Scrofula. or Kings Evil.

il n constitutional disease, . corruption of tho blood. by which this fluid becomes vitiated, weak, and poor. Being in the circulation, it peryades the whole body, and may burst out in disease on any part of it. No organ IS free from ;ts nttacks. nor is there ono which it may not destroy. The scrufulOus taint is varionsly caused by mcrcurial disease, low living, disordered or unhealthy food impure air, filth, and filthy habits, the depressing vices, and, above all, by the ycnercal infection. Whatever be its origin. 1t is hereditary in the constitution, descending {" from parents to children unto the third and fourth gcneration;" 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 tla lungs liver, and internal organs, is termed tubcrclcs in the glands, swellings; and on tho surface, eruptions or sores. This foul corrup- tion, which genders in the blood. dcpresses the energies of life, so that scrofnlous constitutions not only suffer from scrofulous complaints, but they have far less power to withstand the attacks of other diseases: consequently, vast numbers perish by disorders which, although not scrofu- lous in their nature arc still rendered fatal by this taint il the system. Most of the consump- ton which dccimates the human family has it's origin directly in this scrofulous contamination and many destructive diseases of the liver, kid- ncys, brain, and, indeed, of all the organs, arise from or are aggravated by the same cause.
 One quarter of all our people are scr0fulous their persons are invaded by this lurking infcc- ton, and their health is undermined by it. To cleanse it from the system we must rcnovatc tho blood hy an altcrative medicine, and invisorate it by healthy food and exercise. Such medi- cine we supply in

AYERS Compound Extract of Sarsaparilla,

tho most cffcctual remedy which the medical skill of our times can devise for this everywhere prevailing and fatal maiady. It is combined from the most active remedials that have been discovered for the expurgation of this foul disor- der from tho blood, and the rescue of the sys- tenn from its destructive consequences. Hence it should be employed for the cure of not only scrofula, but also those other affections which arise from it, such as ERuPTIvE and SKIN D1s- EASES, ST. ANTuoNY's FIRE, RosE, or FRY s1rELAs, PIMpLEs, PUsruLEs, BLorcHEs, BLA1Ns and Bo1Ls, TUMoRs, TErrER, and SALT RHEUM, ScALD HEAD, RINGwoRM, RHEUMATISM, SYPHlLIrIc and MERcURIAL DISEASES, DRorsr, DYSPEPSIA, DEBILITY, and, indeed, ALL COMPLAINTS ARISING FROM VIT1ATED OR IMPURE BLOOD. The popular belief in "imprty of the blood," is founded in truth, for scrofula is degeneration of the blood. The particular purpose and virtue of this Sarsa- parilla is to purify and regenerate this vital fluid, without which sound health is impossible in contaninated contributions.

JAxEs 9UTHRIE There is qniet but strong movement now in progress, designed to make James Guthrie of Louisville, Kentucky, the next Democratic candidate for President; and, as we probably know more of him than do some of thoee who viii be called on to give him their support, we propose to contribute our mite toward their en-
 ightcnment.
 Mr. Guthrie is strong man, intellectually and physically. He is more than sixty years old, put has been little in public life, owing to the antagO
 is,n of his political views to those which prevailed in Louisville and Kentucky during the better pOr- ton of his mature life. Forty years agp, when he was not nearly rich as he is now he came in co- lision with Mr. Clay in the fierce co ltro: :ersy 5e tween the bankrupt and the solvent portions of the people of Kentucky, engendered by the creation of . new Court to uphold Stop Laws in a season of general embarrassment, whence the terms of '' New Court and "Old Court parties. Mir. Clay was an "Old Court Mir. Guthrie {. New Court man, and the antagonism thus engendered contin- ued to the death of the former Hence Mir. GutIl- lie became 6 Jackson man, and in due time was dubbed Democrat" which. Us he is about the most decided aristocrat in Kentucky. was of about the average impropriety. Mir. Guthrie is very rich. very independent in his notions, heavy save-hol der, and very determined champion of Slavery. He has been Member of the Kentucky Senate. of the last Constitutional Convention of that State, and presided over the Treasury Department under President Pierce with decided ability. He is at heart for Protective Tariff, but thinks the rose would smell sweeter or less rankly by some other name. He Is rather opposed to public robbery and would make better President than the Sham Dem- ocratic party has ever yet elected.
 We have thus given brief but frank and entire y candid account of Mir. Guthrie SO far as we know him. Of his chances or wishes as to the nomina- ton proposed, We have no knowledge ard little riosity So far as the public service is concerned we apprehend that whether one or another receives eiae next Democratic nomination for President will make little difference. but should prefer to have anJoppOsing candidate whom it will be an honor to beat.-Nep Fork Tribune

 So wide is the field of its usefulness, and 60 numerous are the cases of its cures, that almost every section of country abounds in persons, publicly known, who have been restored from alarming and even desperate diseases of the lungs by it's use. When once tried, it's super- ority over every other medicine of its kind is too apparent to escape observation, and where its virtues are known, the public no longer hesitate what antidote to employ for the distressing and dangerous affections of the pulmonary organs that are incident to our climate. While many inferior remedies thrust upon the community have failed and been discarded, this has gained friends by every trial, conferred benefits on the afflicted they can never forget, and produced cures too numerous and too remarkable to be fOryOtten.
