CIRCUS LICENSE.

Having a business transaction with the treasurer of North's Circus, on Saturday last, wc were obliged to walk near a mile to the place of exhibition. As the exhibition was advertised to take place in the city, we were led to inquire the cause of spreading their canvass east of the Canal, and so far from town. We soon understood the reason. It appears thata license of $100, is exacted by City ordinance for exhibitions of Circuses, Menageries, and other large shows, within the City limits, and this too, we believe, in addition to a small County license. We have heard complaints of this enormous exaction for some lime. The heavy license for Shows, Concerts, Sic., in some instances amounts to an actual exclusion. And if it should be the object—if the case is one of moral philosophy—or designed to hasten the Millennium, then, we shall not enlist in the argument, but ask why not, by an ordinance of explicit phraseology, make the exclusion complete in words that all would understand? But we do not understand such to be the design. The object in great measure is said to be to raiso the revenue, or aid the funds of the City treasury. But is the object attained Is not the license so onerous as to turn the proprietors of Shows and Concerts in the direction cf other towns, and to prevent exhibitions in our own 1 We agree there should be a license, sufficient in amount to operate as a moral check—otherwise, possibly, our place might be flooded with silly and trifling exhibitions, fn the present state of society it would seem thut a large portion of people require and demand an opportunity for amusement. Wise Legislatures in times past have deemed it politic to recognize this claim on the part of the citizen. fn the case of the exhibition of last Saturday, tho lovers of amusement persisted in the enjoyment of their privileges, though at the expense of a long walk—and the City lost its license altogether. Should the charge for exhibitions be reduced, it is quite likely more would be paid to the Treasury in the way o( license—and our Hotel and Storekeepers benefitted to a much greater extent, by a people who could afford to be liberal in proportion to the rcduotion of their necessary expenses. We believe the existing ordinances in reference to Show licenses are not tho work of our present Council—and eo far as we hare heard the expression of opiuion from time to time, on the subject, we think the reduction of exhibition license charges, would be very much in accordance with public sentiment.

Effect of tho Knnsm Excitcment on the Value of Slave Property. A correspondent in the St. Louis Democrat, says "A prominent slave-holder, from Mie of our North-western counties, recently remarked that AtchisonVmovements, in connection with Kansas territory, had already depreciated flic price or real value of land to an amount greatly exceeding the value of the slaves in Missouri. Ho has turned away trade from St. Louis and Missouri river towns, of the greatest importance to them, which can nev?r be regained while his followers rulo on our Western border.— Emigrants now pass north of us, and purchase their wagons and teams and general supplies in Iowa, who would hdve secured their chief supplies here, and greatly augu* m?nted the profits of steamboat capital and labor, while they would have increased the aaaount and value of business done in all the Important towns bordering on Kansas."

THE WHIG P1UK IN NEW YORK. It hat heretofore, (says the National Inteiligtncer,) been the pride of the Whig party, that its membors were banded together, not for the spoils of victory, but fur ihe preservation of sound principles of government and, whether successful or not, they had the proud consciousness that they had checked aggression, restrained lawlessness, and compelled respect for the laws and institutions of the country. In the main, tainance of liberty regulated by law, it was not always essential that they should be victors in mere party contests. It was the restraining, conservative quali ties of Whig orgariiz ttion that kept within bounds the radical and destructive elements incident to all free Governments. Under all circumstances, therefore, of triumph or defeat, tho old Whig party frowned upon and repudiated disorganizing doctrines. As well expressed by Mr. CHOATE, they kept step only to the music of the Union. For a season the war with their well-trained adversaries seemed to be at an ond, and a portion of their members worshipped at new altars but the whig (ire was notquenched nor all its glorious recollections obliterated. Danger to the country is impending, various sectional issues have been raised, and the old Whig bugle has been sounded to rally the good and true.— And they are promptly coming to the rescuer. The distinguished men of Massachusetts, ignoring all the mad isms of the day, have again rallied under the flag of the Union, and resolved to stand by the good work cf their Revolutionary fathers. It gives U3 unfeigned pleasure io be able to record also the movements, in the same path of duty, of the 'old line* Whigs of the city of New York, as evinced at numerous meeting held on Thursday last—an example to be followed, doubtless, in every part of the State.— The proceedings are the emanation of patriotic hearts and sound heads, and as such they are commended to the friends of the country every where.

