SCROFULA, OR KINGS EVIL is n CON
- stitutional disease, dint, corruption of the
blood. by which this fluid becomes vitiated weak
and poor. Being in the circulation, it 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 1t may not destroy. The
scrofulOus taint Is variousy caused by mercuri..l
disease, low living, disordered or unhealthy
food, impure air, filth and filthy habits the depres-
sing vices. and, above all. by the vencreal nfec-
ton. Whatever be its origin it is hereditary in the
constitution descending from parents Ito children
unto the third and fourth generation;,' indeed it
seems to be the rod of Him who says Il will visit
the inquities of the fathers ION thsir children
1t effects commence by depo sition from the blood
of corrupt and ulcerous matter which, in the lungs
liver and internal organs is termed tubercles; iD
the glands, swellings; and on the surface, erup-
tonS or sores. This foul corruption which gen
ders in the blood depresses the energies of life so
that scrofuious constitutions not only suffer from
scrofulous complaints but they have far less power
to Withstand the attacks of other diseases eonse-
qucntly, vast number perish by disorders which,
although not ScrofuloUs in their nature are still.
rendered fatal by this taint in the system. Most
of the consumption which dcccminates the human
family has its origin directly in this scrofu!ouscen
taminatiOn. and many destructive diseases of the
liver, Kidneys brain, and indeed, Of all theurgans
arise from or are aggravated by the same cause

the most cifectual remedy which the medical skill
of our times devise for this every where pre-
vailing and fatal malady. 1t is 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 des-
tructive consequences. Hence it should be employ
ed for the cure of not only scrolula but also those
other affections which arise from it. such as Erup-

and, indeed all Complaints arising from VitiatcI
or Impure Blood. The popular belief in ..impurf-
ty Of the Hood" is founded in truth for scrofua is
degeneration ofthe blood The practical purpose
and virtue of the SarsaparilIa is TO purify and re-
generate this vital fluid. without which sound
health is impossible in contaminated constitutions
