INPrJCriNS, THE PERSIAN FEVER CHARM,jf,1 >R the prevention and cure of Futerand Ague.JP and IXIin u* Frvirx. This wonderfnl rocaedywas brought, to the kuowledge of the present pro¬prietory ay a friond who has beeu a great aravwltR-in Persia and the Holy land.While going down the river Buphrafco*, he ex¬
perienced a severe attack of Fever and A^ae. On
discovering bio condition, one of the Boattaen tookfrom hi* person an Amulet, saying, " We-er t&i«and no Fetor toHI touch you." Although incredu¬lous as to itd virtues; he complied, and «xp*iea-oed immediate relief, and has since always foundit an effectual protection from all malarious eocu-
plaints.Oa further investigation he found that th» boat-
man attributed to is Mirucutou* power*, aad saidthai it could only be obtained from tho Priests ofthe Sun. Sometime afterwards, the gentleman in
?onversiag with a Priest obtained from him t-be se¬
cret of its preparation, and ascertained where th«medicinal herbs were found, of which it was com¬
pounded. Tho wonderful virtues of this arfrioleb.'ire induced a full belief in the minds of the na¬
tives in the miraculous healing powers of theirPriests.
Sinoe his return to America. .'It hai beon friedwith the happiest effect by several Ladies and Gon-tiernen of high character, who have given it thonu>*t unqualified praise. This remedy havingbeen a specific in Persia for hundreds of roars, forthe prevention and cure of FcVer and Ague andBilious Fevers.is now otTcred, to the Americanpeople. It will be sent by mail, prepaid, with fulldirections for use on receipt of one dollar.

Insects may be cut and pu\\ed to.
egwithout giving any indication o( pa\a ^y<.,.nthey lose a leg or two,_ they go &bo'ulbusiness without seeming to mind it at all.Cut a wasp in two, so that his thorax 5m «Cp.aratedfrom bis stomach and abdomen, andhe walks about merrily, and eats with a::
unusually good appetite. In fact, as hisfood passes through him at once, it givttihim no inconvenience, and he can ear anyquantity. The enjoyment does not l:i#t verylong,, because the process of nutrition can¬
not go on without the orgaus of digestion;but Mr. Wasp does nut appear to suffer inthe least.
Insects, in certain case?, show muscularcontortions, but these are not proof of pa:n..We know that there may be the most spas¬modic action in the human body without theleast suffering. Some years ago we knewuf a little boy whose lower extremities worothrown into spasms by an injury to the spine.The little fellow had no feeling wh tevorbelow the point of injury, and was greatlyamused to lie and see himself kick. So, theconvulsive spasms of men who are hangedare no proof of pain. When the nock i* bro¬ken there can be none below th« point oidislocation. When the neck i« not broken,the pressure of blood on the brain produced*insensibility almost instantly. Ali men whohave recovered from banging, afcer it was
supposed that they were dead, give th same
