Scrofula, or Kings Evil.

is . constitutional disease, . corruption of tho blood, by which this Huid becomes vifiated, weak, and poor. Being in the circulation, t 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 taint is variously caased by mcrcurial disease, low living, disordered or unhealthy food, impure air, filth, and filthy habits, tho depressing vices, and, above all, by the yenereal infection. Whatever be its origin, ir is hereditary in the constitution,- descending "from parents to children unto the third and fourth generation 2" indeed, it seems to be tho nod 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 tubcrcles; in the glands, swellings; and on the surface, eruptions or sores. This foul corup- ton, which gcnders in the blood, depresses the energies of life so that scrofulous constitutions rot only suffer from scrofuous 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 are still rendered fatal by this taint in the system. Most of the consump- ton which decimates the human family has it's origin directly in this scrofulous contamination i; and many destructive diseases of the liver, kid ncys, brain, and indeed, of all the organs, arise from or arc aggravated by the same cause.
 One quarter of all our people are scrofulous i; their persons are invaded by this lurking infec- ton, and their health is undermined by it. To cleanse it from the system we must rcnovate the blood by an alternative medicine, and invigorate it by healthy food and exercise. Such medi- cine we supply in

AYERS Compound Extract of Sarsaparilla,

the most cffectual remedy which the medical skill of our times can devise for this everywhere prevailing and fatal malady. It is combined from the most active rcmcdisls that have been discovered for the expurgation of this foul disor der from the 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 ERUPr1vE and SKIN D1s- EASES, ST. ANTHoNY's FIRE, ROSE, or ERY- s1rELAs, PIMPLEs, PUsruLEs, BLorcHEs, BLAINs and Bo1Ls, TUMoRs, TErTER, and SALT RHEUM, ScALD HEAD, R1NGwoRM, RHEUMAT1sM, SYPH1L1rIc and MERcUR1AL DISEASES, DRoPsY, DYSPEPSIA, DEBILITY, and, indeed, ALL COMPLAINTS ARISING FROM V1r1ArED OR IMPURE BLOOD. The popular belief in "impurity of ths bood,'' is founded in truth, for scrofua is degeneration of the blood. The particular purpose and virtue of this Sarsa- paria is to purify and regenerate this vital fluid without which sound health is impossible in contaminated constitutions

FOR THE RAPID CURE OF

FOR THE RAPID CURE OF Coughs, Colds, Influenza, Hoarseness, Group, Bronchitis, Incipient Consump- tion, and for the relief of Consumptive Patients in advanced stages of the dis ease.
 So wide is the field of its usefulness, and SO 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, its superb orty over every other medicine of its kind is too apparent to escape observation, and where it's 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 fOrCOtten.
