AGIJE.
Ague 1 thou most contemptible of all diseases
That flesh is heir to, thy base action freezes,
Our very blood is marrow, racks the bones,
Till anguished nature yields thee tribute groans.
Thou makest brave men e'en like cowards shake,
And heads with intellectual bumps to ache,
Subdued the light of softly brilliant eyes,
And feasteth on th' unnatural sacrifice.
Thy torturing malice spares not e'en the ladies,
Nor youth, nor innocence—torture thy traders.
On young, fresh bloom thou banquet, till it turn
First pale, then yellow, parched and shrivelled
—burn
Each latent spark of health, and worse, much
Renders hero a morbid curse,
Yet, thou art most contemptible 1 Thy skill,
Could never one poor shuddering victim kill.
Death, when defeated, leaves thee on the track,
A sneaking bloodhound spy, to trail hint back;
Akiltd of whipper•in at misery's game,
The keen aportman's drudge or much the same.
Like the foul slanderer, your base attacks
Secure and safely urge behind men's backs,
Till rank pollution spreads a withering blight,
Then grin, and chatter forth your envious spite.
Thine origin, from gathered dregs of evil—
Thy rank, the pensioned agent of the devil—
Thy mission, horrid swearing to provoke—
Fresh bait for sinners, pious saints to choke.
Thou scourge of patience, suffering patients
scourge,
At once frost, fever, sweat, emetic, purge I
Oh I for some potent charm or potent spell
To send thee back where kindred demons dwelll
No more I'll scout thee. This fine, sunny day,
Invitekenjoyment. To the fields away I
Let's walk, ride, dance, or sing a merry song—
Tush for the ague I Who cares ? Come along!
The chilly air somewhat my frame benumbs—

Sowing Grain in Orchards.
We frequently see this folly along the
line of our railroeds. in our summer travel.
Here we see a splendid crop of rye, and
there a vigorous growth of oats or barley
Sometimes Indian corn is planted in a
young orchard. We believe the practice
to be bad husbandry. A neighbor of ours
had an apple orchard, set about ten years
since. He took admirable care of it for
several years ; washing the trunks and
larger limbs with strong soap.suds, and
manuring them abundantly. The orchard
was a beautiful sight and began to bear
fruit. The crop was a good one, but it
proved disastrous to his orchard. It check
ed the growth of the wood, end it has borne
no fruit since. Similar facts are abundant
in the experience of farmers. We cannot
tell, perhaps, all the causes of this injury
to fruit trees. Any grain crop is a heavy
draft upon the land, and probably uses up
the material the young trees want to per
fect their fruit. A grain crop shades the
soil very much also, and this must prove
injurious. It is well to keep a young or
chard under cultivation for some years, but
the ground should only be cropped with
roots, and abundantly manured. An or
chard will pay us for our trouble according
to the capital and labor we spend upon its
cultivation..-American figrtcutturist.