MEXICAN AFFAIRS.

The friends of Mexico are not without hope that the ball of civil revolution, which for forty years has been kept in constant motion, will soon stop at the point most favorable to public order and liberal government. The experiments which have already been made in government by the Mexican people have resulted in the establishment of the fact that they will not submit to an arbitrary or imperial Government, and that a federal representative Government, such as ours, is essential to their habits, and wants, and condition. The public voice now calls for the trial of another sys* tern, and one which experience has indicated as best suited to the public exigencies. This system is contemplated by the plan of Ayutla, the details of which wo have tocently had occasion to explain. The principle of this plan is a consolidated, representative, republican Government. The intervention of State Governments, with State Executives, and State Legislatures, and S ote Judiciary, will be entirely dispensed with as soon as the new system can be put in motion. There will be a National Executive, and a National Congress, and a National Judiciary, is believed by many of the most enlightened Mexicans, and among thorn the intelligent Minister from Mexico now in the United States, that this system of government will restore order and establish prosperity in Mexico. It is urged in its favor, or rather in anticipation of obvious objections to it, that the interests of all the different portions of Mexico are homogeneous, and therefore invite, instead of repelling, the principle of centralism in the Government. They have no perpetual slavery question to stand as a fixed harrier to consolidation, as we have. The legislative power under this system will necessarily be the ruling power of the Republic, and the success of the system will depend upon the wisdom and intogrity of that branch of the Government. It will belong tu this body to put in operation a more liberal commercial policy than has heretofore existed in Mexico. It will belong to them to curtail the revenues of the Church, and abolish monopolies and exclusive privileges, and rid the country ofihe oppressive burden of a standing army.

The time is soon to bo fixed for the first getierul election of an Executive Chief and of the Representatives to the first National Congress. The two m^st prominent candidates for the office are Gen. Alvarez and Gen. Comonfort. and the choice will be between them. They are alike pledged tu the support of the plan of Ayutla.

J. 0 JONES, P,

From the Uront Halt Lnhfc Trom tho De$tret Newi for tha month of August we gather Information relative to the country. The Mormons are busily at work upon their new Temple. A now settlement has been opened in tho Elk Mountains, under the presidency of Elder Alfred N. Billings. *IIon. John M. Bernhisel, the delegate to Congress from Utah, has been on tour of observation to Fillmore and other places in the vicinity of Salt Lake City.

Salt is now gathered in immense quantities from large lakes, which, during high water, form part of Great Salt Luke. After the water recedes the salt remains on the ground from three to six incites deep, at a distance of two miles from the Lake. The salt is clean, white, and coarse.

A correspondent of the News gives the following account of the discovery of a new kind of sugar at Provo city "Last week a sweet substance was discovered on the leaves of the trees.— A few began to gather it by stripping the leaves and soaking them in water.— In this way Br. A. Daniels made eleven pounds of sugar in one day. It looks and tastes like maple sugar. Many scores of men, women, and children are now engaged in gathering it. When it was first dsscovered some said that it was honey-dew others said that it proceeded from the cotton-wood leaves, but it is found on all kinds of leaves and on tho rocks."

From Kansas.

They are carrying on a fine game in Kansas. It appears that Col. LANE, of Indiana, a member of the last Congress who voted for the Kansas Nebraska bill, applied for admission into the District Court of the United States for Kansas Territory, Judge LECOMPTE presiding, and was refused because he would not take an oath to sustain the enactments of the Legislature of Kansas. J. S. EMERY, Esq., from Lawrence, found himself in a Similar condition, and also refused the oath. Col. LANE then asked the favor of appearing in the behalf of McCrea, as a regular practitioner ifi the courts of Indianrf, and of the United States Su« premo Court, but his requss^wa^ disregarded.

