Compound Extract of SarsapariIla,

the most cfFcctual remedy which the medical
skill of our times can devise for this every
where prevailing and fatal malady. 1t is COM
bined from the most active remedials 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-
tons which arise from it, such as ERUprIvB
and SKIN DISEASES, ST. ANTHoNYs FIRE,
ROSE, or ERYsIPELAs, PMPLEs, PusTvLIs,
BIorcuEs, BLA1Ss and Bolts, TUMoRs, letter
and SALT RHEUM, SCALD HEAD, RINowoRa,
RHEUAATISM, SYPHILITIC and MERcURIAL DIs-
EASES, DRoPSY, DYSPEPSIA, DEBILITY, and,
indeed, ALL COMPLAINTS ARISING FROM VITA-
TED OR IMPURE BLOOD. The popular belief
in " imptyity Of tie blood" is founded in truth,
for scrofula is a degeneration of the blood The
particular purpose and virtue Of this Sarsapa-
rilla is to purify and regenerate this vital fluid,
without which sound health is impossible in
contaminated constitutions.

Scrofula, or Kings Evil.
Mays, 1858.

Is constitutional disease, corruption of the
blood, by which this fluid becomes vitated,
weak, and poor. Being in the circulation, it
pervadcs 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 il NAV
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, bv the venereal infection. What
ever be its origin, it Is hereditary in the con-
stitution, descending :. from parents to children
unto the third and fourth generation )" indeed,
it seems to be the rod of Him who says, at
will visit the iniquities Of the fathers upon
their children" ,....
It's effects commence by deposition from the
blood Of corrupt or ulcerous matter, which, in
the lungs, liver, and internal organs, is termed
tuberclcs; in the glands, swellings; and on
the surface eruptions or sores. This foul cor
ruption, which genders in the blood, depresses
the energies of life, so that scrofulous constitu-
tons not only suffer from scrofulous COM
plants, but they have far less power to with
stand the attacks Of other diseases; conse-
quentlv, vast numbers perish by disorders
which, although not scrofulous in their nature,
are still rendered fatal by this faint in the
system. Most Of the consumption which de-
climates the human family has its origin directly
III 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;
their persons are invaded by this lurking in
fiction, and their health is undermined by it.
To cleanse it from the system we must renovate
the blood by an Alternative medicine, and in
vigorate it by healthy food and exercise
Such medicine We supply in
