Scrofula. or Kings Evil.

is a constitutional disease. a corruption Of the
blood, BY which this fluid becomes yitiated,
weak and poor Being in the circulation, il
pervades the whole body, and may burst out
in disease on any part Of it. No organ is free
from its attacks, nor is there one which It may
not destroy. The scrofulous faint is variously
caused by mercurial disease, low living, dis
ordered or unhealthy food, impure air, filth
and filthy habits, the depressing vices, and,
above all, by the venercal Infection What
ever be its origin. it is hereditary in the con-
stitutiof, descending from parents TO children
unto the third and fourth generation !" indeed,
it seems TO be the rod Of Him who says /"
will visit the iniquities Of the fathers upon
their children"
Its effects commence by deposition from the
blood Of corrupt or ulcerOus matter, which, IN
the lungs, liver, and internal organs, is termed
tubercles in the glands, swellings; and on
the surface, oruptions or sores. This foul cor
ruption, which genders in the blood, depresses
the energies Of life, 50 that scrofuous constitu-
tons not only suffer from scrofulous COM
plants, but they have far less power TO with
stand the attacks of other diseases conse-
qucntly, vast numbers perish by disorders
which. although not scrofulous in their nature,
arc still rendered fatal by this faint in the
system. Most Of the consumption which do
climates the human family has its origin directly
in this scrofulous contamination and many
destructive diseases Of the liver, kidneys brain,
and. indeed, of all the organs, arise from or
are aggravated by the same cause.
One quarter Of all our people are scrofulous I;
their persons are invaded by this lurking in
lection, and their health is undermined by it.
To cleanse it from the system we must renOvate
the blood BY an Alternative medicine, and in
vgorate it by healthy food and exercise.
/ Such medicine we supply IN

Compound Extract Of SarSaparilla,

the most effectual remedy which the medical
skin Of our times can devise for this every
where prevailing and fatal malady. 1t is COM
bined from the most active rcmedials that have
been discovered for the expurgation of this foul
disorder from the blood, and the rescue Of the
system from its destructive consequences.
Hence it should be employed for the cure Of
not only scrofula, but also those other affec-