The postmaster of Atchison, (K. T.) returns five copies of the Herald of Freedom, and "most respectfully declines giving them circulation." The proprietor of the Herald has appealed to the Postmaster General.

A letter from Leavenworth of September 24th Says that the District Court as» sembled at that place on the 17th, and Chief Justice LECOMPTE having empanneled a grand Jury of sixteen, to whom was committed the McCrea case—the murder ofClark—the jury considered the case for five days, and the mojority being against finding the bill, the Judge dismissed the jury, and adjourned the court until November. The letter says: "Such an adjournment is not legal, beingauthorized by no statute,and it is in fact a dissolution of the court. As cuch it was doubtless intended, in order to detain McCrea in prison until next spring.

It is supposed that a bond of lawless Missourians are concealed in the bush near the town, awaiting an opportunity to attack our citizens, and destroy the printing press of'The Territorial Register/ Three Ihiw.i'red well-armed citizens are prepared to receiv? them, and sentinels are posted in every part of the town, with Signals for a general rally/'

froposcd New Territory. The Olympic (Washington Territory) Pioneer of the 3d of August contains a call for a Convention, addressed to the people of both Oregon and Washington Territories east of tho Cascade Mountains, to meet at the Dalles on the 25th of August, to take preliminary steps for the organization of a new Territory, to extend on either side of the Columbia river, from the Cascades to the Rocky Mountains. The "Pioneer" says of the project "The late treaties with the Indians in that direction by Gov. Stevens and Gen. Palmer, Superintendent of Indian Affairs for the respective Territories, has thrown open for occupation all the fertile valleys of vast scope of country, and the admirable adaptation of that country, for stock growing has already induced a large number of farmers from the Willamette valley to repair thither with the intention of making that section of country their future home.

4 STATE FAIH.—The State Fair just closed at Indianapolis, is represented as much the best, and most extensive, as regards exhibition and attendance that has ever been held in Indiana. Persons who have visited the State Fairs of Illinois, Iowa, Ohio, and New York this year say the Indiana Fair was the best of all. There was larger collection of people at Indianapolis than had ever been upon any occasion. The amount received at the Fair is about $14,000, which will leave a surplus, over expenses, of $3,000. The Address of Prof. MAPKS was delivered on Thursday afternoon, and is highly spoken of. The Stale Board agreed to give the Prof. $100 for delivering the Address, which sum be generously donated to the State Board for extrs premiums at the Fair of 1850.

SOMETHING NEW.—Last night about 9 o'clock the steamer Black Hawk arrived here from Cincinnati. This is the first time a steamboat was ever here in October. She Is of light draught, and made the trip notwithstanding the river is low. ~~~~~~~

<From the New York Herald of Oct>. 12. THE ARCTIC EXPEDITION. Safe Return of Dr. Kane. The Hartstein expedition, consisting of the screw steamer Arctic and sailing vessel Release, which left this port four months ago in search of Dr. Kane and his party, returned to New York yesterday afternoon and anchored off the Battery. It is gratifying to add that the expedition was successful in its mission. Dr. Kane and his surviving companions were brought safely home by Capt. Harstein.

The Kane Expedition left New York, in the brig Advance, on the 31st of May, 1853, under the command of Dr. Kane, U. S. N., in search of Sir John Franklin.

As soon as the vessels came to anchor off the Battery, Dr. Kane hurried ashore, and proceeded at once to the Astor House, where he was warmly welcomed by a host of his friends and acquaintances. Every one crowded to see him, and for a few minutes he was so completely surrounded and beset by eager inquiries that it was with the greatest difficulty he could make his escape.— When he at last succeeded in gaining the street, he, in company with a friend, got into a carriage and drove up to the residence of Mr. Henry Grinnell, in Bond street. His arrival had been expected by Mr. Grinnell, who received him with such a welcome as only comes from the depths of the heart.