GREATEST MEDWAXA DISOO
- OF THE AGE.
Dr. Kennedy, of Roxbury, ha.i discovered in one
of our common pasture wends a remedy
that cures
%TEO ;Op 0? M©OlBfl
the worst scrofula down to a cJmmon pimple,
He has tried it to over 1100 cuses, and never
failed except in two cases, (both ti under humor.)
He has now in his possession one: two hundred
certificates of its viatue, all within twenty miles
of Boston.
Two bottles arc warranted to cure a nursing
sore mouth.
One to three bottles will cure tl a worst kind
of Pimples on the fuce.
T our three bottles will clear the system o
Biles.
Two bottles are warranted to cure the worst
case of Erysipelas.
One to two bottles are warranted to cure all
humor in the Eyes.
Two bottles are warranted to cure running of
the ears and blotches among the hair.
Four to six bottles arc warranted to cure cor
rupt and running ulcers.
One bottle will cure scaly eruption of the
skin.
Two to three bottles are warranted to cora the
worst case of ringworm.
Two to three bottles are warranted to cure the
most desperate case of rheumatism.
Three to four bottles aro warranted to cure the
salt rheum.
Five to eight bottles will cure the worst case
of scrofula.
A benefit is always experienced from the first
bottle, and a perfect cure is warranted when the
above quantity is taken.
Reader, I peddled over a thousand bottles of
this in the vicinity of Boston. I knew the effect
of it in every case. do sure as water will e' tin
gulch fire, so sure will this cure humor. I never
sold a bottle of it but that sold another; after
trial it always speaks for itself. There are two
things about this herb that appear to me surpri
sing ; first that it grows in our pastures, in some
pieces quite plentiful, and yet its value hal never
been known until I discovered it in 1840—second
that it should cure all kinds of humor.
In order to give some idea of the sudden rise
and great popularity of the discovery. I will
State that in April, 1853,.1 peddled it and sold
about slx bottles per day—in April, 1854, I sold
over one thousand per day of it.
. .
Some of the wholesale Druggists who have
been in business twenty and thirty years, say
that nothing in the annals of patent medicines
was ever like it. Tic re is a universal praise of
it from all quarters.
In my own practice I always kept It strictly for
humors—but since its introduction as a general
family medicine, great and wonderful virtues
bare been found in it that I never suspected.
Several cases of epileptic fits—a disease which
was always considered incurable, have been cu
red by a few bottles. 0. what a mercy if it will
prove effectual in all cases of that dreadful mal
ady—there are bat few who have more of it than
I have.
Iktiow of several cases of Dropsy, all of whom
aged people cured by it. For the various disea
ses of the Liver, Si-k Headache, Dyspepsia,
Asthma, Fever and Ague, Pain in the Side, Dis
eases of the Spine, and particnlarly in diseases
of the Kidneys, &c., the discovery has done more
good than any medicine ever known. '
No change of diet ever necessary—eat the best
you can get and enough of it.

J. A. Rhodes - , FA.: Deft; Sir—As I took your
medicine to sell on consignment, "no cure no
pay, , ' I take pleasure in stating its effects as re
ported to me by three broth trs who live in this
place, and their testimony is a fair specimen of
all I have received:
W. S. Conklin told me—"l had taken nine
bottles of Christie's Ague Balsam, and continu
ally run down while using it until my lungs and
liver were Congested to that degree that blood
discharged front my month and bowels, so that
all thought it impossible for me to live through
another chill. The doctors too did all they could
for me, but thought I must die. Nothing did me
good until I got Ithodes' Fever and Ague Cure,
which at once relieved me of the distress and nail
aea at my stomach and pain in my head and
bowels, and produced a permanent cure in a
shots time."
11. M. Conklin says t "I haf taken medicine
of as good a doctor as we have in our county,
and taken any quantity of quinine and specifics
without any good results from 25th August to
17th December. But seeing how nicely it ope
rated on my brother, I got a bottle of Risotto'
Fever and Ague Cure, which effected a perma
nent cure by using two thirds of a bottle."
S. M. Conklin was not here, but both other
brothers say his ease was the same as H. M's.
1 sold the medicine to both the same day, and
the cure was as speedy from the same small q tan
tity, and I might so specify. Yours with rt.
A. HUNTINGTON.
The above speaks for itself. Good proof as it
is, it is of no better tenor then the vast number
of like certificates 1 have already published, and
thq still greater amount Om is pouring in to me.
One thing more. Lnst year I had occasion to
Caution the Public in these words :
"1 notice one firm who have taken one of my gen
eral circulars, substituted the name of their nostrum
for my medicine, and eben with brazen impudence
end their pamphlet with the exclamation, "Let the
proprietor of any other medicine say as much if he
dares,' "
Now I take pleasure in saying that the Cau
tion referred to the sumo "Dr. Christie's Ague
Balsam" that is mentioned in the above certifi
cate.
There are several other industrious people who
are applying to their poisonous trash all that I
pu'fiisli about my Fever and Aguo Cure, or An
tidote to Malaria, except the Certificates of cures
and the Certificate of the celebrated Chemist,
Dr. James R. Chilton, of N. Y. in favor of its
perfectly harmless character, which is attached
to every bottle. These will always serve to dis
tinguish my medicine from imitations. For sale

