ScrOfnla, or sz.:;;,,a's Evil.

is constitutional disease, a cofss.sfion of the
blood, by which this fluid becomes ~-itfated,
weak, and poor. Being in the Circulation, it
pervades the whole body, and may burst on {
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 variousIy
caused by mercurial disease, low living, iits-
ordered or unhealthy food, impure air, filt6
and filthy habits, the depressing VICES. md
above all, by the venereal infection. What.
ever be its origin, it is hereditary in thc con.
stitution, descending from parents to cbildro,,
unto the third and fourth generation !" indeed,
It seems to be the rod of Him who saws. "
will visit the nniquities 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 OH
the surface, eruptions or sores. This foul cor
ruption, which genders in the blood, deprcsses
the energies of lifc 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-
quentiy, 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
n this scrotulous contamination and many
destructive diseases Of the liver, kidneys, brain,
are aggravated by the same cause.
One quarter of all our people are scrofulous:
their persons are invaded by this lurking in.
lection, and their health is undermined by II
To cleanse it from the system we must renoyate
the blood by an Alternative medicine, and in.
vigorate it by healthy food and exercise.
Such medicine we supply in

the most effectual remedy which the medical
skill of orr times can devise fer 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 ERUpTIvR
and SKIN DISEASES, ST. AETHoNY's FIRE,
ROSE, or ERYsIpgLAs, PIMPLEs, PUsrULEs,

EASES, DRoPsY, DYSPEPSIA, IDENTITY, and,
indeed, ALL COMPLAINTS ARISING FROM VITA
TED OR IMPURE BLOOD. The popular belief
in " impawity Of the blood" is founded in truth.
for scrofula is a degeneration Of the blood. Tho
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.

CLEANING SEED WHEAT The follow
ing is from Sir. Jno. Johnston, of Gene
VA. n. Y, q celebrated farmer of that
State, and is highly commended as inyal-
liable for the purpose:
"Take ont the fauning-mil riddles;
some call them screens; call tho lower
one only screen--it takes out mustard
seed and cookie IN par After the rid
dies are out, take OF the shaking rod or
at least the one nearest the wings or fans.
Then let one man turn the WINS or fans
by the crank or handle, as usual; let A.
Nother pour the wheat into the hopper
from basket or any other vcssel-a tin
pail answers very will-ict him pour the
wheat in regularly and not very fast, if
much chess. Let the man turning keep
up steady wind he need not turn very
fast. Have girl or boy, or man,
or woman, if you choose, to take back
the clean wheat as it comes down and |
will guarantee that every chess seed will
be blown out. The man pparing in the
wheat ought to be boss, to make sure
that the man tp-sSrfng does not slack up
'oo II uenis-or that ne don stop turning
untiL'rfe wheat and chess are all out Of
sstne hopper, else it may fall down among
the clean wheat. fthc wheat is 90 lbs.
to the bushel or over, very little, il any,
will be blown out with the chess. As
considerable will lay on the cookie and
mustard screen, when that is going to be
put down it is safest to scrapo back the
upper part with the back OF the hand
because if there is chess anywhere amonst
the wheat, it will be there Now let this
be done precisely as irect, and the
wheat will be made entirely free of chess,
unless three chess seeds are sticking to-
geLhef, which is sometimes the case with
The top seeds on the main stalk, in which
case there may be some lartin the wheat;
still little more wind will blow them
out"