DR. KANE'S OWN ACCOUNT.

"I have no Advance with me," said Dr. Kane, alluding to the loss of his vessel, which, as we have stated, he was obliged to abandon in the ice. "Never mind that," replied Mr. Grinnell; "so long as you are safe, that is all we care about. Come into the parlor," he added, "and let us hear the whole story."

And Dr. Kane proceeded at once to relate the story of his second voyage to the Arctic regions, the perils and dangers to which he was exposed, his wonderful adventures, and still more wonderful escape. We give it as nearly in his own words as possible, stating, however, at his request, that his official account will be published as early as practicable, and that any errors or inaccuracies will be corrected in it. He was obliged, he said, to abandon the Advance in latitude 78,45, after having penetrated as far as 82,30, which was further than any other navigator had gone, with the exception of Capt. Parry, who reached the latitude of 83,15. While here he saw the Polynya or open sea, stretching away off to the north farther than the eye could reach. This point he had reached after travelling eighty or ninety miles over the ice in sledges but as an immense zone of it intervened between him and his vessel, it was impossible for him to prosecute his investigation farther northward. For two winters the Advance was completely hemmed in and as it became evident to him, from the condition of his men, that thay [sic] could not survive another winter, he determined to leave her and make the best of his way to the nearest settlement. He discovered about eighty new capes and twenty bays, and found land up as far as he was enabled to penetrate. The extreme northern boundary of this he named Grinnell's Land, in honor of Mr. Henry Grinnell. The hardships they endured were of a fearful character, and at one time six out of their party of nineteen were so low that it was thought they could not survive. Of these three died, and the rest were saved, after the most unremitting care and attention. One of these was Mr. Alston, the carpenter, who died, while crossing oyer the ice, of lock jaw, superinduced by the intense cold. The other two were frost bitten. The lockjaw, Dr. Kane said was very prevalent.

The party, after making their way over thirteen hundred miles of ice, arrived at Leviely or Godhaven, and had taken passage in a Danish brig, named the Maria, when the Release made her appearance. Their joy at meeting their countrymen here can better be imagined than described.

They lost no time, it is almost needless to state, in taking their departure, and, after a favorable voyage, arrived within sight of our shores, where they were hailed by the steamship Union, about sixty miles east of Sandy Hook.

ADDITIONAL STATEMENT BY DR. KANE. The expedition succeeded in crossing Melville Bay, and reached the headlands of Smith Sound as early as the 6th of August, 1853. Finding the ice to the north completely impenetrable, they were forced to attempt a temporary passage along the coast, where the rapid tides—running at the rate of four knots an hour, with a rise and fall of sixteen feet—had worn a temporary opening. Previous to taking this step, which involved great responsibility, and which was, in fact, equivalent to sacrificing the vessel, a French metallic boat, with a canoe of provisions, was concealed as a means of retreat.

The penetration of the pack ice was attended by many obstacles. The vessel grounded with every tide, and, but for her extreme strength, would not have been able to sustain the shock of the ice. She was twice on her beam ends, and once on fire from the upsetting of the stoves. Some idea of this navigation may be formed, from the fact of her losing her jibboom, best bower anchor and bulwarks, besides about 600 fathoms of warping line. They were cheered, however, by a small daily progress and by the tenth of September, 1853, had succeeded in gaining the northern face of Greenland—at a point never reached before. Here the young ice froze around the vessel, and compelled them to seek a winter asylum.

The winter gave them a degree of cold much below any previous registration on record. Whisky froze in November, and for four months in the year mercury was solid daily. The mean animal [sic] temperature was five degrees below zero, summer and winter included. This, without a doubt was the greatest cold ever experienced by man, as the seat of their winter quarters was nearest the pole.

