1t has been remarked by eminent men,
that in the varied catalogue of diseases to
VIII ich man is liable, there is scarcely one
of such Importance and such interest
as Scrofula, whether we look 10 the OBJ.
security of its origin. its insiJuous progress,
the number and variety of organs that it
attacks, or its remarkable incurabllty and
extensive fatality.
Scrofula has baffled the skill of the most
eminent physicians in this country and in
Europe. But there is An antidn,e for this
disease in "Dr. Guysous Ertract Of Yet

proving itself a Specific IN the mos, severe

They seemed not to take notice Of him,
and coming SO near to the astonished
fellow without any sign Of stopping to

that kind came upon him. And By him
flew the rapid engine. To his no lit.
