Scrofula, or Kings Evil,


 ;s a constitutional disease, a corruption, of the hlood. by which this fluid becomes vitiated, ,reak. and poor Being in the circulation, it neryadcs the whole body, and may burst out Tn disease on any part of it. No organ is free from ;ts attacks, nor is there one which it may not destroy. The scrofulous taint is varously caused bv mercririal disease, low living, disorde:ed or nnheaIfhy food, impure air, filth, and filthy habits. the depressing vices, and, above all, by inc yenereal infection. Whatever be its origin, ;r is hereditary in the constitution, descending " from parents to children unto the third and fourth generation;" indeed, it seems to be the rod of Him who says, "I will visit the iniquitics of the fathers upon their children"
 Its effects commence byFdeposltlon from the blood of corrupt or ulcerous matter, which, in tls lungs, liver, and internal organs, Is termed tubercles; in the glands, sweilings; and on the surface, eruptions or sores. This foul corrup- tion, which gcnders in the blood, depresses the energies of life, so that scrofuious constitutions not only suffer from. scrofuIous complaints, but they have far less power to withstand the attacks of other diseases: consequently, vast numbers perish by disorders which, although not scrofu- ious ill their nature arc still rendered fatal by this taint in the system. Most of the consump- ton which decimatcs the human family has its origin directly in this scrofulous contamination; and many destructive diseases of the liver, kid news, brain, and, indeed, of all tie organs, arise from or are aggravated by the same cause. One quarter of all our people are serotutous their persons arc invaded by this lurking infec- ton, and their health is undermined by ii. To cleanse it from the system we must renovate the blood by an alternative medicine, and inviSorate it by healthy food and exercise. Such Eledi- cine we supply ill

AYERS Compound Extract of Sarsararlla,

the most cfIcctual remedy which tie medical skill of our times can devise for this everywhere prevailing and fatal ma,ady. It is combined from the most active remcdials that have been discovered for the expurgaton 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 rot only scrofula, but also those other affections which arise from it, such as ERurrIvE and SKIN D1s- EASES, ST. ANTI1oNY's FIRE, RosE, or FRY s1pELAs, PIMPLEs, PUsrULEs, BLorcHEs, BLAlSs and BoILs, TEMoRs, TETTER, and SALT RnEuM, ScALD HEAD, R1NGwoRM, RHEUMATISM, SYPH1LITIc and MERcURIAL DISEASES, DRoPsY, DYSPEPSIA, DEBILITY, and, indeed, ALL COMPLAINTS ARISING FROM EIrIATED OR IMPURE BLOOD. The popular belief in "impu,ity ot' the Jood," is founded in truth, for scrofula is degeneration of the blood. The particular purpose and virtue of this sarsa- pariia is to purify and regeneratc this vital fluid, without which sound health is impossible in contaminated constitutions

THE CROOKED FooTpATH.
BY Q. ". HOLMES.

2 An. here 1t is! the sliding rail g That marks the old remembered spot The gap that struck our schoolboy trail- The crooked path across the lot. It left the road by school and church,
 penciled shadow, nothing more, That parted from the silver birch,
 And ended at the farmhouse door. No line or compass traced its plan
 With frequent bends to left or right, In aimlcss, wayward curves it ran,
 But always kept the door in sight. The gable porch, with woodl,ine green
 The broken millstone at the mill Though many rood might stretch between, The truant child could see them still No rocks across the pathway lie
 No fallen trunk is OCT it thrown And yet 1t winds we know not why,
 And turns as if for tree or stone. Perhaps some lover trod the way,
 With shaking knees and leaping heart And 50 1t often runs astray
 With sinuous sweep or sudden start. Or one, perchance, with clouded brain
 From some unhappy banquet reeled- And since, our devious steps maintain
 His track across the trodden field. Nay, deem not thus-no earth-born will Could ever trace f;.ultless line; Our truest steps are human still,--
 To walk answering were divine! Trtants from love, we dream of wrath ;- Oh, rather let us trust the more! Through all the wanderings of the path, We still can see our Fathers door.

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 arc 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 its use. When once tried, its superb ority over every other medicine of its kind is too apparent to escape observation, and where its virtues arc known, the public no longer hesitate what antidote 10 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 forgotten.