The scurvy was resdily controlled, but the most novel feature of this winter was a tetanus or lock-jaw, which defied all treatment. It carried away fifty-seven of their best sledge dogs, and was altogether a frightful scourge.

The operations of search commenced as early as March. The first parties, under the personal charge of Dr. Kane, crossed the ice at temperatures of minus 67 below zero. The loss of their dogs obliged them, as an only alternative, to adopt this early travel. Many of the party were frost bitten and underwent amputation of the toes. It was by means of these efforts that the expedition succeeded in bringing back their important results. The parties were in the field as late as the 10th of July, only ceasing from labor when the winter darkness made it impossible to travel.

2. This new land thus cemented to Greenland by protruding ice, was named "Washington." The large bay which intervenes between it and Greenland, bears, we believe, the name of Mr. Peabody, of Baltimore, one of the projectors of the expedition. This icy connection of the old and new worlds seemd to us a feature of peculiar interest. 3. The range of the sledge journeys may be understood from the fact that the entire circuit of Smith's Sound has been effected, and its shores completely charted. 4. But the real discovery of the expedition is the open polar sea. The channel leading to these waters was entirely free from ice, and this mysterious feature was rendered more remarkable by the existence of a belt of solid ice extending one hundred and twen-ty-five miles to the southward. This sea verifies the views of Dr. Kane, as expressed to the Geographical Society, before his departure. The lashing of the surf against this frozen beach of ice was impressive beyond description. Several gentlemen with whom we have conversed, speak of this as one of the most remarkable sights which they observed during the expedition. A surface of three thousand miles has been seen entirely from ice, and was named after the Hon. J. P. Kennedy, late Secretary of the Navy, under whose auspices the exhibition was undertaken.

The land to the north and west of this channel has been charted as high as 82,30. This is the nearest land to the Pole yet known. It bears the name of Mr. Henry Grinnell, the founder of the enterprise.

THE WINTER OF 1854-55.

The extreme severity of the previous season made it evident that the brig could not be liberated before the winter set in. She was fast impounded in the centre of a large field of ice. The provisions, although abundant, were not calculated to resist scurvy, and the fuel, owing to the emergency of the previous winter, was deficient in quantity. Under these circumstances Dr. Kane, with a party of volunteers—on an attempt to reach the mouth of Lancaster Sound, in hopes of meeting the English expedition, and thus giving relief to his associates—passed in an open boat over the track of Baffin's travel, riding out a heavy gale. They found an uninterrupted barrier of ice, extending in one great horseshoe from Jones to Murchison's Sound, and was forced after various escapes to return to the brig.

During the winter which ensued, they adopted the habits of the Esquimaux, living upon raw walrus meat, and surrounding themselves by walls of moss. In spite of these precautions the scurvy advanced with steady progress but by the aid of a single team of dogs Dr. Kane succeeded in effecting a communication with a settlement of Esquimaux seventy miles to the southward, and by organizing a hunt relieved the party. At one time every man of the expedition except Dr. Kane and Mr. Bonsel were confined to their bunks with scurvy but by a providential interposition the party escaped without a death.

ESCAPE TO THE SOUTH.

The great belt of ice made it clear that no relief expeditions from the South could reach the party in time to prevent the imprisonment of a third winter, which, with their deficiencies of fuel, would have proved most disastrous, if not fatal. Under these circumstances, Dr. Kane wisely consented to abandon his brig, and attempt to escape to the South by a combination of boats and sledges. In accordance with this view they left the brig on the 17th May, the temperature at that time being 5 degrees below zero. They crossed a belt of ice eighty-one miles in diameter, drawing the boats behind them, and carrying four of their sick comrades by means of a dog sledge. After an actual travel of 361 miles, they reached Cape A1exander and embarked in open water. Their guns supplied them with animal food, no provisions being carried in the boat, excepting breadstuff's and tallow.

