keeping or giving away empty cigir boxes
from which the r avenue stamp has not been
removed.
To the vast multitude of sufferers from
fever and ague, coughs, colds, congestions,
headache, billiousness, an 1 all other ills in
cident to the climate of the Pacific slope,
we say, cheer up ! a week will see a great
change wrought in you for the better, if you
will follow our advice an 1 take Frese's Ham
burg Tea according to directions.
Triumph of Science.
Chemistry never achieved a more decided
triumph than in the production of SOZO
DUNT, which is a botanical preparation of
wondrous efficiency in preserving and beau
tifying the teeth, rescuing them from decay,
and rendering thein as white as alabaster.
It is a toilet luxury of which all should avail
themselves. The unpleasant odor commu
nicated to the breath by catarrh, bad teeth,
etc., is entirely obviated by this fragrant
and salutary antiseptic of which one bottle
lasts a long time. Druggists and perfu
mers sell it.
Consumption Cured.
An old physician retired from active prac
tice, having had placed in his hands by an
East Indian missionary the formula of a sim
ple vegetable remedy for the speedy and per
manent cure of Consumption, Bronchitis.
Catarrh, Asthma, and all Throat and Lung
affections, also a positive and radical cure
for General Debility and all nervous com
plaints, after having thoroughly tested its
wonderful curative powers in thousands of
cases, feels it his duty to make it known
to his suffering fellows. The recede. wiH' be
sent free of charge, to all whndeMB it, with
full directions for preparing and successfully
using. Address with stamp, naming this
paper Dr. J. O. Stone, 44 North Ninth
Street Philadelpha, Pa.
BOKIST
In this city, Jan. 21st,
Joshua Mason a son.
to the wife of
DIED.
In this county, Jan. 11th, 1S79, Oscar
Albert, son of W. W. and Eliza J. Dow,
aged 6 years, 8 months and 23 days.
At his residence, in this county, Jan. 19,
1S79, George W. McBee, aged 43 years 8
months and 5 days.
Deceased was born in Stark county, Ohio,
and came across the plains to Oregon in 1852,
and settled in Benton county, where he con
tinuously resided until removed by death.
Was married to Miss Missouri E. Porter,
Oct. 13, 1864, who died Sept.. 2, 1875. Mr.
McBee was an honorable, upright man, a
good citizen, kind friend and neighbor, and
leaves three children, and a large number of
relatives and friends to mourn their loss.
His disease was typhoid pneumonia, and
lived only nine days after being taken sick
cut down in the very prime of life. Surely,
in " the midst of life we are in death."
Don't Forget It.
If you are troubled with nervousness are
disheartened tired of life, fear death or feel
out of sorts as the saying is, you may safely
conclude that you have the Dyspepsia or
Liver Complaint. The liver is very apt to
become torpid this season of the year as
poisons ansmc from stagnant water
or decaying vegetation are more numerous
and are through inhalation taken into the
blood. Unless the liver is strong and active
and furnishes a supply, of fresh and pure
blood to drive out the impurities, the above
mentioned symtoins surely follow, and if
not heeded, end in more terrible diseases
and death. White's Prairie flower proves
itselt the Oreat Liver Panacea. Its action
on the liver is different from any medicine
ever compounded. Its cures are truely won
derful. Try it. Price twenty-five cents
and seventy-five cents.
Liver is King-.
The Liver is the imperial organ of the
whole human system, as it controls the life,
health and happiness of man. When it is
disturbed in its proper action, all kinds of
ailments are the natural result. The diges
tion of food, the movements of the heart
and blood, the action of the brain and nerv
ous system, are all immediately connected
with the workings of the Liyer. It has
been successfully proved that Green's Au
gust Floweris unequalled iri curing all person
alllietrd with Dyspepsia or Liver Complaint,
and all the nerveons symptoms that result
from an unhealthy condition of the Liver
and Stomach. Sample bottles to try, 10
cents. Positively sold in all towns on the
Western Continent. Three doses will prove
that it is just what you want.
Quinine and Arsenic
form the basis of many of the Ague reme
dies in the market, and are the Lust resort of
physicians and people who know no better
medicine to employ for this distressing com
plaint. The effects of either of these drugs
are destructive to the system, producing
headache, intestinal disorders, vertigo, dizzi
ness, ringing of the ears, and depression of
the constitutional health. Ayeb's Aoue
Cure is a vegetable discovery, containing
neither quinine, arsenic, nor any deleterious
ingredient, and is an infallible and rapid
cure for every form of Fever and Ague. Its
effects are permanent and certain, and no

Ayer's Ague Cure,
For Fever and Ague, Intermittent Fever,
Chill Fever, Remittent Fever, Dumb Ague.
Periodical or Bilious Fever, &c, and indeed
all the affections which arise from malari
ous, marsh, or miasmatic poisons.
This is a compound remedy, prepared with,
scientific skill from vegetable ingredients, which
rarely fails to cure the severest cases of Chilis,
mid Fever and the concomitant disorders. Such
a remedy the necessities of the people in mala
rious districts demand. Its great superiority
over any other medicine yet discovered for the
cure of Intcrmittents is, that it contains no qui
nine or mineral, and those who take it are free
from danger of quinism or any injurious effect!,
and are as healthy after using it as before. It
has been extensively employed during the last
thirty years in the treatment of these distressing
disorders, and so unvarying has been its success
that it has gained the reputation of being infal
lible. It can, therefore, be safely recommended
as a sure remedy and specific for the Fever and
Ague of the West, and the Chills and Fever of
the South. It counteracts the miasmatic poison
iu the blood, and frees the system from its influ
ence, so that fever and ague, shakes or chills,
once broken up by it, do not return until the
disease is again contracted. . . -
The great variety of disorders which arise from
the irritation of this poison, such as Neuralgia,
Rheumatism, Gout, Headache, Blindness,
Toothache, Earache, Catarrh, Asthma, Pal
pitation, Splenic A fleet ions, Hysterics, Fain
iu the Bowels, Colic, Paralysis, and derange
of the Stomacli, all of which become intermit
tent or periodical, have no speedier remedy than
Ayek's Ague Cube, which cures them all alike,
and protects the system from future attacks. As .
a preventive, it is of immense service in those
communities where Fever and Ague prevails, as
it stays the development of the disease if taken
on the first approach of the premonitory symp
toms. Travellers and temporary residents are
thus enabled to defy these disorders, and few
will ever suffer if they avail themselves of the
protection this remedy affords.
For tiver Complaints, arising from torpidity,
it is an excellent remedy ; it stimulates tins organ
into healthy activity, and produces many remark
able cures where cither medicines fail.
