Iam no more afraid of malaria than I am of you,” and as the speaker was at least ten inches taller than the reporter, and propor- tionately broader, his fear of that dread malady was probably ‘rot very excessive. “T’ve had malaria, and I’ve been eured.” “Yes, but a man can have malaria more than once.” “Not if he is cured the way I was. About ten years ago I was living in Indiana, in Vigo county, near Terra Haute. In those days a man was regarded asa stranger until he had drank about a gallon of whisky and quinine, and shaken down his bed stead three or four times with the ague. Ihad a rather reticent na ture, and I suppose it took the cli- mate longer to get acquainted with me,than it did the ordinary run of men. For I had to drink about a barrel of whiskey and take whole pounds of quinine before I could get strong enough to even shake myself, let alone a bed.” “How was I cured?* “Well it was a novel cure. I boarded with a Mrs. Dennis, who told me’she could cure me 1f I would take her medicine. Finally I agreed. She brought a towel and bound it around my head so I could not see; then she brought a glass of water, and told me to take my dose, and ’ immediately swallow the water. The dose tasted like a little ball of dust, and as it was going down I felt a sharp pain in my throat, as ii it had been scratched. “The next morning Mrs. Dennis brought a little box and showed me her medicine. It was a big, hairy, black spider, alive, and the mate to the one I had swallowed the day be- fore.” The medicine this gentleman took for malaria, may have been effective, but few would caretotry the remedy. Nor is there any necessity for it. Malaria is a poisoned conuition of the blood produced by bad air and water, which enter the blood chan- nels through the stomach and lungs and other ways, and produce injmi- ous effects on the liver and kidneys. It is cured by putting the liver and kidneys in perfect working order. The drugs ordinarily used for such purposes frequently do quite as much harm as good, and leave the system in an enfeebled condition. The certain and harmless remedy for malaria is Warner's safe cure which puts the liver and kidneys in healthy action, when the poison is carried out of the system, and ihe serious effects it engenders, pass away. J. M. Booth, Springfield, Mass., under date of March 28th, 1887, writes:—“One year ago I had the malaria—had had it more or less for ten years. I stopped all othe medicines and took Warner's safe cure, and it cured me. Thig coun try is famous for malaria, and Iknow ‘Warner's safe cure will cure it.” People who live in malarious lo- calities will find in Warner's safe cure a specific against contracting this disease. The malarial poiso: can find no entrance tothe system, if the liver and kidneys are kept iv healthy action. The gentleman who swallowed the spider, concludes his narrative in the New York Mail and Express by saying:— “I was effectually cured but I wouldn’t take another dose of that medicine to save my life.” The king of Sweden, Oscar Fred. erick, is of a literary turn of mind and has just published a volume of poems.