From Cape Alexander they travelled to the Southward, sometimes over ice, some times through water, shooting duck and seal and collecting enough eggs to keep the party in good condition. At Cape York they burned up their spare boats and sledges for fuel and left the coast, striking out into the open sea of Melville Bay, steering for the North Danish settlements of Greenland. Here they were providentially landed on the 6th of August, in vigorous health, after their travel of 1,300 miles and 81 days of constant exposure. From Upernivik [sic], the largest of these settlements, they took passage in a Danish trading vessel for England.

By great good fortune they touched at Disco, where they were met by Captain Hartstein's expedition. The expedition having found the ice of Smith Sound still unbroken, but having communicated with the Esquimaux, had heard of the departure of Dr. Kane, aud retraced their steps.

The expedition has to mourn the loss of three of its comrades, two of whom perished by lock-jaw, and one from abcess following a frozen extremity. They may be said to have fallen in the direct discharge of their duty. Their names are acting carpenter Christian Alston, Jefferson Baker and Peter Shubert, volunteers. =======

LIVER COMPLAINT

Of five years standing cured by using the original and only geauiiwLiver Pills, prepared by R. E. Sellers.

Fearing, Washington Co., O., Sept, 1, 51. Mr. R. E-Sellers: Dear Sir:—It is with pleasure that I can recommend your Liver Pills which have effected wonders wherever used in our part of the country. Many of mv neighbors have used them, and found them of the ereatest utility in billions affections, sick headache, &.c. Asfor myself 1 can aajr there never has been a medicine that has done so much good- I have been afflicted with the Liver Complaint for nearjy 5 years, and have tried rarions remedies, but in vain at last 1 heard of your Liver Pills which have effected the most happy results, and 1 may sav, without exageration, lhat I am now perfectly cured. 1 therefore recommend them to all who are afflicted with diseases of the liver.

Your grateful friend,

Greenland has been followed and surveyed by Dr. Kane towards the Atlantic, with a coast line fronting due north, until a stupendous glacier absolutely checked their progress. This mass of ice rose in a lofty precipice, 500 feet high, abutting into the

sea. It undoubtedly is the only barrier between Greenland and the Atlantic—it is an effectual barrier to all future explorations. 1. This glacier, in spite of the difficulty of falling bergs, was followed on to sea by means of sledges, the party rafting themselves across open water spaces on masses of ice. In this way they succeeded in travelling eighty miles along its base, and traced it into new Northern land. This glacier is, we believe, the largest ever discovered by any previous navigator.

MALARIA OR MIASMA. These diseases are common to many localities of the United States but wherever they prevail. North, South, East or West, they all equally spring from the same raiasmal cause Thegreai variety of symptoms and forms of disease is owing principally to diiierence in age, sex, constitution and habits of the sufferers out as the cause is the same, they will all equally yield to a remedy that is competent to overcome or remove that cause.

By the 1 iws of Nature, every principal 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, whetlipr arising from Marshes, Stagnant Water, decomposition of animal and vegetable matter, or even newlv cleared lands, is the same in character and efiect is a poison floating in the atmosphere, causing disease to Ml who breathe it. In accordance to those unalterable laws governing the unerring affinity subsisting between opposites, there is in the preparation before us, onered to the public.

THE NATCRAL AHTIDOXE T& MALARIA, which neutralizes the poison whenever It comes in contact with it, even in the open air, and when taken internally completely purifies the system affected by it of its baneful innueuce, and tnus restores and preserves health.

The remedy is believed to be entirely new, and unknown to any but the proprietor, wno distinctly claims the following extraordinary results Irom 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 directions, a radical cure will be effected the patient continuing free from the compiaint for ever: unless subsequent exposure to malaria should make its use again necessary

In its operation upon the poison in the system it will immediately relieve all the distressing symptoms of billious or ague diseases, and when tne disease is cured, it will entirely prevent the accession of

GENERAL DEBILITY ASD NIGHT SW&^T^, which so often follow the administration of other medicines. The patient at once begins to recover appetite and strength, and continues to improve until restored to perfect health.