For the rapid care of Coughs, Colds, Iluarse

Consumption, is universally known as the best
remedy ever yet discovered fm• every variety of
Pulmonary disease. So wide is the field of its
usefulness and so numerous the cases of its cures
that almost every section of the country abounds
in persons publicly known, who have been re
stored from alarming and even desperate cases
of the lungs by its use. When once tried its su

is too apparent to escape observation, and where
its virtues are known, the public no longer hesi
tate what antidote to employ for the distressing
and dangerous affections of the pulmonary or
gans which are incident to our climate. By its
timely use many, nay, almost all attacks of dis
ease upon the Lungs or Throat, are arrested
and thus are saved ninny thousands every year
from a premature grave. No family should lie
without it, and those who do neglect to provide

they have any quantity of all sorts of other

SECRET DISEASES.—GIects Strictures,
Seminal Weakness, Pain in the Loins, Affections
of the Kidneys, and all those peculiar affections
arising from a secret habit, particularly the youth
of both sexes, which if not cured, produces con
stitutional debility, rendering marriage impossi
ble, and in the end destroys both Mind and Body.
Young Men,
especially, who have become the victims of Sol
itary Vice, that dreadful and destructive habit
which annually sweeps to an untimely grave thou
sands of young men of the most exalted talents
and brilliant intellect, who might otherwise have
entranced listening senates with the thunders of
eloquence, or waked to eestacy the living lyre,
may call with full confidence.
Married Persons,
or those contemplating marriage, ',Zing aware of
physical weakness, should immediately consult
Dr. J., and be restored to perfect health.

you will mistake the place.
A cure warranted, or no charge made, in from
one to two days.
TAKE NOTICE.-Dr. Johnston's office is in his
dwelling, up the steps. Ilia very extensive prac
tice is a sufficient guarantee, that he is the only
propel physician to apply to.
Dr. Johston, member of the Royal College of
Surgeons. London, graduate from ono of the
most eminent Colleges of the United States, and
the greater part of whose life has been spent in
the:Hospitals of London, Paris Philadelphia, and
elsewhere, hats effected some of the most aston
ishing cures that were ever known, many trou
bled with ringing in the ears and head when
asleep, great nervousness, being alarmed at sud
den sounds, and bashfulness, with frequent blush
ing attended sometimes with derangement of
mind, were cured immediately.
A CERTAIN DISEA9I4.-It is a melancholy fact
that thousnntls full victims to this horrid disease
owing to the unskilfulness of ignorant pretenders
who by the use of that deadly poison Mercury,
ruin the Constitution, causing the most serious
symptoms of that dreadful disease to make their
appearance, such as affections of the head, nose,
throat, skin, etc., progressing with frightful ra
pidity till death puts a period to their dreadful
suffering, hy senditig thein io that Bourne whence
no traveler returns.
TAKE PARTICULAK NOTICE.--YOllKg men who
have injured themselves by a certain practice in
dulged in when alone—a habit frequently learned
from evil companions, or at school—the effects
of which are nightly felt, even when asleep, end
if not cured renders marriage impossible, and de
stroys both mind and body.
What a pity that a young man, the hope of his
country, Mid the darling of his parents should bo
snatched from all prospects and enjoyments of
life by the consequence of derinting from the path
of nature and indulging inn certain secret habit.
Such persons before coutcanplating Marriage,
should reflect that a sound mind and body are
the most necessary requisites to promote connu
bial happiness, Indeed without these, the jour
ney through life becomes a weary pilgrimage,
the prospect hourly darkens to the view; the
mind becomes shadowed with despair, and tilled
with the melancholy reflection, that the happiness
of another becomes blighted with our own.
ContyrrrunoNot DEDILITY.-Dr. J. address
es young men, and all who have injured them
selves by private and improper indulgence.
IMPUlfiliALt.—These arc some of thesad and
melancholy effects produced by early habits of
youth, via: Weakness of the Back end Limits,
Pains in the head, Dimness of Sight, Loss of
Muscular power, Palpitation of the Heart Dys
pepsia, Nervous Irritability, Detangements of the
Digestive Function., General Debility Symptoms
of Consumption, &c.
MENTALLY—The fearful effects on the mind are
much to be dreaded; Loss of memory, Confusion
of ideas, Depression of Spirit, Evil Forbodings;
Aversion to Society, Self Distrust, Love of Soli
tude, &e., are some (Atha evils produced.
Thousands of persons of all ages,can now judge
what is the cause of their declining health. Los
ing their vigor, becoming weak, pale and emaeia
ced, have singular appearance about the eyes,
tough and symtoms of consumption.
Married persons, or those contemplating mar

at this Institution .within the last ten years, and
the numerous important Surgical Operations

public, is a sufficient guarantee that the afflicted
will find a skillful and honorable pliyecian.