By its use jFever and Ague may be banished from every family and class in the community fanners, mechanics, and all laboring people may be using this article as a

PREVENTATIVE,

And pursue their respective avocations in perfect safety from ague or billious attacks during, the sickly season, which is often to them the most valuable part of the year.

Since the introluction of the CURE in every part of the United States, its success has been so complete and unvarying as to have fully proved these assertions iit favor of its extraordinary merit.

Wheri these declarations were made, at the date of its introduction, they seemed incredible to many, even of the most candid minds, because all the resources of science had been taxed in vain to subdue ague or billious diseases and what was8till worse for ague Bufferers, all their remedies or treatment, whether scientific or empirical, have been limited to the use of poisonous or destructive drugs, snch as Arsenic, Quinine, Mercury, Salicine, &c. The effects of these are sometimes woree than the disease they subdue, and when such remedies fail, or give only tempo rary relief, their poisonous effects are superadded to the poor sufferer's first complaint.

On this account ague sufferers should bo particularly carefiil about using any secret Fever and Ague remedies, notwithstanding thu mikers of them uniformly assert they may be taken with perfect safety, even when it ia notoriously well known that their potency depends solely upon destructive poison.

Now as a proof that tho remedy is not only valuable on account of its power to cure diseases, but that it is also

Worthy of Public Confidence,

Because of its

SINGULAR AND ENTIRE HARMLESSNESS, The following certificate from one of the most celebrated chemists in the United States has been obtained, and a copy of it is attached to every bottle

NEW YORK, June 11,1855.

I have made a chemical examination 'RHODES' FEVER AND AGUE CURE,' or 'ANTIDOTE TO MALAHIA,' and have tested it for Arsenic, Mercury, Quinine, and Strychnine, but have not found a particle of either in it, nor have 1 found any substance in its composition that would prove injurious to the constitution.

AS. R. CHILTON, M. D., Chemist." It is a stubborn fact, therefore, that this Remedy is destined not only to relieve tho human family from malarious diseases, but to do aH equally good work by preventing the taking of other medicincs which do harm.

The entire absence of any baneful ingredient makes this remedy, not more valuable as a Cure, than it is as a preventative.

No class of disease is so easily managed as the one under consideration, if the medicine betaken in advance. This is owing to the diseases being produced by one and the same cause, and there fore all, both residents and travelers, thould pro tect themselves by the timely use of this preventative, and not wait for the poison already lurking in their veins to develope itself in a violent attack. Take the cure as a preventative, and so destroy the poison before it does harm.

Full directions ond advice as to Diet and Habits of life prepared by a distinguished Physician long resident in a Billious climate now accompa ny each bottle.

It will often be found nocessary to precede this medicine by a mild cathartie or antioillious purgative. The very best thing for general use is a moderate dose of Castor Oil, the object of which is to cleonse the stomach and free the biliary passages. Remembsr that where this is nocessary or there is costiveness it MUST BB TAKEN or the operation of tho antidote will be seriously obstructed.

ONLY CAUTION.—In certain specified casest pour the contents of one or more bottles of the Cure into shallow vessels, (dining plates,) and place them in sleeping rooms for the vapor rising from the medicine, and also1 the air wafted across, or circulating over the dregs of it, after the liquid is evaporated, will counteract and destroy, to a degree commensurate with its exposure, the miasmata or poison contained in the apartment. This mode of exhibiting the Cnre should likewise be resorted to when very young infants are exposed to malarious situations.

The bottles in which this medicine is put up have the words "RHODES' FEV*R AND AGUE CVRE"

These precautions are adopted to prevent counteifvits and imitations. The KKLIANCE FOR ITS SUCCESS IS ENTIRELY T7FO* ITS ACTUAL MERITS wlicrevcr introduced and used These will be considered suthcient.

They are mild in their operations, end penetrate the whole system, removing every obstruction.— They act upon tho Skin, Kidneys, Lungs, ami Bowels, these being the channels provided by our Creator for carrying off all impurities irom the system. If they become clogged or closed by eating im,ro ier food.breathinsi impure air, overexhaustion or any other cause, the corruptions or humors will continue to accumulate until tho body is filled with disease.

These Pills open the pores of the skin, promote a proper discharge from the KiJneys, carry off nil phlegm and other humors from the Lungs, and by the bowels, remove all impurities that cannot pass by any other outlet along with tha refuse of the naural food.

They strengthen instead of prostrating tno system.

Diseases Peculiar to Femalea

These Pills were not gotton up for speculation, but after being used in private practice were presented in their pre&ent form as a reliable family medicine. They are a great medical companion at certain perioild, and when there is a genern) weakness, loss of appetite, sharp lacinating pniiM in the uterine organ, dragging down pains reaching to the small of the back, pains in the breast*, whites, and difficult monthly disdnrgcs Durin# Pregnancy these Pills are not excelled. They generally ensure an easy delivery, and a quicK getting up.

AYER'S PILLS.

FOR ALLTIIEPURPOSESOF A

FAMILY PHYSICIAN.

There has long existed a public demand for an effective Purgative Pill which could be relied on as sure and perfectly safe in its operation. '1 his has been prepared to meet that demand ond an extensive trial of its virtues has conclusively shown with what success it t|ccomplishes the purpose designed. It is easy to make a physical Pill, but not so easy to make the best of all Fills —one which should have nono of the objections, but all the advantages of every other. This lias been attempted here, and with what success wo would respectfully submit to the public decision. It has been unfortunate for the patient hitherto that almost overy purgative medicine is acrimonious and irritating *o tho bowels. This is not. Many of them produco so much griping pain and revulsion in tho system ns to more than counterbalance the good tobe derived from them. These Pills produce no irritation or pam, unless it arisetf from a previously existing obstruction or derangement in the bowele. Being purely vegetable, IK* harm can arise from their use in any quantity but it is better that any medicine should DO taken' judiciously. Minute directions for their use in ihe several diseases to which they are applicable are given on the box. Amoncr tfie complaints which have been speedily cured by them we may mention Liver Complaint, in its various forms of Jaundice, Indigestion, Languor and Loss of Appetite. Listlessness, Irritability, Billious Headache, Billious Fever, Fever and Ague, Pain in the side and Loins, for in truth all these ate but tho consequence 01 diseased action of the liver. As an aperient, they afford prompt and sure reliefin costiveness, Piles, Colic, Dysentery, Humors,Scrofula, and Scurvy, Colds, with soreness ol the body. Ulcers and impurity of the blood in short, ony and every ease where a purgative is required.

They have also produced some singularly sac^ cessful cures in Rheumatism, Gout. Dropsy, Gravel. Eysipelas, Palpitation of the Heart, Pains in the Back, Stomach, and Side. They should be freely taken in the spring of tho year to purify tho blood and prepare the system for the change of seasons. An occasional dose stimulates the stomach into healthy action and restores the appetite and vigor. They purify the biood, and, by their stimulant action on the circulatory system, renovate the strength of tho body, and restore the wasted or diseased energies of the whole organism. Hence an occasional dose is advantageous even though no serious derangement exists: but unnecessary dosingshonld never be carried too far, as every purgative mcdicine reduces the.Btrengtb, when taken to excess. The thousand cases ill which a physician is required cannot be enumerated here, out they suggest themselves to the reason of every body and it is confidently believed this pill will answer a better purpose than any thing which has hitherto been available to mankind. When their virtues are onee known the public will no longerdoubt what remedy to employ when, in need of acarthartic medichio.

Being sugar wrapped they are pleasant to take,and being purely vegetable, no harm can arise, from their use in any quantity.
